Are you wondering how you can closely replicate an in-person learning experience for a lecture, discussion, and/or small-group focused course that has moved online?
In this presentation, Professor Ross “Chad” Nunamaker of Wright State University will explain and demonstrate how to use free and low-cost digital platforms to conduct synchronous, online learning that includes small-group discussions and activity breakouts. The platforms covered during this presentation can be easily used in conjunction with your university- or publisher-provided LMS. After this training, attendees will be better able to covert in-person courses to an online experience without making significant changes to primary approaches for facilitating student learning. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Professor Nunamaker questions and share their own experiences in a live Q&A following the presentation.
