Encourage your students to learn from each other by creating opportunities for peer interaction
The eLearning team have worked with a number of academic colleagues to develop some Interactive Learning Applications. This webpage details some of these projects and explores the potential for using these applications in your teaching.
Visualisations such as annotated videos and animations can be used to explain complex scientific principles and help students understand abstract concepts and cement the learning. The eLearning Team can help produce high quality visualisations and animations.
Students are accustomed to normal behaviours when studying in a physical classroom but may not be accustomed to suitable behaviours when learning online. They will need clear and concise guidelines for behaviours and activities. Additionally interacting online can quickly become a full-time endeavour. It’s important to set expectations amongst students of what your role involves at the outset, to avoid unrealistic expectations leading to reduced satisfaction.
