Blending the virtual back into F2F teaching’

Abstract

From F2F to virtual, and now back to F2F again (…mostly). And with that the next challenge for teachers is how to blend the best of our online classes (and the various EdTech skills we acquired along the way) back into a new F2F format. While every course has its specific characteristics, difficulties in engaging students and generating opportunities for meaningful peer interaction and collaboration are commonplace. In this seminar, Mathew and Lynn will share their recent research studies into students’ experience of online courses, and look at how their Digital Exhibition Space (DES) e-learning platform has been helping colleagues both inside the campus and beyond create a flexible blended learning environment that can support both dual and hybrid-mode teaching.
