Synchronous Teaching Academy

Participants should be confident using Canvas

To meet the needs of our learners as well as comply with “social distancing” guidelines, FGCU administrators have suggested the creation and delivery of synchronous online courses as one of many delivery options for course delivery. The purpose of a synchronous course is to take advantage of the best features of face-to-face learning while learning at a distance.

Objectives

The Synchronous Teaching Academy (STA) is a three-week 100% asynchronous training where faculty who are interested in using the synchronous delivery mode will:

• Identify the conceptual framework elements of synchronous teaching
• Know the pros and cons of the synchronous delivery format
• Plan engaging, active learning course content and activities for synchronous learning
• Effectively utilize appropriate technologies for synchronous teaching

Schedule: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 - Monday, December 21, 2020

Faculty should expect to spend approximately 3-4 hours per week completing this academy.
