Interactions with Students in a Hybrid/Virtual Teaching Environment: Lessons Learned and Moving Forward
Abstract:
This presentation will cover the selected interactive tools and analyse their effectiveness for engaging students throughout different stages of learning of the two Chinese law courses that I have taught since the beginning of the pandemic. The two Chinese law courses are contract law and energy law, both of which are part of our LLM programmes. Due to the fact that students’ preexisting knowledge of the subject matters varies significantly between these two courses, I have chosen relatively different methods to facilitate in-class interactions. The presentation will report on what I have learned from these experiences and shed some light on the plans moving forward in the future.
