Blurb: We all have to suddenly design our teaching to be fully operational in the online space. This can be daunting, especially if you think that students learn differently and that we enable a nice online experience for the students to ensure engagement and participation without the luxury of standing in front of them like we usually would have. There are many questions that come to mind: How do we ensure constructive alignment, having to focus on the outcomes but also on the way we want to assess our students? Which online activities do we choose and how many, to not overbear the students, but still making it interesting enough and keep to the notional hours?
Fear not. The good news is that there is a free online tool that have been developed that can help you design effectively.
This presentation will focus on a can-do approach introducing Laurillard's 6 ways of learning with practical tips for designing your teaching online. This will help lecturers that still have to develop or already developed material in the online space.
