During the period of quarantine and confinement, many universities and high schools closed their rooms and asked teachers to do their lectures and exercises online.
How can we avoid simple lectures, interest students and allow them to participate more actively?
Thank you for your answers and suggestions.
I teach math at University of Mostar, which developed clear guidelines regarding on-line teaching. We will try to switch most of our traditional teaching in next period to our SUMARUM LMS (Moodle) with support of some other tools, for example Google Meet or Hangouts Meet app (Android)...

During current period the mostly relevant way to organize online learning is to deliver learning materials through online platforms and evaluate study progress by online tutoring sessions.

Below is a list of educational applications and platforms to help parents, teachers, schools and school systems facilitate student learning and provide social caring and interaction during periods of school closure. While these solutions do not carry UNESCO’s explicit endorsement, they tend to have a wide reach, a strong user-base and evidence of impact. Most of the solutions are free and several support for multiple languages. https://en.unesco.org/themes/education-emergencies/coronavirus-school-closures/solutions
At the University of Padova we are using a combination of Moodle, Kaltura, Zoom, WooClap
I think we should take it easy. Most teachers, students and parents are not prepared to deal with this educational modality. We need to plan engaging and quality activities, but without wanting to follow the same pace as in-person classes. The goal should be not to paralyze students' learning experiences, but to maintain their contact with meaningful content and activities. Losses will be inevitable but minimizing them is possible with planning and dedication. Technologies are very welcome right now but they don't guarantee nothing. Here at the State University of Montes Claros (Minas Gerais / Brazil) we use Moodle and Classroom, combined with OBS and AcitivePresenter for video lessons.
Our University in cooperation with Croatian Academic and Research Network working intensively on including most of primary schools in our Counties into digital learning platform.
