Engaging and informative.The animated video broke up the written sections which worked well for me.

Made me rethink some things on task-setting as well as how this could be combined with VLE and the flipped classroom concept.

I have bee using virtual online teaching since March 2020, whilst this was an interesting little module, I didn't learn anything I didn't know.
I did like the info graphics and the way in which it was presented.

Everything I needed to know about Collaborative learning basics was in this module.

Very handy

Wow very quick and simple with instructions all the way through

useful information, reinforces the benefits of what we are doing

it was interesting for me to assess the way in which synchronised learning online can actually be more effective than face to face teaching in the classroom. I have always thought face to face is better but there are certainly classroom activities that benefit from being delivered in this way.

It goes a brief overview of how synchronous virtual teaching can be used. I am interested in building on this further

Nice and short - and to the point. I'm working through the modules, so I don't miss anything but felt this was covering old ground. Understand that everyone has a different starting point, though, so can see its use.

Good

Good module

very useful

this was a tricky one

This module identifies the benefits of teaching and learning when learners can not physically make a session.

Good ideas and basic understanding of the role the collaborative online elearning can play.

A simple intro for inexperienced staff or users

Really useful information

Thanks - good ideas provided.

Well created bite size module that highlights the key benefits of synchronous teaching /learning.

Good details - made me think

I was interested in how I could use this as an additional to my usual classes.

The assessment at the end is not clear about who is answering a question, etc.

Neat little reminders about collaboration using digital sources. Resource links are useful.

The answers were very subjective as engagement is a very wide term for a lot of online learning!

Very Useful.

Makes total sense. I just get so confused by so many different options -

Makes a lot of sense.

Some interesting elements

Questions unclear as to whether applied to teacher or learners when deciding on choice of assessment, engagement or neither.

More challenging than previous units.

This is an excellent module which shows you the different ways and techniques to ensure learners are still fully engaged whether the are in the classroom or this is conducted through technology.

Good

Great introduction piece for synchronised learning. Particularly useful in an age of online learning.

Very useful links for Tutors to learn how to use MS Teams etc for teaching purposes

Great information and resources but the activity is ambiguous but you can't get it 'right' unless you have exactly what it expects.

Some good ideas raised but not really relevant for my learners.

Synchronous collaboration with tech. is a great way to allow equality of access for all learners.

I enjoyed watching the video and engaging with the exercise but the resources provide me with more opportunities to learn about online teaching and I will use this to plan my first online course. I look forward to learning about Skype, Google, Zoom, Teams, etc.

I found it thought-provoking especially when thinking about the difference between learner engagement and assessment

Very useful in getting learners and teachers to engage and share ideas, as well as learn.

All the examples are webconference Hangouts, Team, Skype etc. It is also possible to have synchronous learning through things such as Comments in Google Docs or WHiteboards such as JamBoard.

Good, but nothing new from this Module.

Interesting ideas and I liked the list of resources.
