LIVE V I R T U A L S U M M I T  www.qatarsummits.com • As we reflect on the events of the last year, Richard will explore how we can revision the future of education to meet the challenges that will face us all, especially our children. He will cover concepts including; • How we can better cope with change & uncertainty. • What the future may hold & what we can do to educate our children for it. • The importance of resilience. • How technology can support the new vision. • Why we must focus on the development of the whole child. Tomorrow Belongs to those who Prepare for it. Richard Gerver 09:00-09:30 The rapid switch to 'emergency remote learning' during the COVID-19 pandemic found many instructors and educational institutions unprepared for a fully digital learning experience. Some of the well-known barriers that were encountered included lack of teacher preparation and training, digital divide (lack of broadband and adequate devices in the less wealthy Middle East countries) and the lack of customized learning objects. Another serious issue that arose was online student engagement - how could educators and school systems insure that students were attending classes, completing tasks, were motivated to engage with the course content, and were able to communicate effectively with classmates and the instructor? Based on research carried out by VCUQ and WCMCQ including nation-wide focus groups in Qatar, this talk explains the key dimensions of online student engagement in the region. It also presents best practices for encouraging student engagement in online learning environments within the Gulf cultural context.
