[Linganth] helping colleagues teach online courses

Mon Mar 16 03:12:05 UTC 2020

Dear all,

Thank you for sharing tips on online teaching from different angles.

In Hong Kong, we have been conducting online lessons for an extended period due to the different circumstances, as some of you may be aware of.

I have co-created a set of slides for colleagues, approaching the issue from the administrative and logistics perspectives, and here is the link:
https://blearn3.wixsite.com/tel-hub/post/for-teachers-teaching-online
It discusses, for instance, how to create narrated slides, how to check attendance easily or invite a guest speaker when running a synchronized session on Zoom.

Hope this can be of some help.

In the spirit of Ilana’s great suggestion, I’m forwarding this link to a memo on online teaching strategies from a Harvard law professor, William (Terry) Fisher. He’s been teaching an online course for 8 years (my son had a hand in this and shared it with me, but Prof. Fisher says that it can be widely shared ). The tech-savvy among you may find it basic, some details might not work for you, but it’s a straightforward presentation that has some useful points for people who like me have less experience with this medium.

Good luck to all of you who didn’t get a chance to retire before this challenge hit! Take care and stay well.

Subject: [Linganth] helping colleagues teach online courses

Dear Colleagues,
Many of us are faced with the daunting prospect of transforming our classes into online classes in a matter of days,
without enough time or training.    We are going to be turning to Zoom and other video conferencing technologies
which leave much to be desired.  We are also going to face problems that many of our students needs courses
to be asynchronous for a variety of factors.

I want to suggest that we start helping each other out by visiting each other's classes virtually.   If you as an
instructor are faced with creating asynchronous material, perhaps you can record conversations with authors
of assigned texts when necessary.

 Please add your name to the list on the Google doc below if you are willing to "visit" classes.   We can also collect videos and links to the online exercises that we each are developing on the Google doc as well.

Best,
Ilana
