NCSEHE webinar — Five meaningful minutes: Small changes to support psychological needs, wellbeing and motivation online in 2020
Event Details
Online webinar
7 May 2020
On Thursday 7 May, the NCSEHE hosted a webinar presented by Associate Professor Lydia Woodyatt, award winning lecturer at Flinders University.
Overview
Students’ experience of wellbeing and distress is interconnected with their learning and motivation. However, addressing wellbeing within curriculum can seem challenging in an online (or constantly changing) environment, or when we feel we don’t have time ourselves to explore the options, or we feel that we lack the expertise.
In this session, Lydia explored what we can do with five meaningful minutes online to support wellbeing based on the psychological needs of students. Lydia explained how small five-minute changes in teaching practice can sometimes make big impacts on student learning, wellbeing, and motivation.
