In a classroom setting interaction among students is the norm. How
do you replicate that informality, spontaneity, and focus online?
This book provides you with a framework to think about the
different kinds of engagement you want to foster -- whether
participation, collaboration, or quick feedback -- and then
introduce you to available online tools, some of which may be in
your LMS -- offer practical tips, and guide you to how make the
most of commonly available technologies to achieve your
goals.Within the context and progression of a course -- from
developing a welcome page, presenting yourself and the purpose of
your course, to icebreakers, assignments, and alternative forms of
assessment -- the authors introduce you to a range of easy-to-use
online tools that they have introduced to the faculty and teachers
in their classes, and that foster active learning and student
engagement. In doing so they provide a checklist that you can also
access and print from the Web, to help to you review additional
tools from the wide and ever-growing range of tools that are
available online and determine whether they are appropriate for
what you want to accomplish.This book will help you connect with
students, whether you're teaching synchronously or asynchronously,
regardless of the devices students may be using; develop community;
and introduce you to gamification to add enjoyment and variety to
your students' experience of your class.Recognizing that using new
tools with confidence requires practice, the authors offer ideas
for implementing them in private online spaces. Each chapter
concludes with reflection questions that can be addressed
individually by the reader or within a learning community to
encourage faculty to work together and support each other in
virtual teaching and learning. This book addresses the challenge of
embracing new models of course offerings to students in the
evolving landscape of virtual learning.
