Abstract

Live seminars are an excellent way to engage with students, delve into course content and assignments and address student questions. Over the years, the capability and tools used in live seminar have advanced exponentially. Instructions and students have audio, mic and camera access. Determining how to best use technology to meet instructional goals can be challenging (Brill and Galloway, 2007). Leveraging live seminar resources with skillfully planned lessons can strengthen the student experience (Richardson, York, and Lowenthal, 2014) . This session will discuss new and innovative ways to use live seminars to maximize student engagement. Specific strategies include the use of breakout rooms, screen sharing and “virtual field trips.” Evaluation and seminar grading considerations will also be discussed. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their own innovating seminar strategies and/or new ideas which arise during the presentation. Brill, J. M., & Galloway, C. (2007).
