<p>ALT is pleased to announce a follow-up webinar to the recent blog post by Gabi Witthaus, "<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://altc.alt.ac.uk/blog/2020/03/when-th... href="https://altc.alt.ac.uk/blog/2020/03/when-the-vle-becomes-your-campus-som... target="_blank">When the VLE becomes your campus: some thoughts on engaging learners online</a></p>
<p>Transitioning from face-to-face teaching to online teaching provides opportunities for innovation alongside a range of challenges. Educators within this space move across a continuum of practice as they negotiate changing contexts, new technologies, and the resulting pedagogical implications. As educators reconceptualise student learning online, they must consider their pedagogical practices and what they might do to enhance students engagement in their learning and with their learning community. While we are currently physically distancing ourselves from our students, it is essential to ensure opportunities for connectedness. Research shows that online presence is the most critical factor contributing to student retention. This interactive webinar shares effective practice concepts related to online engagement and invites audience participation and questions.</p>

<p><b>Webinar abstract:</b></p>
<p><i>“During this session I would like to demonstrate how Microsoft Teams and OneNote can be used to deliver lecture style content to students in a way that broadly replicates the facilities available in lecture theatres. If you have a tablet and stylus pen, this could be of particular interest if you would typically use a whiteboard of visualiser during your sessions – for example for numerical, mathematical or formula driven sessions where you would like to demonstrate techniques to students. Using Microsoft Teams, you can share your desktop with students who have joined your meeting. Writing in Microsoft OneNote then enables you to demonstrate techniques effectively by live streaming the answers that you write onto your tablet device. You can also record your session in Microsoft Teams so that a session can be delivered synchronously to students who can join the meeting live, as well as asynchronously to those who cannot.”</i></p>
<p>Andrew Smerdon, Teaching Fellow in Accounting & Finance at the Lancaster University Management School, will give a <b>practical workshop via webinar</b> on how he uses OneNote to deliver lectures. By adding MS Teams to the mix, we create a solution for remote learning and teaching. </p>
