Remote and hybrid teaching presents faculty with both challenges and opportunities. At some point, faculty teaching classes on campus may find themselves in a position to need to facilitate incorporating students to participate remotely, perhaps with short notice. In doing so, replicating the classroom environment may be tricky but integrating students intentionally and effectively is definitely possible! The key is to get students involved in taking responsibility for their shared learning environment; faculty can't do it all. There are going to be new things coming at all of us and we will have to work together. Asking students to take roles to support the learning environment can promote agency in their learning. Below are some tips that the Digital Learning Team has assembled to offer strategies to leverage our technology resources.
General considerations, tools, and tips to help manage students in multiple locations
Ask/Assign students to assist with class management and have them take turns:
monitoring the Zoom or Canvas chat for remote contributions
watching for "
raised hands
" in Zoom
watching the teaching process to check for audio or visual needs (ie, are you or other students forgetting to step up to the webcam?) See
audio
and
webcam
connection tips
bringing a remote student to the face-to-face class by opening up Zoom on their laptop and placing it nearby
Portable tabletop tripods and stands are available for borrowing from the Help Desk as you may find you prefer to have a remote student on-screen via a mobile device
Zoom in the face-to-face classroom can be done; however, multiple students in the same room in the same meetings can cause microphones and sound to interfere with each other. Consider utilizing additional space, or asking students to bring headphones with built-in microphones.
Designate a space for students to ask questions between sessions that can be addressed in later videos/Zoom sessions/office hours. Canvas and
Box Notes
are both great for this purpose.
Sharing physical and digital resources with students
Leverage
screen sharing in Zoom
- this includes but is not limited to sharing your browser, PowerPoint, or
"document" cameras for scribing
Store digitized materials in your Canvas site for ongoing access and review by students at their convenience
Aim the web camera at a blackboard or whiteboard
Share recordings of in person sessions via Canvas
Create a detailed
Canvas homepage or other central location
with relevant links and clear expectations of what technology/service will be used, and when
Facilitating participation for all students
Utilize the
webcam mic
to capture student participation
Depending upon room and class size, face-to-face students may need to be advised to approach the webcam mic to contribute to discussion
All assigned classrooms will have webcams
Developing a routine of repeating back all student questions can also help
Multiple chat options are available: both
Zoom
and
Canvas
have chat tools.
Consider synchronous note taking - using
Box Notes
for quick collaboration among multiple participants is a great example
Box Notes
could be launched daily to encourage student contributions - recommend asking students to put their first name in parenthesis to indicate accountability
Conducting assessments and checking student understanding in the hybrid environment
Use a polling/assessment tool such as
Canvas quizzes
or
Baseline SRS
to do a mid-class check-in
Consider using
Box Notes
or chat features (
Zoom
,
Canvas
) for opening engagement questions or closing KWL checks on understanding
Setup a Box folder
or a space in Canvas (
built in recording functionality
) where students can upload quick responses to unit objectives - depending on technology available, these could be typed, audio (recorded with phones or
Audacity
), or video (
Zoom
,
QuickTime
) based
