Have you ever considered teaching your course without having to go to class? No, we are not suggesting that you shirk your teaching responsibilities! Rather, we would like to introduce the live virtual classroom, a form of e-learning in which students and instructors are online at the same time. In the virtual classroom, faculty can interact directly with students (yes, you can hold class discussions online), have students work in groups for part of the class session, show visuals and documents to students (like PowerPoint slides) and even work through problems. This workshop is an introduction to teaching in the live virtual classroom and to Adobe Connect, the software used at Concordia. Together we will examine the purpose of the live virtual classroom, look at its different uses, explore techniques for effectively teaching in the live virtual classroom, and determine how it can be incorporated into existing courses.
