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.
