Course Design and Online Teaching Experience Sharing from Michael Gale Teaching Award Winner
Start Date

Abstract:

In this sharing session, Professor Raymond Wong will share his experience and strategies to engage students both inside and outside classroom. When students are actively engaged in their learning process, they take ownership of their learning and make the learning process more effective. However, it is always not easy to design course materials that ensure students’ interest and participation. Reflecting on his teaching experience and using his Common Core Course (COMP1942 Exploring and Visualizing Data) as a showcase, Professor Raymond Wong will share some of the effective ways he experimented. He will also share his experience of using Zoom features to engage students for online teaching.
