Re: ScreenShare - in sharing portion of screen - will I, as instructor be able to see the rest of my desktop - ie i'll want notes and links to websites I'll want to link to during my session?

I plan to use poll questions since I have a lecture course

surveys/questions

I was also planning to use some polling features.

I like using polls as well.

Ways to engage; Ask students to share an example/illustration of issue , subject you are referring to -

In the literature course I'm teaching, I'll ask students to mention specific passages, with page number, that they're interested in discussing.

Ice Breakers or a team building exercise

Ask students for their own observations about pictures I show them

Writing prompts followed by pair shares followed by group discussion.

Come to class with a question in mind. What, in general, is this poem about. Does it leave you with any questions? If so, what are the Questions?

I have a question about break-outs. My class will be primarily lecture and Q&A but I also plan to have some case studies and would really like to use break-out rooms at some point in my class.

I’m planning on using break-out rooms where groups will come back to share their discussions with the larger class

Ill offer time at the conclusion of each lecture for questions and thoughts

Thoughts on ideal length for short in-class assignment - Is 5 minutes too long?

I found when teaching live that people wanted me to prompt for questions at least several times. I do realize that when in Zoom that questions are more of a break. Do too many Q&A breaks become disruptive?

Do the moderators have OLLI training?

Do instructors every hold something like office hours or an opportunity for participants to ask questions in between the formal class sessions?

Pat- Alan Teasley likes to tell the class how many times he will pause for questions during the class. He does them randomly throughout the class. Not at set times intervals.

Can you clarify what happens at the rehearsal?

OK this slide is answering my question thanks!

Very helpful session thanks Howard!

Thank you, Howard!
