Course Overview:
“Are your online students engaged and learning?”
Teachers are currently using several online tools to deliver their lectures. Concerns have been expressed whether students behind the muted microphones and muted videos are participating during the lesson and learning.
The course is therefore about aiding teachers to address these concerns and adopt pedagogy/andragogy methods that can be effectively delivered online to install student-centered learning methodologies where students feel engaged and motivated. At the end of the online class, the students should have a feeling of satisfaction and come out with the intention to learn more.
This course will not only demonstrate but also guide you to make your virtual classes more engaging, interactive while generating interest among your students.
