Abstract

Research shows the provision of online tutorials help to mitigate the effect of transactional distance and that students’ performance can be improved with active learning. During 2018 I ran a series of workshops at the Open University where attendees investigated ways interactive activities are used in their online teaching and considered how the ideas can be adapted to different disciplines. Ever wondered how an activity used for planning an English literature essay can be adapted to teach Computer Programming or how watching a foreign language video is relevant to mathematical communication? Come along to this session to discover this and more.
