Overview
In Uncommon Sense Teaching: TEACHING ONLINE, we aim to help you adopt innovative approaches to online teaching based on the latest scientific research. Utilizing movie-making insights and unique visual tricks, this course delves into how students learn independently and collaboratively.
Understanding the brain's role in social learning can illuminate why certain online learning methods, such as discussion forums, may be challenging. Neuroscience insights can not only motivate students but also help them transform their identity. Designed for university professors, vocational instructors, K-12 teachers, coaches, business trainers, parents, and anyone teaching online, this course offers valuable tools and strategies for effective online education.
Beyond traditional academic materials, this course is ideal if you're looking to create a course on Udemy, a video series on YouTube, or an educational blog. A key takeaway is that students can sometimes learn better online than in traditional face-to-face settings, whether through synchronous platforms like Zoom or asynchronous materials accessible at any time.
This course can be taken independently from the other "Uncommon Sense Teaching" courses, although it complements them. Previous students will find extended practical insights from neuroscience, while new students will receive foundational knowledge. Join experienced online instructors in a journey to enhance your online teaching abilities.
Our goal is to empower you to elevate teaching and learning to visionary heights.
