It’s easy to fall into lecture mode — not because you’re doing it “wrong”, but because it feels efficient when time is tight, everything is online, and the needs of the groups are diverse. The problem is, lecture-heavy sessions often create learners who look quiet and compliant, but aren’t genuinely engaged.

If you’ve fallen into the lecture habit, you’ll probably recognise a few of these online classroom realities:

Learners are bored, passive, or hard to motivate — you're lucky if they have their videos on, but even then, they're just staring back at you and it all feels very awkward.
You ask questions, but get crickets (and/or blank stares or blacked out videos).
Participation (if any) comes from the same few people while others switch off, distract themselves (or others), or disappear into multitasking.
You’re tired of delivering a one way lecture, but you’re also short on time to redesign everything.
You know engagement matters — and with the updated AQF Standards now requiring you to provide evidence, it’s increasingly important to be able to show how you’re engaging learners, not just hope it’s happening.

This workshop provides a range of demonstrated activities that will help you get your learners thinking, discussing and out of their passive online learning habits - while collaborating, communicating and problem solving their way through your lessons.
