Slides from the session "Synchronous Strategies for Interactive Live Virtual Class Sessions that Engage Students and Build Community," presented at the Education Beyond Tomorrow: Innovation in Pedagogy and Practice Virtual Conference on April 20, 2016. Session description: For new and experienced online instructors, or those who work with them, this session will give participants a chance to learn concrete activities and strategies that have been experience-tested during synchronous, live virtual class sessions. Participants will come away with something new for their virtual instruction toolkit. Throughout the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to share their own strategies, ask questions, and add to their toolkits of online institutional strategies. This will include the chance to experience innovative uses of chat and polling. The presentation will include a handout of strategies and concrete ideas to take home. This presentation draws from the following book chapter: Marquart, M., Fleming, M., Rosenthal, S., & Hibbert, M. (2016, April). Instructional Strategies for Synchronous Components of Online Courses.
