Live Online Virtual Engagement

We need to remember that learning and teaching online is not only about creating and sharing assignments online. It's also about human interactions.” Nellie Deutsch, Ed.D

Remote communication is very important in our lives. We can't always be physically available for our students, colleagues, business associates, and our loved ones. 

Live Online Virtual Engagement (LOVE) is an annual 4-week free online course that takes place in August. The aim of the course is to provide you with practical know-how on how to connect and interact with your students, family, business associates, colleagues, and others in a live online class. You will learn how to use ZOOM, MeritHub, GoBrunch, Congrea, Google Meet, Jitsi, and Microsoft Team. 

Dr. Nellie Deutsch will discuss free platforms and tools you can use to engage your audience.
