Active Learning within Zoom – Using Polls, Breakout Rooms and Whiteboards
July 10, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm CDT
July 10, 2020 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Why active learning? Because students learning in an online environment experience interactions with you and/or their classmates differently than in a traditional face-to-face course and the evidence overwhelmingly supports that students that are engaged in the learning process, actually achieve higher levels of learning. Join us for a panel discussion on the use of various Zoom tools that promote active engagement in the classroom.
Session Objectives:
After participating in the PROFF session, participants will be able to:
- Recognize and understand the importance of active learning in the classroom, specifically the online classroom.
- Understand the rationale behind utilizing breakout rooms, be able to set-up, and facilitate breakout rooms in Zoom.
- Implement the use of polls in Zoom.
- Recognize the potential of using whiteboards as a means for student-faculty interaction.
