 Hello everyone in this video, I'll be sharing how we can increase to the engagement in an online teaching environment I know it's not easy, but I hope these tips can help you to improve to the engagement in your online teaching journey The first tip is to establish teaching presence. I think this is very crucial In fact, a lot of lecturers or educators tend to assume The teaching presence that they have in a face-to-face mode is automatically activated when they go online Unfortunately, it's not. In a normal face-to-face mode, teaching presence is established by having you standing in front The student facing you, you're in control of the classroom setting and that presence is felt In an online mode, however, everyone seems to be equal In fact, you might be thinking that I'm a student if you just look at me from a webcam view in an online class For example, so how do you establish teaching presence in an online environment first you have to establish that You are in control of the online setting means you have to be very comfortable of the tool that you've chosen and Be very comfortable of the content that you want to deliver online For example, if you're using certain software to do live class like this You yourself have to be comfortable first the moment you go online and you start to be fumbling and clicking here and there Your teaching presence will drop and the student will start to be losing interest in Continuing the sessions so make yourself ready and comfortable with the tools and content that you want to deliver online so that you can increase the teaching presence and your your ability to deliver the teaching will get even more More effective or better The second tip is to focus on your MVP your most valuable Points, I'm not saying that you just put that in point form. I'm trying to tell you that Throughout your content there should be the key things that you want them to focus on You want your student to focus on so try your best to make sure that the moment you go online You focus on these valuable parts rather than going to slide one until the last slide for one to three hours I mean, that's going to kill the interest to sustain them for so long so try your best to Chunk your content well and focus on the valuable points In fact, for example, you can put the slides up first let them have quick go through and then when you engage them online like this Through an online direct teaching mode, then you can deal with the questions that they want to ask you The third tip is to make sure that your teaching delivery is activities driven focus more on the Activity so you can have your content for 20 minutes and then activities 20 minutes and theories Sometimes when you have a lot of the activities the student Did not even realize that they have spent more than two or three hours sometimes because there's so many activities and it keeps them engaged So but of course, I'm not asking you to do for so long just that Activities just like in face-to-face mode are very useful and encouraging your learners to be more engaged So make use of the available tools online. There's so many tools online You can refer to the link that I'm giving you down here for some sample, but What matters is not about what you cover, you know, it's more on what you uncover let the learning happen by Using more activities. Don't be too worried about. Okay, can I cover the whole unit? And I know like 80 slides. How do I cover them focus on the activities that will make it more meaningful? All right, those are the three tips that I can offer you Again, it's not an exhaustive Tips you have so many other references But these are the three main tips that I can offer you based on my own experience teaching online at the same time You know based on my reading as well So hopefully it will help you to kickstart your online teaching Mode or kickstart your online teaching experience If you have any comments or question you can ask me down here in the comment box and I'll be more than happy to assist you Thank you very much
