I asked Courtney Rivard for her top 3 practical tips for asynchronous teaching and learning and here is what she shared:
Think about breaking your class into separate chunks of time that follow a general outline that will be repeated for the remainder of the remote teaching classes. Here is an example that is largely a re-tooling of think-pair-share:
- watch (or read) – 10-15 minutes
- students will watch a prerecorded video or read your lecture notes/powerpoints
- think and write – 10-15 minutes
- you ask your students a few questions that make them think about what they just read/saw. Students then write their answers to your questions, and post them to an online forum you have designated for class discussion (i.e. sakia forums, teams, slack, etc.).
- share and respond – 10-15 minutes
- students read through their peers’ responses and they are required to respond to a set number of peer comments
Because the class is not happening in real time, you may want to set a deadline for completion for each or all activities. Remember, though, that students will need some time to complete them, so make sure to post these well in advance.
