Abstract:
|
During the COVID pandemic academic advisors were forced to re-create their roles with students in virtual spaces, relying on technology (Zoom, Meet, etc.) to do so. It was hard to imagine remote academic advising (RAA) as something that could rival in-person appointments (IPA). Many advisors might say this is still the case, however, there may be a resource that can aid advisors in re-envisioning the virtual or 'mirror space' to better equalize the IPA vs RAA playing field. This session will introduce attendees to the functionality of the Zoom Whiteboard and other similar platforms ( i.e. Teams Whiteboard). Attendees will be invited to participate in live demonstrations of how a whiteboard tool can be utilized and learn how to build visual components to help supplement and re-imagine their virtual advising appointments.
Attendees will take part in a step by step build out of their own whiteboard spaces. This includes demonstrations of how a whiteboard can work in theory, but also in practice. The practical aspects of the presentation will use NACADA core competencies as a guideline. Advisors will spend time conceptualizing their own mirror spaces taking inspiration from own office spaces they have previously decorated (Conceptual). Attendees will evaluate previously existing institutional resources (Informational) and build a 'base-board' to address their relational goals. |
