What Is The Session About?
Online learning is here to stay.
However, educators and adult educators alike still face challenges and issues till this day on ensuring that online lessons remain engaging and interactive. Over the past two and a half years, the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) has learnt and curated a number of tips and tricks to increase and sustain learners' engagment and interactivity during online lessons, while integrating different tools to create a conducive learning environment.
In this session, gain insights to IAL's online learning strategies for active interaction in an online environment that is cost-effective and easy-to-use.
In the first part of the programme, participants will be introduced to Nearpod - an online collaborative and interactive tool that IAL AEs used while facilitating IAL flagship programmes. This tool will allows AEs to gather feedback through polls, conduct simple quizzes to check on learners' understanding and provide a collaborative space for learners to share and express themselves. Together with the trainer, participants will discover imaginative ways to use Nearpod in an Adult Learning context. New enhanced features of this tool will also be covered.
In the second part, participants will be introduced to tools that IAL have made available to AEs such as Google Workspace, Office 365 and Canvas Learning Management System. The trainer will share how to embark on this well-known cloud-based file storage platform that provides word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software as well as demo on how to organise file and navigate the interface.
The lesson will be delivered in-person at IAL premises. Participants are required to bring their laptops that can connect to the internet for the hands-on session and try out Nearpod and Google Workspace tools. Ability to use a web browser such as Google Chrome and simple word processing tool is required.
