Alexandros Kafkas (Lecturer, School of Biological Sciences)

Alex’s Teaching Excellence Award submission detailed how he has extensively redesigned his lectures for online delivery with the student experience of learning in mind. Alex used Softchalk to create interactive and engaging lectures, using Softchalk’s features to highlight implications, consolidate information and present advanced topics without overwhelming his students. His submission showcased lots of positive feedback from students about how clear and engaging the lectures were, while confirming that he had achieved the right balance of content and activities, which was one of his key concerns when recreating the lectures for an online environment.
