Please see information below for a talk that WCGS Director Mat Schulze and WCGS member Kyle Scholz on how moving between online and on-campus language classes affects learning:</div>

<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal;">Mapping educational trajectories: What effect does transitioning between online and on-campus courses have on learning?</span></font></h1>
</div>
<div>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: -webkit-standard;"><font face="Calibri">We are seeing a push towards offering more courses online because they can provide students with new forms of social and learning interaction, widen their access
to education, and offer an individualized learning experience in large classes. However, little research exists on how students transfer between online and on-campus courses and what effects this has on students’ academic success. We analyzed student data
collected over 10 years from language courses with online and on-campus counterparts to better understand how online learning enables students to meet their intended learning outcomes.</font></p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: -webkit-standard;"><font face="Calibri">We gratefully acknowledge the funding of this project through a LITE seed grant.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">The talk is organized through collaboration by the Centre for Teaching Excellence, the Centre for Extended Learning, the Waterloo Centre for German Studies, and the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies.</font></p>
