realized I am the speaker. ;-)


Tools to engage students online
by Tom Worthington, Honorary Lecturer in Computer Science, ANU

Due to the risk of COVID-19, universities are using online delivery of 
courses. But "delivery" suggests students are passive recipients of 
knowledge, a view reinforced if all students get are recordings of 
lectures, or a live lecturer who drones on and on in Zoom. Students 
learn best when they are doing things and there are many techniques 
developed for getting students active in the classroom which translate 
online easily. These and be used with the basic learning management 
system (such as Moodle) and video conference system (such as Zoom). 
There are also specialized online tools for individual and group 
activities, such as  Slack, Piazza, GitLab, Padlet, and Trello. These 
will be discussed in this webinar and participants asked to contribute 
their experience.

Here are some questions to get started:

1. What tips, tools and techniques do you use to get students actively 
engaged?

2. Do you do this differently in online, if so how?
