The Online MPH program centers students’ lived experience and communities across the globe through collegial learning practices that encourage local impact in real time. By designing our courses with assignment guidelines that are adaptable and tailored to students’ interests and by considering how students are contributors rather than consumers of learning and course content, we foster a learning environment that is responsive and celebrates student voice in projects and feedback mechanisms. This presentation will share pedagogical strategies, example assignments, and feedback structures we use to bind the student-community-focus of our program and programmatic competencies and vision.
