Can all of your students attend class in person?, Synchronous Converged…
Can all of your students attend class in person?
Yes
Great. You seem to be able to carry on as planned. Consider using strategies that make your course more resilient in case you do face disruption in the future. Design classes with asynchronous or converged possibilities in mind.
No
Can all of your students attend class in person or virtually at the same time?
Yes
Consider using your computer during your class session to connect with virtual students by your preferred conference technology. Does that sound doable?
Yes, I think so.
Great! See here for some best practices for facilitating converged classes. What is the main format of your class?
No.
No
Here are two asynchronous possible options. Option 1. Record your class session live using your preferred conference technology and share the recorded video with students who cannot attend. Assign them to reflect on the video or post a question or two in response. 2. Find other material that is a sufficient stand in for the class session. For example, is there a khan academy video that would help? Do you have previously recorded sessions that could help? Ask students to watch and respond as stated above. Do either of these options sound doable?
Yes, I think so.
Nope.
Ok, here are some asynchronous solutions. What is the main format of your class?
Lecture and Discussion
Propose the same (or similar) questions for discussion on a Canvas discussion. If there is more than one student, they may discuss with each other. If there is only one, then the student can provide a reflection essay in response.
Audio record your lecture portion.
Task discussion groups to take shared notes using an online collaboration tool like Google docs. Ask asynchronous students to review notes and report back common themes across discussion groups.
Problem Solving/Active Learning
Assign asynchronous students the same problems or tasks. If working on paper, have all students submit photos of their solutions or notes in Canvas assignments or discussions. Release the images of these once everyone has submitted them.
Depending on what kind of task you're doing, seek out a collaboration tool that students can access and work on both synchronously and asynchronously. This mind map, for example, is something students in person can start, and then both sync and asycn students can continue contributing to it at any point.
Lecture
Task in person students with keeping collaborative notes on an online collaboration tool like Google Docs. Assign the students unable to attend to review the notes and ask clarifying questions.
Audio record your lecture using your phone (or ask a student to use theirs).
