•   How to scaffold student engagement in a seminar

•   The unique value of an entirely online hybrid seminar

•   How to effectively use the online format—including working with Zoom, using the chat bar, effectively using discussion forums, and so on

•   How to develop an original and challenging, yet level-appropriate and doable, set of materials

•   How to coach students through creating an effective presentation
