In the last module, you explored online identity, privacy, and security. These topics connect directly to the Computer Science Standards of Learning for multiple grade levels under Cybersecurity and Impacts of Computing.

In this module, you will learn some strategies to teach effectively and accessibly online and consider the ways that student identities matter and impact their learning. In terms of the Computer Science Standards, we will focus on the practice of Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture and the broader principle of Equity.

In the first section, you will view some workshops that were created by Technology-enhanced Learning and Online Strategies (TLOS) at Virginia Tech to help folks transition learning online in Spring of 2020. These workshops address some key concepts that you need to know about teaching online and provide some tips and best practices to consider when thinking about accessibility. Similar to the previous module, you will be viewing recordings and reading some guides then completing an assignment designed to help you engage more with the topics discussed.

In the second section of this module, you will work your way through a series of topics adapted from the "How Student Identities Matter" workshop that is taught by Michele C. Deramo, Assistant Provost for Diversity Education at Virginia Tech. These pages and activities are somewhat adapted to be more appropriate for your context but draw upon that source material. Each topic will include a page of content that might include brief videos or readings, and there will short reflective activities in the middle and at the end.

Before you start the first workshop, we would like you to answer a few questions as a form of pre-assessment.
