Webinar: Online library instruction: Best practices for live synchronous teaching

A priced webinar from ACRL on 12 April 2022 at 2pm-3pm US Eastern time (which is, e.g. 7pm-8pm UK time) is Online library instruction: Best practices for live synchronous teaching. The tutor is Jason Puckett (Online Learning Librarian and Associate Professor at Georgia State University Library in Atlanta, Georgia, USA).
"Synchronous online library instruction -- classes delivered live via Zoom, Webex, or other conferencing platforms -- have become much more common in the past year, but most of us never learned in library school how to approach this teaching format. This session will help your live online classes become a little less nerve-wracking: learn how to take advantage of the live online classroom environment, discuss some advantages and limitations compared to the in-person classroom, and how to make the most of your time with students." It will cover: Advantages and disadvantages of synchronous online instruction; Moving from the classroom to the videoconference; Essential core competencies for online teachers.
Cost is: ACRL member: US $50; ALA member: $71; Nonmember: $79.
