Workshop

Teaching Rebooted: Strategies for Facilitating Virtual Learning through a Pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic has presented us with numerous challenges, including rethinking where and how our learners will acquire essential competencies. In many cases, we will have to think about how to create meaningful, engaging, and effective virtual learning experiences. This practical workshop will allow participants to explore various strategies for facilitating synchronous and asynchronous virtual learning. Common challenges such as how to adapt existing teaching and learning experiences, engage learners, teach clinical skills, and create e-learning resources will be explored, with practical examples and strategies offered. Key principles and concepts from education theory will be highlighted.

Following an interactive large group presentation, participants will have the opportunity to practice adapting existing materials or creating new e-learning resources using small group case-based learning. Small group discussions will allow for the sharing of strategies, successes and challenges around virtual teaching and learning.

Medical Educators across the continuum and encouraged to attend. If this workshop is held in person, participants are encouraged to bring a mobile device.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe principles and concepts that can inform an approach to adapting to a virtual learning environment 2. Apply these principles and concepts in adapting curricular materials to engage learners, when teaching clinical skills, and creating e-learning resources 3. Share strategies, successes and challenges around teaching and learning online with participants from different contexts
