Take a Peek: "Face & Voice" in Online Senior School
How do you keep students engaged when school takes place online? Not by live lecturing for an hour, that’s for sure!
Using many different tools and platforms, DCB Senior School online learning is a mix of live sessions, recorded lessons, audio and written feedback, 1:1 conversations, group video conference, chats, collaborative activities, individual work, and more so that students can engage with the teachers as well as with each other. There is an emphasis on face and voice, with the teachers keeping a close eye on the progress of each and every student.
Here are some examples of what face and voice looks like in Senior School’s vibrant online community!
