Online Instructors Who Want More Student Involvement

The advent of online education has opened new doors in academia. Educators have sharpened their own teaching skills by learning to adapt their traditional methods for a new generation of learners.

Still, most online instructors restrict their teaching to the online classroom and to tasks that can be completed on the computer. As a result, there is less involvement between teachers and students and the course material.

Since learning goes on even after class ends, it’s important that educators recognize and seize all resources and opportunities to build on their lessons.

Discovering how to do this effectively is the subject of Five Tips to Engage Students Outside of the Online Classroom, a Magna 40 Minute Seminar.

See how distinctive learning projects can help students apply what they’ve learned in real-world situations. You also get an array of tools that help students continue the coursework on their own and report the results in class.

This event shows you how to break through the online wall and reach students as if they were sitting in front of you. It reveals ways for students to get the most from the course and instill new excitement in your own teaching.
