SYS Presents: Adventures in Online Education6 Nov 2020

A Student's Perspective

Bre North is a former online student and now attends Oregon State University, in pursuit of her teaching license.

Bre and I talked for over an hour together - this is the condensed version of our conversation with the biggest highlights for all online educators: Bre will uncover for us the benefits of chat over email and reveal how important open communication between teachers and students is. We'll learn about Socratic Seminars and using online discussions to engage even the most introverted students. Finally, we'll discuss the power and benefit of shared control in online classes.
