Description

Thanks for considering this course. My teaching has moved 100% online and over the last one and a half years, I’ve put a lot of thought into what makes effective online teaching.

This course will build your confidence, give you new ideas, and make you reevaluate your online teaching. All the ideas and techniques shown revolve around the principles of providing a better learning experience for the learner, and reducing our stress levels and time we need to prepare and follow-up classes.

Topics include:

The Essentials and IT

What are the essential pieces of software and hardware or peripherals we need, how can we improve sound and lighting, and how to make our teaching more efficient with tools, tabs, bookmarks, shortcuts, virtual backgrounds, aliases and an organised PC.

Interaction

How can we engage and interact with our learners and deal with the problem of poor eye-contact? When should cameras be on and when off?

Pedagogy

How can we best present materials and lessons online? How can we use electronic course books and portals to bets effect?

How can we give effective feedback and language correction? How can we best deal with course materials and scans/PDFs. What do we look for in an electronic course book and how can we get the most out of them?

How can we exploit the multimedia potential of the web and simulate the kinaesthetic activities we had in the real classroom using jamboard and Padlet?

How can we spice up your lesson with games in MSWord, Jamboard and Quizlet?

The principles apply to the teaching of all languages, and whether you use MSTeams, Zoom, GoogleMeet or another portal.

It's is good, gives you a lot of important information and tools to prepare for you future classes. Teacher can be a little more enthusiastic but it's not boring, which is good, just my preference. Definitely recommend.

Most of the content really is new to me. Although some things might be seen as 'common sense', I hadn't really thought about them before. So, it has been truly helpful. And the actual impact of the lessons goes beyond teaching online.

This course is very practical and informative. David Jennings patiently explains how to use new Apps, resources and programs. Also, he shares useful ideas and tips which I implemented straightaway and they have improved the teaching and learning experience.
