Big Blue Button: Helping Online Courses Come Alive

Presenter: Shawn McIntosh, English/Communications (MCLA)

Room: Murdock 216

Description: Having synchronous live sessions in online courses is a great way to help students online feel more like an actual classroom. An interactive lecture that includes answering questions on chat and having students answer poll questions through have been popular with my students in past courses. I will discuss how I conduct these sessions, the strengths and weaknesses of Big Blue Button in Canvas, and provide tips on making these sessions engaging.
