Get active! Actively engage students in your (online) course

Do you feel your students are passive and indifferent in class? They don't ask and when you have a question for them, there is either no response or it is just the same few students who talk to you. But most of your students just passively hang in their chairs.

It doesn't have to be this way!

Wouldn't it be awesome if your students actively participated in class? If they thought and worked along, asked questions, exchanged their ideas with others, responded to your questions and -eventually- learned in a better, more motivated and sustainable way?

Who wouldn't want that. But how should that work out - especially in large courses like lectures student activation is impossible, isn't it?

Let me tell you: it IS possible! And not difficult at all.

In this course I show you very simple, yet highly effective methods that basically work in any learning and teaching environment, no matter if a small scale seminar or a large lecture, for in-classroom settings or online instruction. It's easy to activate and motivate your students - once you know how! So, let me show you! I promise there won't be any uber-posh, extra glamorous stuff no-one can really use.

I will not only suggest methods to you but also share didactic knowledge it takes to understand why students are passive in class and which requirements students need to actively work along.

As academically certified didactics expert with many years of extensive teaching experience I show you how this dream of active, motivated students can become YOUR personal teaching reality. No magic, so empty promises.

In various tasks you can transfer the content learned in this course to your own specific teaching situation and use the methods presented in your very next session.

Well, what do you think? Does that sound like an interesting and relevant course for you? If so, welcome! I am excited to be working with you!
