How to improve face-to-face teaching with a Sclipo Online Campus

Sclipo Online Campuses, just like online campuses of Universities, are mostly used to support face-to-face teaching. In fact, we built Sclipo with face-to-face in mind. We saw the success of University online campuses (every University has one), and aimed to provide a solution for teachers in face-to-face continuing education, yet more simple and with specific features adapted to their needs.

If you are a face-to-face teacher, and wonder how a Sclipo Online Campus can enhance your teaching activities, here are 5 ways to do so.

1. Share content: Add the presentation, document, video or any other type of content of your face2face class to the Library of your Sclipo Campus. Now your students can easily find and review content after the class, and they can also post questions about and comment it. This is more efficient than printing or sending content by email, and the comments allow you to follow up with students and improve your content. And, don’t forget: content is King – a Library full of good content is your best promotion. (more info about the Library app → )
2. Manage your face-to-face courses: For each face-to-face course you can set up a Course in your Online Campus. Only your face-to-face students have access to it. After the class, you and students can log into the course and share updates, add content, post questions, conduct knowledge checks, check assignments and more. You can also send private messages to and administer your face-to-face students. (more info about the Courses app →)
3. Connect with your face-to-face students: Your Sclipo Online Campus comes with its own Social Network. It provides great tools to foster and build a long term relationship with your face-to-face students, such as Online Groups, Friendships, Events and more. (more info about the Social Network apps →)
4. Offer live tutoring sessions through your web conferencing system: Every Sclipo Campus integrates a virtual classroom web conferencing system with live video, audio, whiteboard, desktop-sharing and more. Use it to complement face-to-face classes. For example, you can offer additional tutoring and special Q&A sessions from the comfort of your home. (more info about the Virtual Classroom app →)
5. Promote and sell your face-to-face courses: Are you looking for more face-to-face students? You can post your Courses in the Classifieds of your Sclipo Campus just like you can post them in a generic, stand-alone classifieds. The advantage of your Sclipo Campus Classifieds is that prospective students can find much more than just course descriptions. They can explore your whole Campus, its services, content, teachers and students. This is much richer information than that of a stand-alone classifieds and helps to convince people to become a student. And they can also buy your courses directly from your Campus.

This said, a Sclipo Campus is extremely flexible, and adapts to any kind of teaching method: face-to-face, online and blended. So, once you have boosted your face-to-face teaching with your Sclipo Online Campus, you can easily expand your offering with online-only educational services.

I hope these recommendations were helpful. We are looking forward to your comments and feedback, here and at our Online Campus on Sclipo.
