Spring 2021 Events
Dan Levy, author of ‘Teaching Effectively with Zoom’ - February 12, 2021 from 1-2:30pm Register
Join us for an interactive demonstration about Dan Levy’s Book 'Teaching Effectively with Zoom'.
The goal of this session is to help educators teach effective live online sessions using Zoom. It offers practical pedagogical advice on questions such as:
- Why and how to use breakout rooms?
- Should you use chat, and if so, how?
- How do you build community in a virtual classroom?
- Why and how to use polling?
The book is based on the author’s own experience teaching online, observations of several colleagues teaching online at Harvard University and elsewhere, research-based principles of effective teaching and learning, tips from the readers of the first edition of the book, and, perhaps just as importantly, interviews with dozens of students who have had to adapt to online learning.

You’ll gain guiding principles for structuring learning in online and blended environments, brief learning activities, and tips for impactful yet not too time-consuming communication with students.
