Developing online teaching and learning

Abstract

Trendsetter Presentation https://doi.org/10.26188/22106807.v1   As an enthusiastic online teacher for more than two decades, I have learned a great deal over the years. This presentation will highlight a few selected lessons, from early realisations to covid-inspired learning. I will share a little of what I have learned from working with esteemed collaborators, including a glimpse of university students’ online learning experiences, and insights into developing online teaching in higher education through continuing professional learning. On the basis of research and experience, this presentation will draw parallels between learning online and learning to teach online. Key themes discussed will include diversity, agency, social learning, creativity, and continuity. Participants will be invited to reflect upon their own experiences and epiphanies as online teachers and learners.
