The document provides tips for effective online teaching. It recommends clearly communicating goals, rules, and expectations to students. Instructors should present content in small, digestible chunks using visual aids to improve comprehension. Engaging students through interactive activities like polls, breakout rooms, and sharing feedback can increase motivation. Instructors are advised to change their pace every 20 minutes to address "Zoom fatigue." Flipping the class by providing pre-work can get students more invested in class discussions.

Tips for synch online teaching
Communication Be very-clear. Set goals, rules, expectations... The online environment demands an additional quote of expression and emphasys, and detailed guidelines (to go beyond the basics with words). Provide specific guidelines: Before (Is there material to advance?) During the session (how to participate, when they can ask) Afterwards (check the materials, next steps, etc.)
Communication Transmit with expressivity Show availability The online environment demands an additional quote of expression and emphasys, and detailed guidelines (to go beyond the basics with words). Make sure everyone knows how to contact you, in case they need to ask anything.
Content structure Look for ways to break down complex explanations. Use visual aids: impact with images, graphics, fonts, colors Talk and present in small portions Presenting content in smaller chunks makes scanning easier for users and can improve their ability to comprehend, and remember it. Nielsen Norman Group (UX and Psychology research)
Sharing advice In pairs, discuss briefly (5 min) and answer : Share something you may do to increase the motivation in your online class. You can shortly describe an example, an activity, or a tool you may implement https://www.menti.com/phngo5vhdw
Our brains are used to picking up body language and other cues that are experienced during face-to-face communication -it also increases dopamine- (National Ed Association, USA). Address the Zoom fatigue: Try changing the pace every 20 min (MAX): an exercise, breakout rooms, polling, open-ended questions, etc.
Flip the class (a bit) You can post a question, send a video, an article, a problem, before the class. By checking it, students will join the class with more than a clue, having that in mind Increase the engagement
Increase the engagement Let students exchange for a few minutes, give and receive feedback (from you or from their peers) Make space in the session to discuss or ask, solve problems, show results, and other We are more likely to internalize and learn faster from a challenge or problem-solving than from listening to an expert Plan a short question or task with shared documents, whiteboards, etc.
Available Zoom Options Screen sharing (also for participants) Multiple choice poll (closed answer) Breakout rooms (combine with Google drive, and other shared tools) Whiteboard (to sketch)
Virtual Campus Q&A Forum, participants can ask the experts Materials uploaded before the sessions (Google Drive - contact Valeria) You can add complementary references (not mandatory for students) You can also include a solved exercise, examples, graphics, videos, etc.
