OLC - Facilitating Live, Online Sessions - 20-22 August 2025 Online
Kindly note: Registrants will receive an email communicating the relevant information.
Workshop Description:
With the growth of technologies that support live, online sessions (e.g. Zoom, GoToMeeting, Adobe Connect, etc.), the term distance learning is becoming a misnomer. More of us are meeting, teaching, and presenting in face-to-face, synchronous (real-time) online sessions where we can feel closer than ever to students and colleagues in online learning environments.
Instructional sessions with groups of students, individual "office hours," webinars, meetings, and trainings can all take place in a live, online session. While presenting online is an in-demand skill, few people have been taught how to conduct this type of learning experience. Not to worry — this workshop will turn you from novice to expert online facilitator in just three days.
You'll gain the skills needed to present to students, faculty, and/or staff. Strategies will include best practices in online engagement built on a foundation of enjoyment, inspiration, and passion for teaching. Brain-based teaching strategies will help you keep people engaged and focused, harnessing the knowledge of how the brain learns best to boost your attendees' learning and growth. In addition to the live session that will model effective online presentation skills, attendees will also participate in asynchronous online discussions and complete assigned readings on effective presentation skills to maximise their learning from this event.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify strategies to capture and hold participants’ attention in a live, online session.
- Describe typical mistakes made by online instructors and presenters in synchronous online learning environments
- Articulate a personalised plan for improving one’s online presentation skills
