SUMMARY:Cultivating Deep Learning Using Discussion Boards
DESCRIPTION:Asynchronous discussion boards are a common tool used by instructors in online courses. These forums can provide an outlet to foster the interaction and collaboration that are sometimes lacking in an online learning environment. When students are engaged in conversations in these settings\, the asynchronous nature of discussions can provide them with time to reflect on their responses before interacting with their peers in a way that is often not feasible in a face-to-face discussion. In this way\, when it is used well\, the discussion board can offer the ideal blend of reflection and collaboration that promotes the construction of knowledge in an online learning environment.\nHowever\, while its asynchronous nature can have the positive outcome of promoting deliberation\, it can also result in periods of inactivity as students wait for responses from their peers that then leave them scrambling to interact with one another as the discussion deadline draws near. Text-based online discussions have been critiqued for their generally antisocial and impersonal nature. Additionally\, the structure of some types of discussion prompts are not conducive for supporting deep and meaningful conversations. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll begin by reflecting on why the discussion board has become a staple practice within an online learning environment and if it is anathema to suggest abandoning it altogether. We will explore several different structures and ways to classify online discussion prompts and what research suggests that some of those structures are good for and not-so-good for. For example\, which types of discussion prompts are better at encouraging students to exchange ideas? Which are better at facilitating critical thinking? Which seem to be good only at generating lower levels of thinking? We will engage in conversation around ‘What makes a good discussion question?’ before identifying the characteristics that have been shown to be successful at generating engagement and pushing students to think critically. We propose three main structures for effective discussion prompts that will each be examined in greater depth.

SUMMARY:Online Tools for Application of Theory to Clinical Practice for Healthcare Students
DESCRIPTION:This session will discuss and demonstrate application of online tools which support the application of theory to clinical practice for various healthcare education topics.The use of these tools supports delivery of virtual healthcare education as well as experiences which cannot be guaranteed in clinical practice. Additionally these tools facilitate students to deepen and reinforce their learning at a pace which suits their individual needs.

SUMMARY:VIDEO: A tool for teaching and assessment
DESCRIPTION:This online conference brings together university teachers from a wide range of disciplines to share their experiences of using video in their teaching and assessment.  Speakers come from dentistry\, education\, social science\, food science\, engineering\, and nutrition. Some used video in response to the requirement to go off campus during the pandemic while others had already been using video long before that. If you are interested in innovative techniques in teaching or would just like to hear how others have used video\, this conference is for you.
