NEW EDEN webinar series: Education in time of a pandemic
How to transfer from classical education to online education during pandemic # covid 19? Where do you begin? How do you manage the process? There are questions that EDEN aims to answer through a new series of weekly webinars, under the slogan #onlinetogether.
#covid19 #onlinetogether
In these times of lockdown due to the Coronavirus COVID-19, face-to-face educational functions and activities are being moved online, using remote working sites and tools. Many of us are struggling with the adjustment to working and teaching online, especially those who have always taught in a traditional classroom and are now being asked to rapidly regroup and prepare for a longer period of educational “social distancing”. Where do you begin? How do you manage the process?
To address these questions and many others, EDEN will be rolling out a series of practical webinars on how to take face-to-face education online. These webinars will start by focussing on the day-to-day challenges our teachers and educators face and move on to consider other, broader institutional aspects.
The current pandemic has accelerated a change from what was already beginning to happen anyway, that of the transition from traditional classroom education to its online equivalent. Given this sudden change, the teachers, instructors and faculty are having to adopt new technology and techniques. In this talk some guidelines are covered to help make decisions about online teaching and helping students in the digital age.
