Description
What are Active Strategies for Structuring a Synchronous Class?
Teaching an effective and engaging synchronous online course can be a difficult task. Live synchronous class sessions, where participants are logged in and interacting at the same time, can provide a high-touch element previously missing from online instruction. However, it can be difficult to strategically structure an active learning environment during synchronous instruction.
