Managing Discussions in Online Classes

Teaching discussion online requires considerations including securing maximum student-student interaction time, teachers’ effective monitoring, and students’ self-monitoring. In this workshop, the audience will first learn how some teachers have overcome the above challenges posed by the pandemic. Then, they will experience a discussion lesson from students’ and teachers’ points of view, monitoring use of discussion skills in small-group interactions. Recommended especially for teachers with less experience teaching discussion in university and high school settings.
