Converting Classroom Activities to E-Learning #465: Challenge | Recap

Some of the most common questions we get about building e-learning come from teachers moving from traditional classrooms to online teaching. 

Sure, they have the education and teaching background and find today's authoring tools easy enough to learn. However, their bigger challenge is visualizing how they'll recreate the classroom experience in a meaningful online format.

Here are some of the most frequent questions we hear:

  • How can I adapt my classroom teaching strategies to e-learning?
  • How do I overcome the lack of face-to-face interaction?
  • How can I maintain student engagement and accountability?
  • How do I repurpose classroom materials for an online format?
  • How can I effectively assess student performance online?

Whether or not you have a background in classroom teaching, you're looking for ways to build better online training. And that's what this week's challenge is all about.

🏆 Challenge of the Week

This week, you have three options for your challenge demo:

  1. Rework an everyday classroom activity into an e-learning interaction. When you submit your example, include a description or link to the original classroom activity.
  2. Convert any static content (classroom, e-learning, job aid, etc.) into an e-learning interaction. See challenge #424 for more ideas.
  3. Share a tip or technique to help teachers move from traditional classrooms to e-learning. This option can be either static or interactive. See e-learning challenge recap #383 for more ideas.
