Register now for the Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences CEED Faculty Module: Engaging learners in online discussions

The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences is offering a new CEED module called Engaging learners in online discussions.  This module is ideal for any staff that have previously attempted to engage with students through online discussions and have come across difficulties, or staff who regularly engage with online discussion forums and are seeking ways to improve student engagement. Increased student engagement can also result in an increase in academic workload, so the module will also introduce workload management strategies for online teaching.  By the end of this module, participants will have developed strategies to enhance student engagement in online forums, including facilitation and moderation, cohort management, student and teacher expectations, assessment strategies and evaluation.   Please register here by Monday 20 November 2017: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRXTSkxQmhu3r3IhNbgjHxi0xVP5BQxGrj1_0EvifnJe3vIg/viewform More information: Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences 2017 CEED Module: Engaging learners in online discussions Moodle open date: Monday 23 October 2017 Moodle close date: Friday 15 December 2017 Face-to-face workshop (compulsory, lunch provided):  Wednesday 22 November 2017, 9am to 12pm, M4, 10 Chancellors Walk, Clayton Campus.  Facilitators: Dana Bui, Silvia Vogel and Kirsten Schliephake
