Online teaching

When students participate in teaching at the same time as you. Other words used about this, are streaming, live webinar and synchronous teaching. 

• Blackboard Collaborate 
• Zoom 

Video can be used in teaching in many different ways. Students often benefit more from several shorter videos than a longer recording of an entire lecture. Smaller videos are easier to build into a holistic teaching plan and can be used more flexibly afterwards.
