I was about to register for this exciting looking webinar, when I
realized I am the speaker. ;-)

Due to the risk of COVID-19, universities are using online delivery of
courses. But "delivery" suggests students are passive recipients of
knowledge, a view reinforced if all students get are recordings of
lectures, or a live lecturer who drones on and on in Zoom. Students
learn best when they are doing things and there are many techniques
developed for getting students active in the classroom which translate
online easily. These and be used with the basic learning management
system (such as Moodle) and video conference system (such as Zoom).
There are also specialized online tools for individual and group
activities, such as Slack, Piazza, GitLab, Padlet, and Trello. These
will be discussed in this webinar and participants asked to contribute
their experience.
Here are some questions to get started:
1. What tips, tools and techniques do you use to get students actively
engaged?
2. Do you do this differently in online, if so how?
