Active Learning - January 21st, 2021
Description
We all start to be used to using learning platforms and video meeting tools for meetings as well as different forms of learning activities. But to be honest, it can sometimes be a bit hard to get participants and learners to keep engaged when we have that screen in between.
So what can we do to get our students to be active participants and how will that impact their learning? During this seminar we will discuss how to integrate active learning principles in an online environment.
