Structure and Content for Synchronous Sessions Maximising Engagement and Learning Opportunities

This session will be structured in the same way as I carry out my online session. I will start the session with a quiz! I will then give an overview of a structured synchronous session for my module (Introduction to Neuroscience), and how the synchronous session maps the learning outcomes and the online activities. We will then have breakout rooms to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach, and any barriers to success or student engagement.  

You will need to watch the session on your computer, but also have access to a smart phone!

Sessions Aims

The aims of the session are to: 

• Discuss synchronous online teaching, and share best practice

• To identify strengths and weaknesses in different approaches

• To find a consolidated method for synchronous online sessions
