Tip Top Tips Edu - Effective Online Learning - Dr. Sharon Smith

In this episode of the show, I was lucky to have the opportunity to speak with Dr Sharon Smith; educator at Tute Education, researcher and BERA fellowship awardee.  

Sharon has undertaken a number of different pieces of research during her career which explores different ways to deliver effective online learning. She also works at Tute Education, an NTP partner and a BETT award-winning company that have been delivering online learning for many years, so we thought she would make an excellent guest for the show.  

In this episode, the questions I posed to Sharon included: 

What tips would you give to teachers looking to improve their online learning? What did you do in your research around online learning? What can you tell me about your work at Tute? What tips would you give to schools looking to make the most of their NTP funding in using an external provider? Do you have any advice for teachers beyond what you’ve shared already
