Overview

In this fourth webinar of the African Higher Education in Emergencies Network (AHEEN) digital pedagogy series we will pause (take a deep breath), rewind a bit and then see how we can APPLY the knowledge gained so far into our own courses. We will look at Webinars 1, 2 and 3 and find a specific tool/ practical idea that you can start using today to plan and implement your own course.

1. Brilliant basics: Application in this webinar will circle around the creation of an e-portfolio through creating a Google Doc. We will also look at what Google Drive and all its wonderful tools can add to our arsenal of educational technologies to support our quest of creating courses for students in emergency environments towards powerful knowledge.

2. Learn remotely, together: Getting to know our students is one of the critical aims of this webinar and we will see how we can use Google Forms to this end.

3. Creative connectedness, expressive engagement: One of the most valuable teaching approaches in the emergency teaching environment is to have a Humanising (digital) pedagogy. We will explore what this means PRACTICALLY and how you can adapt your own courses to have firm flexibility!
