Before I talk about some of the ways in which you can encourage student engagement with videos in your Canvas course, let’s talk just a bit about some video recording options as well.

This afternoon, we'll be facilitating a session on active learning to engage your students with their peers and with the content in meaningful ways. In the meantime, here's a great Faculty Focus article, "Enhancing Student Engagement & Interaction with Online Digital Tools."

This week we followed up on last week's Webex Breakout Sessions by investigating activities and strategies (with a heavy emphasis on the use of Google Jamboard) for small groups in Webex! This 33-minute video contains ideas and resources so that you and your students can get the most out of Breakout Sessions.

RESOURCES:

• Get your own copy the slides from Tuesday's "Breakout Strategies & Activities" presentation: https://bit.ly/LOL-breakout-activities
  
• Use the LOL Suggestion Box (https://bit.ly/LOLsuggestionbox) to share:
  • Topics you would like to see in future LOL sessions
  • Ideas you would be willing to share (we'd love to have anyone who is interested as a guest, or to have small groups with a common interest as a panel!)
    
  • Questions or comments you may have about LOL specifically, or about synchronous online teaching in general!
• Remember, LOL will be held every Tuesday afternoon from 2:30-3:30 PM! The session room will open 15 minutes prior to start time. No registration necessary - just use this link to join: https://bit.ly/LiveOnlineLive

We hope to see all of you at next week's LOL session!
