Being open: taking your Library teaching online  

Join us for a webinar on 25th November for an event looking at the way Open University Librarians deliver online teaching, both in live tutorials and authored activities, and how you might adapt our experiences for your own institution. We will be sharing examples from both our live teaching and authored activities. This session is aimed specifically (but certainly not exclusively) at librarians outside an HE context.

Aims of this session

• Give examples of how to make live online teaching more engaging

• Think about the benefits of synchronous vs asynchronous teaching

• Be introduced to examples of asynchronous activities and how we integrate them .
