IPDA Cymru hosts webinar on engaging learners online
December 7, 2020
This event took place on 3rd and 4th of December 2020.
We all want learners who are engaged – who participate, contribute, share in discussions, ask questions and undertake activities with intent and enthusiasm. There are often many factors and obstacles to engendering an environment like this. Principles and practices related to:
- effective communication
- setting clear expectations
- modelling
- feedback
- creating a learning community
- creating a supportive environment
- motivation
Applying these to specific contexts is easier said than done, especially if the context is dynamic and unfamiliar, like teaching online.
In this webinar, we’re inviting you to send in your questions in advanceto provide the stimulus for our discussion with you. This will hopefully create a collaborative environment for us to think innovatively about the challenges and explore potential solutions.
