DEN@Viterbi emphasizes student engagement throughout the graduate engineering journey. The online space should not limit students to passive information transfer. Our cyber classrooms foster an environment for active learning.
Many instructors engage with their DEN@Viterbi students during the live class. These courses will deliver lectures via Zoom virtual meetings.
- Instructors can share their presentations directly with meeting participants.
- Distance students can communicate via headset or chat.
Participants can remotely share their presentations with the class.
