#27 edition of the webinar series Online Together a brought to the screens the teachers from the universities, who shared with us the experiences of transposing the teaching online, from the tools and technologies used to the activities and projects carried out with the students in the class in the last year - a year of education during the pandemic.
Today's presenters - professors from the Polytechnic University of Timișoara with teaching activities in various fields of specialization, shared with the participants various methods used during this period, from adapting the courses from the classic model to online, the tools used, the interactive activities made and effective to keep students' attention online, but also the innovative working methods used to examine the most effective their open educational resources and many more components of their own application experience.
How were the online courses conducted and what tools were used?
How did you work with students to transfer knowledge and build skills in an attractive and interesting way online?
What projects and activities were carried out with the students and what assessment methods were used?
Teachers from the faculties of Industrial Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Communication Sciences, Production Management and Transport and Engineering in Hunedoara they discussed the experiences of a year of pandemic education and have exposed various practical and personal examples, with their own confessions on both positive experiences, as well as those negatively greeted online - at by communication, management, up to dthe man of experimental sciences, or engineering, with many questions and curiosities from the participants, but also messages of thanks and appreciation for the methods presented.
Topics covered in the presentations include: interaction components used, synchronous and asynchronous working methods and tools, examination scenarios, and a series of statistics on the student experience, with a range of open educational resources provided.
Hundreds of people were present on the Zoom platform, as well as on the Facebook pages and YouTube channel, where the event was broadcast live.
From the perspective of the teachers present, following the experience of the last academic year, most students can receive online or hybrid education openly, taking into account responsibility, support, involvement and collaboration of all actors in the educational process, and this period also brings benefits - the use of technology in education and in the future adaptation-development-innovation.
Continuous support dedicated to students and dvarious creative and effective projects and activities maintaining the passion for education, their involvement and guidance throughout the educational process are essential in the training of generations of specialists and with transferable skills for the labor market.
Together online webinars are organized in collaboration with IEEE Romania, Romanian Alliance of Technical Universities, EDEN Association and The Politehnica University of Timișoara, every week with guests from other universities and schools in Romania.
