APRU Global Health Working Group Webinars: Teaching in Virtual Environments

The Teaching in Virtual Environments webinar series includes three interactive 90-minute sessions organized by the APRU Global Health Working Group on Education and Technology in collaboration with USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health and University of Oregon. Participants will have the opportunity to develop and practice skills, as well as share experiences with other participants in virtual breakout sessions and full group discussions. Join us for this opportunity to learn from our network as we prepare for the fall of online and remote instruction.

 

First Session: Creative Ideas for Online and Remote Assessment

Date & Time:
August 27 at 6 pm (Pacific time)
August 28 at 9am (Hong Kong time)

See the slides here.

 

With remote and online teaching we cannot have the same safe guards for our course exams.  In this session we will hear from APRU teaching experts (Elly Vandegrift, University of Oregon and Victor Hoe, University of Malaya) with some ideas for creating meaningful assessments of student learning that work well in online environments.

Second Session: Authentic Experiential Education

Date & Time:
September 3 at 6 pm (Pacific time)
September 4 at 9am (Hong Kong time)

See the slides here.

Many of our educational program are enriched or dependent on students having experiential education. How do we create those types of learning experiences in remote or virtual settings?  In this session, APRU teaching experts (Elly Vandegrift, University of Oregon and Vivian WY Lee, Chinese University of Hong Kong) will share some of the innovative ways their institutions have developed experiential education for online environments.

Final Session: Building Community in Remote Classrooms

Date & Time:
September 10 at 6 pm (Pacific time)
September 11 at 9am (Hong Kong time)

See the slides here.

Creating a sense of community in our remote classrooms where students and faculty have the same sense of purpose and connection can feel very different in remote teaching in in our physical classrooms.  In this session we will explore some suggestions for building connection with students in online and remote environments with two APRU member teaching experts (Elly Vandegrift, University of Oregon and César Alberto Lucio Ramírez, Tecnológico de Monterrey).  Using the breakout rooms, we will then have time for discussion in small groups and return to the large room for the full group discussion.
