Webinar with William Oakes
Friday, April 17 at 12:00 UTC
The global disruption has moved most instruction online and this has included project-based courses. These can be especially challenging to manage in a distance learning setting as the work involves teams and often hands-on work in the traditional mode. While physical building with teams is not possible in an online and dispersed setting, productive learning and project progress is possible. This webinar will explore ways that faculty are managing teams with different distance learning tools that allow faculty to engage entire teams and facilitate breakout sessions with small teams. We will discuss how to organize student teams to work together and models for holding students accountable. Assessment is another challenge in this time and online portfolios will be discussed with options to manage assessment.
