Want to know how to deliver the must-know course content to your online students in a way that they are more actively involved with the learning?

Sharing the underpinning knowledge requirements with classes can involve a lot of questions - including some that ask “why do I need to know this??”

Providing the necessary details so that students understand the concepts takes time and patience and unfortunately, in an online environment, the time allocations are usually less than in traditional training situations. 

Plus, it’s no secret that many theory components are often classed as 'dry and boring'. Understandably, many students just want to skip the boring bits and get straight to the 'good stuff'. It can be an added challenge when you're teaching online!

So then, how do we:

  • Ensure students are getting all of the information they need to understand and complete the course?
  • Make the best use of our time online delivering theory?
  • Inject interest and engagement into otherwise ‘boring’ content?


Keeping students engaged while teaching theory can be a treacherous job at the best of times, however, delivering theory online offers lots of interesting possibilities, especially when active learning principles are used.  

In this session, do a stocktake on the ways theory can be delivered using a range of engaging online strategies. Look at how you're delivering theory to online students now, and how to ensure you're passing on the right content in the right quantity and context for maximum impact.


Key outcomes of the session include: 

  • Understanding how to ensure that the right kind and the right amount of theory is being delivered online
  • Using active learning principles to help increase student engagement online when teaching theory
  • Examining what online delivery strategies work best when teaching theory
  • Establishing which online teaching approaches work best for different types of theory topics
