- Make sure the instructions are clear when setting up the asynchronous activity - Get the students to complete the activity - - - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Allow anonymous questions - Use of online chat while learning (e.g. Discord) - Putting the activity in context - - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Enter your responses here. - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - #### Group 2 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Enter your responses here. - Cutting and adapting material to accommodate the slower interaction - weaker students might not keep up - - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Enter your responses here. - Questionnaire ahead of time for the students to look at and locate answers in the lecture - - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Enter your responses here. - It reaches better a diverse audience - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - pre- recorded and written n otes ahead of time of the live lecture will give a weak student the time to fill the gaps, and a competent student the time to enrich his knowlenge at a deeper level. #### Group 3 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Stressful! - Pressure to have perfect content and present as good as possible - writing on whiteboard is dificult if you do not have a proper camera setup - audio not being recorded - assessing interactivity levels while doing group work (live delivery vs synchronous online) - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - pause and record, keep notes - use ipad and stylus - test video (check audio and image quality) - popping in/out of breakout rooms (live delivery vs synchronous online) - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - more questions on online platforms due anonymity vs in person questions - can ask students to share their screens and show the code they wrote - online collaborative activities - potentially reaching out to more students - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - #### Group 4 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Enter your responses here. - Making sure there was enough interaction, which is harder to replicate online - Miss a lo feedback fomr the learners, in the psychological sense - I miss the sticky notes!! - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Paired programming in breakout rooms (though doesn't suit everyone) - Keep breakout rooms with the same people along the lesson(s). - Sticky notes: raise hands or similar in zoom etc., but it doesn't work too well. - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - You can adapt. - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Carefully plan the online feedback (pollls, quizzes,...) - Plan on how and when are you going to use the whiteboard. Try beforhand! - #### Group 5 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Missing human interaction. - Engaging students as online lectures weren't as effective. - learner's self-discipline in asynchronous delivery - in live delivery get immediate feedback - technical issues may come out in live delivery - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Enter your responses here. - Using videos, Zoom polls, more tutorials. - Blended learning - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Enter your responses here. - Different methods are more effective for different activities. For example, I found it better to teach content through videos but have support sessions and tutorials live. - - asynchronous learning allows more flexibility (e.g. Pandamic) - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - creative and interactive lecture,refreshing content to help the audience making the leap to the new material. Also, guidelines that specify how learners can connect with the course instructor and an FAQ/support possibility. #### Group 6 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Live teaching is more interactive so one challenge is how to make online more interactive for students. - How students are following the material and where they may be struggling - Montitoring student engagement - Assess students informally through questions - Less knowledge about student level of understanding - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Break out problem solving - Formative questions in the chat - Flipped model for online - Whole group program solving - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Better for the students, more informative, more engaging - More interesting for us when we know students are engaged - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - #### Group 7 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? -Difficult to engage with students. Many like to keep cameras off and not speak up - - - - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Keeping alert to which students are not engaging - - - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? -Makes the lessons accessible for many students limited in ability to attend in person - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - #### Group 8 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Need students to be committed to watch off-line videos - Digital poverty - students not having stable Internet connection - In a live hybrid situation, manage learning activities with both groups - - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - In a hybrid situation, was to divid the timw up between diffwerent groups. - With videos having short questions, leaders board, formative assessment - - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Enter your responses here. - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - #### Group 9 *Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.* - What challenges have you faced when designing learning for live delivery vs. asynchronous delivery? - Enter your responses here. - - - - - What strategies, if any, have you implemented to overcome these challenges? - Enter your responses here. - - - - What are the benefits of having different modes of lesson delivery? - Enter your responses here. - - - - Using a lesson that you have recently taught (or plan to teach), what design and delivery considerations could you make to ensure the lesson accommodates your learners varied needs? - Enter your responses here. - ### Reflections and Q&A If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel very free to contribute these below: ### Useful Links: - [Paper: Hybrid flexible (HyFlex) seminar delivery – A technical overview of the implementation](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360132322002438) - [Paper:Hybrid flexible (HyFlex) teaching and learning: climbing the mountain of implementation challenges for synchronous online and face-to-face seminars during a pandemic](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10984-022-09408-y) - -
