Thinking about how to best combine on-line and on campus teaching.
When reopening the campus for teaching in September 2020, we are developing a teaching model that meets the following priorities:
Reducing the risk of infection and transmission (fewer people on campus and public transport, smaller groups, adhering to the best practice guidelines for reducing infection etc.)
Enabling as many students as possible access to campus for interaction with teachers, assistants, labs, equipment and other resources
Maximising the quality of the ‘at distance’ learning experience of any student who is not on campus
Ensuring that teachers and students who are at-risk can continue to teach and study
Enabling flexibility so that teaching can be adapted if necessitated by either a reintroduction or a reduction of restrictions.
Moving your exercise sessions from on-campus to partly online involves planning, reviewing instructions & feedback, and creating opportunities for interaction.
Projects are the hands-on ingredient of many courses and it’s often students’ favorite activity. In addition, group projects may mix students from different sections and with diverse skills.
— Learn how to setup automatic recording in the main auditorium so that students can follow in an overflow room. There is a 2-3 minute delay between the live and the retransmission. We recommend some tools to handle Q&A.
— Learn how to Record lectures is quickly and easily with Kaltura Capture. This guide explains how to install and setup Kaltura Capture on your laptop and how to upload recordings directly to your Kaltura mediaspace.
— Listen to the conversation between Etienne Duval and Patrick Jermann about lessons learned during a workshop we organised about how to stream effectively from campus to a remote audience.
— Learn how to test student knowledge using quizzes. These may contain multiple-choices and short text answers. You can use Quizzes for continuous assessments but these can account for no more than around 15% of a student’s grade.
— Learn how to distribute Jupyter Notebook assignments from Moodle. If you would like your students to do assignments in Python, R, C or Octave, you can assign them files from your Noto workspace through Moodle, which they can copy to their Noto workspace, write and execute their code online and submit via Moodle.
— In the context of an open book take home exam, or in the context of an oral online exam, you might want your students to submit handritten developments. This guide presents solutions to scan paper and turn it into PDFs for Android and iOS phones.
— Which microphones to use from where ? How to connect the wireless receiver ? Find out what you need to teach on campus to 1/3 while streaming to 2/3 of remote students.
— Learn about how to best setup your session with 1/3 of the students in class and 2/3 of the students remote. Make sure to include all students to ask & answer questions.
— Breakout rooms allow you to create separate groups in a meeting, e.g. for discussions or problem-solving. Get step-by-step instructions about how to setup breakout rooms in ZOOM.
— This Moodle page explains the purpose of different activities and tools in Moodle (Setting up communication, office hours, collecting feedback, etc.).
