Course Description

Online, blended, and flexible learning often result in less engagement from students once in the online learning space. How do you get your students to participate and communicate in virtual classrooms? CIET invites you to join our session on increasing student engagement with simple activities and tools to change your approach to active learning. This interactive session is designed to shift your perspective as you will be introduced to a range of freely available and easy to use tools, such as Mentimeter, Kahoot, Collaborate Ultra or Padlet to improve students’ collaboration and engagement. There will be time to practice these tools, collaborate with colleagues and share your own ideas and experiences on how to increase classroom participation and student engagement.
