Do you want your online students to develop effective problem-solving skills? Construct extensive and flexible knowledge in your discipline?? Develop self-directed, lifelong learning skills? Become excellent collaborators? Become intrinsically motivated to learn? This workshop will introduce online tools and strategies to facilitate problem-based learning (PBL), inquiry-based learning (IBL), and scenario-based learning (SBL) approaches to help you achieve these goals in your online teaching. We will review online course design principles to promote student-centred and ill-structured learning activities, and explore practical teaching strategies to motivate students to learn effectively online.

Online learning experts argue that the key to success in building an online course rests not with the content that is being presented, but in the engaging learning activities that are built in. How can instructors and students fulfill new roles in the online environment, where instructors move away from being a “sage on the stage” delivering lectures to become a “guide on the side” facilitating more self-directed learning and collaboration? This workshop provides an overview of components necessary for engaged online learning as well as a framework for building the trust and independence needed to interact and learn in their new roles online. It also discusses how to convert your current classroom learning activities to the online classroom and how to choose the appropriate technology tool. Participants will have an opportunity to experience examples of activities that build online engagement at each phase.
