For this month’s podcast recommendation, we suggest an episode entitled Create Engaging Virtual Environments with Dr. Joanne Ricevuto and Dr. Laura McLaughlin from the Lecture Breakers podcast. This podcast is hosted by Barbi Honeycutt. She is a teaching and learning consultant, instructional coach, author, and speaker. From the Lecture Breakers podcast website, “The Lecture Breakers podcast is the place where educators share innovative teaching strategies to help you break up your lecture, energize your classroom, increase student engagement, and improve learning.”
The episode we suggest for this month is a conversation between Barbi and Drs. Joanne Ricevuto and Laura McLaughlin. They have authored a book entitled Engaging Virtual Environments: Creative Ideas and Online Tools to Promote Student Interaction, Participation, and Active Learning. In the podcast conversation, the book authors discuss ideas and strategies for creating engaging learning environments for both online synchronous type courses as well as fully asynchronous online courses. Their tips are practical and easy to implement! Check it out!
