With online lessons, we distinguish between video-conferencing platforms and visualization tools.

• serve the purpose of basic contact in an online lesson so that the teacher and their student(s) can see (camera) and hear (mic) one another

• if a client requires a specific platform, the students are responsible for creating the link

• if a client doesn't have any requests regarding a specific platform, the teacher sends a link to the platform of their preference

*EDUA Group has MS Teams licence as one of teacher bonuses if they teach 10 x 45-minute lessons a week (or more). If you're interested in obtaining a licence, please email us at teacher.hr@eduagroup.cz - you'll receive the licence. You'll then activate it following these steps.

• we use them both for preparing materials (in the same way we use a textbook and handouts in F2F lessons) and as a whiteboard for ad hoc visualization, error correction and notes re vocabulary

• we can use them to write, draw, underline, colour-code etc.

• they enable us to work in an interactive manner, i.e. the teacher and their student(s) work together, the teacher gives feedback and, last but not least, the materials promote S-S engagement (the students can fill in gaps together, do matching excercises or play games...)

• using the tools listed below, you can prepare a complex material without the need for any additional teaching applications (that usually help with student activation)
