Student Engagement in Online Course Environments
How can students be encouraged to engage actively, collaborate and participate consistently, even in an online setting?
Student engagement is a key prerequisite for effective learning. At the same time, it presents particular challenges for teachers in digital learning environments. In this workshop, we will explore how synchronous and asynchronous online teaching can be designed to enhance learning and engage students. You will learn about various teaching methods, try them out for yourself and reflect on how to apply them to your own teaching.
This workshop is part of the training programme offered via the KreativEU Centre for Excellence in Digital Education and AI. See this website for more information on KreativEU.
