WORKSHOP: Active Learning Strategies for Online Teaching: From Lesson Plan to Program Development (90 mins)

Incorporating active learning strategies in online teaching involves several challenges both at the level of course development but also at the level of global program development. This session is co-organized by Dr. Ioulia Rytikova and Dr. Mihai Boicu and is building on the participants long-term successful experience in active learning, course and program development. In this roundtable/panel discussion we propose to analyze from various perspectives several challenges faced in this process, including: learning materials (from textbooks to open resources), classroom format (from mini-lectures to lighting talks), objective grading and personalized feedback (from detailed rubrics to automatic grading), student assessment (exams vs. quizzes), and assistive technology (from learning management systems to intelligent teaching assistants).
