Hi everyone! I’m @lindasteer, Assoc Prof of Art History and Visual Culture in the @miwsfpa at Brock University. It’s great to have the opportunity to present a keynote in such a unique format for @OpenArtHist #OAHdebrief2020 1/ Both @brocku and I are in St Catharines, Niagara Region, in Ontario, the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabe peoples. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement covers this area and all of us who live here. #OAHdebrief2020 2/

I’m a big fan of “small teaching” to promote connection, self-explanation and practice in the classroom (Lang 2016).
Collaborative Lego, drawing, or design challenges break routine, build concepts, and let students think through problems in unexpected ways.

With big intro courses (90-300 students❗️) the most equitable/accessible outlet for these activities is the discussion board.
So, how to translate this online? How can they engage meaningfully with the content + have fun?#OAHdebrief2020 4/
