9. Engaging learners –
What do you need to do?
Have learners draw on their previous learning;
Use latest research findings, professional examples and interesting scenarios to take learners
beyond the textbook;
Include periods of reflection for learners to work alone and solve problems;
Give them a quick quiz and ask them to explain their answers a colleague before supplying them
with the correct responses;
Ask them to brainstorm examples of real‐life situations;
Ask them to role‐play a scenario in pairs;
Ask them to define or explain a concept to their neighbour;
Ask them to construct a mind‐map showing the links between ideas.
Take one minute to summarise the main ideas in the lesson or unit;
Write questions about concepts that are still unclear.

10. 3 examples of learning platforms
Blackboard Lite - coursesites
Canvas
Google sites
11. Blackboard Lite
Academic in scope and functionality even in the lite
version – free
Once you understand how the development process
works, it is straightforward
A more complex learning management system with
greater functionality
20. Canvas
A learning management system that is in many
schools but also has a free/lite version for the K-12
community
Less complex in look and feel as it is mainly used for
learners
22. Google sites
Easy to use and has templates that can be edited for
your purpose
This is not a learning management system so any
interactivity etc must be built into it
