Transitioning your in-person lectures to online lessons with interactive experiences

Are you ready to take your teaching skills to the next level? Our Zoom Workshop Series is here to help you transition from in-person lectures to online lessons with interactive experiences! And let's be honest, knowing the use of Zoom is pretty much a must these days. So, come join us for these four workshops and learn how to deliver engaging online lessons with ease!

  • Zoom Basics | familiarizing yourself with the basic features and setup of Zoom for online teaching
  • Polling | engaging your students with real-time responses, assessing their understanding, and gauging class progress
  • Breakout Rooms | fostering collaboration and active learning through group discussions and activities
