How do I activate students after the live contact?

Practical Assignments

Practical assignments, either individually or in groups, graded or as homework, strengthen the understanding of literature and theory

• Have students work simultaneously in a document with Google Docs or Microsoft Teams

Best Practices

For practical assignments we don’t have a best practice yet. Do you have a good tip for your colleagues? Let us know via tlc-eb@uva.nl.

Suggestions

• Use the theory and content from before and during the live moment of contact as basis for the practical assignments

Concluding Discussions

In Canvas you can use discussion boards to facilitate discussions between students and allow students to ask questions. Post a statement or open question on a discussion board and allow all students to rate it and possibly respond to each other.

Best Practice

We do not yet have a best practice for closing discussions. Do you have a good tip for your colleagues? Let us know at tlc-eb@uva.nl.

Suggestions

• Use the theory and content from before and during the live moment of contact as basis for the proposition or question on the discussion board

Concluding Formative Assessment

Formative assessment gives the teacher the opportunity to give feedback to the students. This enables the students to become part of the learning environment and to develop a self-assessment strategy that helps them understand their own thinking. Create an end of the week quiz in Canvas with 5-10 MC questions that cover all the material discussed during the week.
