THE ONLINE CLASSROOM: STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE VIRTUAL LEARNING
In todayโs educational landscape, effective integration of digital tools and media is vital for university teaching and learning. Educators can enhance their online teaching by:
- Incorporating diverse digital elements
- Making courses more multifaceted
- Engaging students effectively
However, successful online teaching goes beyond just using digital tools and is not a simple copy of face-to-face formats. It requires deep understanding of didactic principles and skillful integration of digital tools with sound pedagogical practices. When done effectively, this integration:
- Enriches the online learning experience
- Helps students develop strategies for lifelong, self-directed learning
Learning goals

- Have the opportunity to explore and experiment with these tools firsthand whenever possible, allowing for immediate application and skill development.
- Develop strategies for integrating digital tools seamlessly into pedagogically sound teaching practices, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.
By the end of the workshop, participants will not only have expanded their theoretical knowledge of online didactics but will also have acquired practical skills and techniques that they can immediately apply in their own teaching contexts.
