As online learning continues to expand, ensuring high-quality instruction and strong educator support remains a priority. Virtual classroom walkthroughs provide a structured approach to observing, assessing, and improving digital teaching practices. When done effectively, these walkthroughs foster professional growth, instructional quality assurance, and meaningful connections between educators and learners. However, many institutions struggle to adapt traditional observation models to online settings, missing opportunities for real-time support and improvement. This session will explore how virtual walkthroughs can be transformative tools for providing feedback, enhancing engagement, and supporting ongoing professional development in digital learning environments.
Learning Objectives:
Identify key components of effective virtual classroom walkthroughs that promote instructional quality and professional growth.
Apply strategies to adapt traditional observation models into online settings to provide meaningful feedback and support for educators.
