Workshop description
This interactive workshop will provide teaching assistants with the techniques and confidence to effectively deliver an engaging lesson when teaching synchronous (live) online sessions. You'll have the opportunity to practice your online teaching skills and learn tips and tools for engaging your students throughout the lesson. This session will be particularly helpful in preparing you for online microteaching sessions in the Fundamentals of University Teaching program.
Workshop delivery
This online module consists of:
- a pre-workshop activity, in which you'll be asked to prepare a 2-minute lesson on a topic assigned to you. The facilitators will email you details about the activity and your lesson topic a few days before the workshop.
- a live synchronous session in Webex Meetings, that takes place on Tuesday, July 6 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. The link to the Webex Meetings session will be sent to you by email in the registration confirmation email.
