It’s a university more or less completely based on cloud based learning....I love, that i am very flexible in how i study and when i study. I also enjoy that i can study and read for myself. ...But i really miss talking about the subjects with other students. - What were your general impressions about online learning in the teacher education program in the past year ? --- ### What makes an effective seminar also makes a great webinar - have "coffee break" for social talk - every participant work together to achieve a shared goal (with Google Doc or other cloud-based tools) - have variety of activities - check in and wrap up - what do you think it's important for an engaging online seminar? --- ### Cloud-based but without videos - requires less technology, but still engaging - useful also for leaners who prefer textual, asynchronous discussion --- ### Example 1 Have you taking margin notes on your books before? --- ### Why do you annotate? - highlight important points - comment your own ideas - raise questions - ... - but not for social communication, right? --- ### Cloud-based annotation - [Collaborative and social annotation](https://web.hypothes.is/education/) - teacher can post questions directly along the text - students can discuss with each other instantly while they read - works for other medium too - facilitate knowledge comprehension, tansmission, communication and even creation --- ## Demo with this slide! --- ### Example 2 - [learning on social media](https://twitter.com/eric_richter_/status/1518408194413891585) <!-- --- --> <!-- ### Looking back... --> <!-- --- --> <!-- ### Multi-Media Learning --> <!-- What’s the unique advantage of each medium? --> <!-- --- --> <!-- ### Game-Based Learning --> <!-- What can we learn from the game designs? --> <!-- --- --> <!-- ### Embodied Learning with AR/VR --> <!-- What does immersion in a virtual environment feels like?
