Maintaining
engagement
in online lessons
1) What we can bring from our face-to-face teaching experience
Many things apply e.g. choose an engaging topic, giving students tasks to complete, using their names, finding out about them.
2) Teacher talking time
It can be easy for teachers to talk more in online lessons – we can’t always see students and students don’t know if they can speak so there are silences that we then fill. This can include reading text aloud from the screen. We should make sure that everything we say is useful and purposeful.
For example
, where necessary sts can read out the instructions rather than the teacher then T only ICQs " for younger age groups /images cliparts can be used to support instructions.
3)
Interactivity
We need to plan for interactivity e.g. use of the chat box to gather answers to tasks, use of breakout rooms for pair/group work, nomination of students to speak, the setting of tasks and the use of interactive tools that make tasks more interactive, like Wordwall.
4)
Movement
We should build movement into our lessons so that students aren’t always sitting in front of a device e.g. we can send them to look for something like an item in their fridge they don’t know the name of. Students can show each other, find out the words and then say if they like the items or not. Or simply give students time to stand up and stretch.
5)
Sharing your screen
We should avoid sharing our screens for too long in a lesson so that we can see all of our learners at the same time.
Classroom management in online lessons
1) clear instructions are important because you can’t see what the students are doing when they’re doing activities.
3) teachers may need to plan pairs and groups more carefully so that learners can work independently together in breakout rooms.
4) we need to plan how we gather feedback, for example using the chat box, a survey tool, or nomination.
6) at the start of a course, it’s a good idea to agree on rules and/or expectations with learners.
7) rather than taking a learner who has broken the rules aside to talk to them, we can use the (private) chat box.
2) when giving instructions, it’s a good idea to say the instruction, write it in the chat box, get a student to repeat what the activity is and do a demo so that learners know exactly what to do.
5) wait time needs to be longer in online lessons because of the lag time and the time learners need to process the question.
Dealing with issues in online lessons
1) A learner can't get their audio or video to work even though they say their speakers and microphone are working.
Ask the student to exit the platform and come back in again. Often this solves the problem.
2) A learner constantly speaks over other learners, or calls out when asked not to.
Mute all, or problem learners, so that they are unable to distract others. This could come after a warning (younger learners).
3) A learner is very shy and refuses to speak or fails to participate.
Build the learner's confidence by asking them to answer via the chat box to you privately so they participate. Make sure they have enough support and give praise.
4) The same few learners put their hands up to offer an answer or type their answers in the chat box.
Make it clear at the start of a course what your expectations are regarding answering questions. Make sure learners know they are all expected to do so.
5) Some learners dominate group work in breakout room activities.
Make it clear at the start of a course what your expectations are regarding collaboration so that learners know to take turns to speak.
6) A learner's connection is unstable.
Ask the learner to turn off their video as this can help.
