"When you are lecturing online, learn to be comfortable with silence after asking a question. There is always a silence, because students are worried about talking over each other

 

 
"Always outline the structure of the session at the start with rough timings – participants need to know what they are in for, and when the tea breaks will be."

 

 
"SMILE!"
