Online Workshops, Breakout Rooms, Active MethodologiesAbstract
The urgent need for online instruction, especially motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, forced professionals worldwide to rush into adapting to online meeting tools. The application of active methodologies based on human-centered learning holds potential to ensure more interaction and engagement during online learning sessions. This workshop model, originally aimed to train Brazilian English language teachers, can be easily adapted to other scenarios. Its design and development followed principles and theories including learner-centered instructional design, online education, and evaluation processes for online instruction. This proposal focuses on implementing active methodologies via collaborative problem-solving tasks at various stages to support and build participants’ confidence in using breakout rooms. When appropriately used, breakout rooms can enable the implementation of active methodologies, enhancing participants’ interactions in online settings.Online Workshops
