Description

Guest: Dr. John Broome

Communication can be challenging in higher education. From institution to institution — and even within the same institution — differences in power, position, or pedigree can impede effective communication. But the pandemic era ushered in new channels of communication that have allowed those from higher ed to connect and share ideas from anywhere in the world, at any time of day, and irrespective of differences. Hear from the creator of the online group, Higher Ed Learning Collective, and learn how this space has evolved since the outset of the pandemic.

This episode explores:

• Adapting to the needs of higher ed communities — in the pandemic era and beyond
• Considerations for encouraging productive communication in online communities
• The key role community moderators serve to promote equity and social justice
• The importance of leadership and organizational structure to sustain common goals
