Digital meetings and active student engagement
One of the most common components within online, distance, and blended courses is the use of videoconferencing to arrange digital meetings. That said, digital meetings have played a relatively minor role at KTH before the COVID-19 pandemic, with a massively increased use the last year as a tool for emergency remote teaching. Despite the opportunity digital meetings provide for engagement and interaction, an extensive application tends to be traditional lecturing where students are passive audiences instead of active co-creators.

Successful Zoom meetings and active learning
In this webinar, Stefan Stenbom will share principles and guidelines for creating and sustaining fruitful digital meetings characterized by active learning in online and blended courses. Theoretically, the presentation is based on a well-researched framework, the Community of Inquiry, that outlines a learning experience with social, teaching, and cognitive presence. The presentation involves designing and organizing meetings, facilitating students learning, and providing instructions in digital meetings.
Topics covered also includes benefits and limitations of combined digital and classroom education (hybrid meetings), possibilities for shared teaching presence, perspectives on recordings of digital meetings, use of webcam, and tool for increased engagement. The webinar also includes a template for practitioners to use when preparing and conducting digital meetings.
