Tools used to engage students in online delivery, part 1, August 18, 2020, 4- 5 pm MDT Edmonton
Due to the risk of COVID-19, universities are using online delivery of courses. But "delivery" suggests students are passive recipients of knowledge, a view reinforced if all students get are recordings of lectures, or a live lecturer who drones on and on in Zoom. Students learn best when they are doing things and there are many techniques developed for getting students active in the classroom which translate online easily. These and be used with the basic learning management system (such as Moodle) and video conference system (such as Zoom). There are also specialized online tools for individual and group activities, such as Slack, Piazza, GitLab, Padlet, and Trello. These will be discussed in this webinar and participants asked to contribute their experience.
Here are some questions to get started:
1. What tips, tools and techniques do you use to get students actively engaged?
2. Do you do this differently in online, if so how?
