Are you a lecturer, tutor, or educator struggling to engage students in online tutorials?

Here are 5 tips based on my approach: that a tutorial (even online) is NOT a lecture: students should speak more than I do.

How do I make that happen?

Tip 1: I EXPLAIN THE BENEFIT OF SPEAKING

Tip 2: I PROACTIVELY USE THEIR NAMES

Tip 3: I HAVE AN EASY OPENER

Tip 4: I SET EXPECTATIONS AT THE START

Tip 5: I USE MORE THAN ONE OF THEIR SENSES (aka their tools for critical thinking – from my new book #BecomingaCriticalThinker)
