Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

There are several approaches you can implement to help overcome the initial feeling of isolation and ‘is there anyone out there?’ when teaching online. One way to surmount the potential silence of an online classroom is to get students to collaborate, either with the whole class or in smaller groups. Careful planning and implementation of collaborative activities will encourage student engagement in the class.
