The world of online education is growing at an astonishingly rapid pace, making it crucial for educators to stay at the forefront of developments. With so many different ways of working and possibilities available, it is hard to keep track of all possible online methods and how to use them.
As educational experts with 1000+ hours of experience in e-moderation, Elevate believes that e-moderators are part of the new generation of instructors, working online to guide the learner through all these new possibilities, creating a successful and safe learning environment.
How to Moderate your Online Course is an excellent Masterclass for anyone who wants to learn the skills needed to be a great e-moderator. During the online course, you will become familiar with various aspects of e-moderation, such as online socialization, e-moderating techniques (for example summarizing and weaving), how to support novices and how to promote active participation. This course will provide you with an introduction to the field of e-moderation, teach you the basic e-moderating skills, and give you guidance on how to keep developing yourself as an e-moderator. In addition, this is a hands-on course, meaning that after a short introduction to the theory, you will directly get the chance to apply your knowledge. During this course, we will challenge you to rise to the occasion and step into the shoes of the e-moderator yourself.
As part of the Masterclass, we are offering live virtual workshops given by our educational experts. The educational experts of Elevate have over 1000+ hours of experience in e-moderation and can share their knowledge during this workshop. The virtual workshop will be given 4 times a year and you can sign up in the learning environment. The workshop will take around 2 or 3 hours.
