The document provides tips for effective online teaching. It recommends clearly communicating goals, rules, and expectations to students. Instructors should present content in small, digestible chunks using visual aids to improve comprehension. Engaging students through interactive activities like polls, breakout rooms, and sharing feedback can increase motivation. Instructors are advised to change their pace every 20 minutes to address "Zoom fatigue." Flipping the class by providing pre-work can get students more invested in class discussions. The document also reviews tools available on Zoom like screen sharing, polls, and whiteboards.

Be “very-clear”.
Set goals, rules, expectations...
The online environment demands an additional quote
of expression and emphasys, and detailed guidelines
(to go beyond the basics with words).
Provide specific guidelines:
• Before (Is there material to advance?)
• During the session (how to participate, when they can ask…)
• Afterwards (check the materials, next steps, etc.)

Transmit with expressivity
Show availability
The online environment demands an additional quote
of expression and emphasys, and detailed guidelines (to
go beyond the basics with words).
• Make sure everyone knows how to contact you, in
case they need to ask anything.

8. Content structure
• Look for ways to break down complex
explanations.

Talk and present

Presenting content in smaller chunks makes scanning easier
for users and can improve their ability to comprehend, and
remember it.

10. “Our brains are used to picking up body language and other cues
that are experienced during face-to-face communication -it also
increases dopamine-” (National Ed Association, USA).
Address the Zoom
fatigue:
Try changing the pace
every 20 min (MAX):
an exercise,
breakout rooms, polling,
open-ended questions, etc.

11. Flip the class (a bit)
You can post a question,
send a video, an article, a
problem, before the class.
By checking it, students will join
the class with more than a clue,
having that in mind
Increase the engagement

12. Increase the engagement
• Let students exchange for a few minutes, give and receive feedback
(from you or from their peers)
• Make space in the session to discuss or ask, solve problems, show
results, and other
We are more likely to internalize and learn faster from a challenge
or problem-solving than from listening to an expert
Plan a short
question or task
with shared
documents,
whiteboards, etc.

13. Available Zoom Options
• Screen sharing (also for participants)
• Multiple choice poll (closed answer)
• Breakout rooms (combine with Google drive, and
other shared tools)
• Whiteboard (to sketch)

14. Virtual Campus
• Q&A Forum, participants can ask the experts
• Materials uploaded before the sessions (Google
Drive - contact Valeria)
• You can add complementary references (not
mandatory for students)
• You can also include a solved exercise, examples,
graphics, videos, etc.
