Time: 2:00 – 3:00 PM SAST 

Description:  There is a big gap in how those involved in remote teaching are  engaging and facilitating learners using asynchronous low tech online facilitation.  We need to think beyond content and facilitate and engage learners in spaces such as discussion forums and WhatsApp to scaffold and support peer interaction for better learning outcomes. In this session, we aim to share some practices that can help you to rethink your approach to remote teaching online.
