Synchronous Sessions

During this workshop, we will be facilitating two real-time sessions and an optional synchronous learning lounge. These sessions will give us a chance to interact with one another in real-time and explore some of the course topics. Most importantly these sessions will be a venue for you to connect in small groups, and share your strategies and ideas about learning online. 

Session 1: Balancing Asynchronous and Synchronous Teaching

In this session, we will share and discuss how we can integrate asynchronous and synchronous activities in our teaching. You will also have an opportunity to share your plans for online course development and some of your initial thinking about how you will approach your course. 

Session 2: Presenting your work

The final synchronous session will be focused on each of you sharing your work so far with your peers. We will also touch on some final topics of the course, in-particular available supports for your course development and teaching. (See Instructions: Small Group Presentations for more details)
