Examining Asynchronous & Synchronous Strategies For Active & Engaged Learning

Description  Challenge - How to use asynchronous & synchronous activities effectively to meet your learning objectives Help faculty overcome the tendency to focus on the location of class (online or face-to-face) rather than the mode of instruction or interaction best aligned with learning objectives Force faculty to think beyond “what do I do?” to examine “WHY do I do what I do?” Emphasis on targeting learning objectives rather than content coverage Understanding the unique strengths/advantages inherent in synchronous and asynchronous learning strategies Key Takeaway Advances in technology are blurring the boundaries between in-class and out-of-class learning activities. In this webinar, you will explore a decision-making process for determining the most appropriate mode of interaction (asynchronous versus synchronous) for creating an active, engaged learning experience. Overview Frequently, best practices in teaching and learning are based on the mode in which a c
