Teacher question - how do I create an engaging self-paced 'online lesson' for my students to work though at their own pace?

The following are potential ideas or approaches to creating a self-paced asynchronous lessons for your students. They are just a few ideas to kick-start your thinking, supercharge your pedagogy and prepare for teaching in the 'new normal'.

You might like and therefore adopt one or more of the planning ideas below, but they all could be adapted (or even combined) to create an exciting and engaging online experience for your students and better suit the specific needs of your curriculum.

For each option below, you will find a CPD video(s), handouts and several examples to get you started.
