As part of our #AtHome with the British Council programme, we are organising a series of Higher Education dialogues which will help you connect with colleagues from around the world and share your experience.
This week topic was ‘How can universities engage with and motivate students?’
As more and more universities move their teaching online, and with little indication when students may go back to the campus, effective engaging and interacting with current students is becoming a big challenge.
- How do we know if a student is truly participating in the online learning?
- How can we continue to motivate and inspire the future generation?
Watch this engaging session with speakers from all over the world to hear from universities and learn their experiences of connecting with their students, when face-to-face contact has reduced and, in some places, completely stopped.
