What is Prayer

Faith-based institutions offer educators a unique set of challenges and opportunities as they are tasked with the integration of faith in the classroom experience while delivering content necessary to meet subject matter objectives. Evaluation of audience, context, and protection of the learning environment are key elements for consideration when incorporating faith within the online classroom. The purpose of this chapter is to support knowledge and competency in implementing faith-based content, integration techniques, and usable instructional solutions that promote authentic connections. When applied strategically and mindfully, faith components can support mutual trust between the learner and the educator, establish a foundation for deep personal growth, and actively fulfill the online instructional objectives. This chapter will cover the background and history of faith in adult education, evaluation of audience and context, protection of the learning environment, utility of faith-based instruction, mindfulness, and techniques for integration.
