Abstract:
The use of online platform to conduct teaching and learning activities has becoming a new norm for teachers and students during this COVID-19 outbreak. In this commentary, we share our experiences of using online conferencing platform to promote active and interactive learning among students. We also suggest approaches that teachers can use to design their teaching and learning activities by employing reciprocal teaching as a way to engage students online instead of using the platform for didactic teaching by the teacher. The proposed strategy is applicable and transferable to other domains.
