Stay connected with students, no matter what happens. Learn what you can do to provide engaging educational experiences using secure, virtual classroom technologies.
Understand what you need and want in a virtual learning solution. Here are a few examples.
A space to collaborate, share materials and chat. Students shouldn’t have to sacrifice the benefits of a dynamic classroom environment when learning remotely. With the right tools, you can give them a virtual space that is flexible and encourages enriching interactions.
The ability to record videos or lessons. Recorded lessons can be part of a homework assignment or preparation for a daily classroom activity. For those students who are unable to attend a live classroom session, recordings give them the opportunity to stay up to date.
Simple calendaring and video meeting capabilities. It’s important to offer one-on-one time with students, just like you would on campus and/or in office hours. The same tools may be used to host regular or ad hoc faculty meetings to connect around the topics that matter.
