Esteban Etcheverry: Live Learning: a strategy to improve student engagement
After more than a decade of existence, MOOCs continue to offer great opportunities to add value connecting people and enabling the continuous learning with a world-wide reach. But, beyond all its innovations and advantages, still an extensive number of courses have a significant percentage of dropouts.
One of the strategies to face this dropout challenge is to incorporate live learning sessions which enable a live interaction between students and the instructor and enhance the learning experience. In this talk we'll share best practices, challenges and lessons learned based in our experience.
Round table discussion: How has the COVID-19 situation changed your online learning?
