UCL Arena Centre and UCL Digital Education are delivering this session, which is open to all UCL staff who teach.
A move to online learning means that much face-to-face teaching has been replaced with synchronous teaching online. These means that academics now have to learn a new skill: how to transfer classroom teaching and management to web-based delivery.
Students – and lecturers – can feel that online learning is isolating and lacks the immediacy and energy of classroom engagement. A well-managed live online teaching session can create opportunities for engagement and conversation.
This session has three aims to learn about:
- creating a community of practice
- setting learner expectations of synchronous learning
- teaching and managing groups in synchronous sessions.
It also aligns with Sections 3 and 4 of the Connected Learning Essentials course and so provides you with an opportunity to build on existing knowledge.
You will have the opportunity to use Mentimeter, Blackboard Collaborate and Zoom.
