Tool Parade 2021: An overview of tools for online teaching and learning
In the context of emergency remote teaching, many educators are exposed to tools which can facilitate their work,and students’ learning. In this session, we will sort out and demonstrate a few useful tools for different aspects of the teaching and learning processes.
During this session, Dr. Ola El Zein, Head of Saab Medical Library (AUB) will share an extensive list of the most commonly used online resources and applications based on needs and priorities.
The types of tools that will be discussed include lesson delivery tools, communication tools, assessment tools, knowledge tools, illustration tools, as well as resources for “beautifying” content in teaching and learning.
For each of these categories, several tools will be mentioned depending on the needs of the participant. For example, in the lesson delivery section, we will see tools used for delivering synchronous/asynchronous sessions, discussions, note-taking, digital whiteboards and portfolios, interactive presentations, etc. Similarly, we will be highlighting several resources used for content sharing, online-quizzes and polls, surveys, monitoring and grading, etc.
All these tools and resources are either classified as free or paid ones.
This session aims to hopefully benefit all AMICAL’s faculty members and librarians. It identifies tools that can help enhance the teaching experience of professors and educators, in addition to students’ learning and education.
Who should attend: All AMICAL members are welcome to attend.
