How can we better support time-constrained educators to help boost student engagement in online learning environments?

This Gasta presentation shares how a recent TEL (Technology-Enhanced Learning) Engagement Series from Maynooth University used microlearning and visual design to help staff build skills and improve their digital teaching practice.

Faced with growing demands on educators and rising expectations from students, we developed a new approach: bite-sized, visual, interactive guides that rethink traditional course design support.

Using Canva and Genially for clarity and interactivity, I created a six-part infographic series, each designed to fit busy schedules while delivering high-impact guidance for course design enhancement.

Each infographic introduced approaches and tools within Moodle and was paired with bite-sized webinars to reinforce implementation. The presentation will explore the creative process behind the project including the specifics of the tools and methods and share key lessons in enhancing supports for staff in Moodle course design.
