[00:00:00] >> This is today's agenda we are going to begin to talk about Sri Ammons of course engagement communication connection and into action if you are teaching this some are. Us students we are not to see it in the same class known as their peers and listening to you instead they probably real sit at the hall and that probably has their cats or dock likes this picture shows this is the new learning environment so the question that is how could be engaged students and help them learn in this new environment we all will all of us try to t.v. recommend full communication is making it transparent od consistent and manageable let me say transparent. [00:00:58] Trite is that we should try to address. Questions regarding hard how you have and communicates miss your students and harsh students that committee gets rid. Their peers cover all those questions in your syllabus we have Sree suggestions regarding communication you need to create a communication privately and inform students about the plan and yes some of us and the next thing you want to do is communicates a reading and often and while we recommend you communicate as often as possible as your students we wanted to make we want to make sure that's the communication well as manageable so for to make it and using Course afaik f a q's is one of the ways that you can manage the communication you don't want to ask them to send questions. [00:01:59] Raised by multiple students cause f a q's could help students find the answers before they ask you the question so we say we talk about using a communication plan so pull this plan that we will suggest are addressing this questions in your syllabus and then when you start communicating yes visit your students read a book a man start starting early as you may half done that already wherever there's a master's starts you send that welcome to cross message b s students if you have done that before you need to continue doing that in the summer and because your students are away and it's important to welcome to the class as they as you do when you teach face to face and what the man for communicating often is that you may consider sending announcements to your class every week sending in announcement at the start of the week and at the end of the week it may sound like a chore. [00:03:10] And then you may become sun that your students mag get annoyed because of receiving 2 announcements every week from you already have this practice has been proven very in fact infant very popular among my students at Georgia Tech so here whether your students will be annoyed by receiving too many announcements on not really depends on what you're saying and that's mine this is the next sample of an end of week of mouse month this is actually another very long announcement there are 4 board points here 1st the 1st part upon the his truck to remind students of that lying will project 3 and their secondary clients the instructor re my students about their progress and the focal rates it's the longest part of this order to list the film one that's really important because the instructed come late to the students that he actually rushed to do this on a discussion post and he recognizes those good posts from students and he encourages students to continue doing that you know that to be a learning community and the last bullet that's given students an a grade b. can and good luck on the project so it's not complicate that and how it's really it really had a positive in fact our students and here is our students comments the students was from that process and this students talk about that skill as she did I think that's the announcement well useful it took him or her heart Rocky to realize that it was this announcement was enormous or a powerful. [00:05:08] Yes course f.a.q. those could be very In fact I have in manage course communicational. So maybe it takes take some time to put together a list of F.A.Q.'s However it would help rest students' finances before they ask you questions so you can compile a set of a for f.a.q. says and post to the camera site and then test students to don't go there and check before they ask questions I'm going to posture for a minute here I'm going to allow you to take some notes using the what sheet to. [00:05:51] Check off a few items on the up sheet to see what you could do for coming in Cajun your ideas and along has the ideas we suggest didn't take some note there were others a question from Laura who is asking that because summer is such compressed and every day is like a week would it be a good idea to send a message every day. [00:06:15] I think you can't do that if you have important I think it's every day for your students or if you do for example you do something crass this question very often and then you may talk about the questions that come up from this question to address those questions or as the example I just show there are really good points for students you may ponder Mogs and recognizing their contribution to the class discussion if you do it every day just to make it shorter because students may not have time to read the longer mass and there's also been several comments about using videos to do the announcements instead of written do you have any thoughts about that I think that's a good idea because in cameras when you use the announcement today you can type you can recall or the And video as well it's really easy as now as your computer and the device you use has a webcam and then you can just start the Web Start recording very quickly I think it's a I actually would prefer this math because it was that allow you to allow your students to see you and as long as you are comfortable you called in yourself all right if you are a they get some ideas about how you are going to communicate with your students in the summer we are going to talk about connection. [00:07:53] And you may already have done that when you teach you face to face your introduce yourself and ask your students to introduce themselves it's a good idea to continue doing that while your students are running remote already and it's human more important that you get to know your students and in the. [00:08:14] Diction to getting to know your students through that introduction we also suggest you do only the big more 3 you don't learn the by your students' needs and the last a suggestion be a half here full connection this step to preparing your students for remote learning some of your students may be new to George attack and some of us do this May new to a maybe near 2 cameras and sometimes some students may be near to the remote and so when you introduce yourself consider adding a photo of you to this tour that Ch'ien and 2 are just mentioned using the they're recording it's a good idea and then in addiction to who you are in your in the introduction you may share some interesting things about you and then you can tell your students to do the same in the introduction because a students are away from campus they could be anywhere up so it makes good to know your students more practice time reach time zones are they located in what they can there is is can they easily ask why they are away from campus. [00:09:31] Or and what concerns them the most about taking your course remote Tory and we have a so way that you could use to get to know your students more this away is a well a pull in cameras come and set you can import the software into your course you should see yet when you go to canvas and then select comments from the laugh navigation menu if you don't see it you may do a search for Sinco and then you v.s.e. all the resources we share in common is prepare students for remote learning as I just sat yours remote learning may be new to your students and it may be helpful to rival pro Why don't list some resources that we have prepared them for remote running so in this remark on things do this guy only provides few things tips or if active in Primeau run they be also introduce them to the night essentials of using cameras we also pro why resource scarred for them to get help and support for example technical support campus services and academic support this remark landings to the sky can be import into your course for our cameras comments as well so these are those 3 the strategies we suggest for connecting miss your students and connecting your students was Akademi supporting camera and campus services so what are the ideas you half regarding connecting as your students are were like you to take a minutes to jot them some ideas on what she'd. [00:11:26] There's some questions about getting students to do audio or video introductions of themselves and canvas and also like managing that for larger classes yes as I mentioned you can use the the cameras it's really easy to for both instructors and students to recall the r. and video and post them in canvas and you can do it through that this question board on you can start that stress a process introduction or south introduction that would allow students to to create a message where that is text only 0 or. [00:12:07] 4 latch classes it may be a lot for students to post the discussion to or what I like you to devise students into groups and then do a group introduction if you want to if you don't want the discussion Schratt to be too long because you have $150.00 students and everybody reprised to the saying read that would be using group discussion will be. [00:12:41] Fun to have to do that. And there is a 2 hour call Weiss Sarette it's in external tool by this integrated risk cameras and it's a good tool for. Posting video recording and comments are using video recording as well and what's right that's it's a supported by George attack it's a tool we have a license for yes what's right that Cindy Gray Davis cameras where I want you pray and that's Simon's you choose extra not tour and Westray Subi on the list of all extra not tours or cameras. [00:13:29] All right we're going to talk about 3 types of interaction and teaching and learning so in a cost the our students there learn that how we interact as content and their peers and then instruct us so this call this this is called 3 types of interaction in teaching and learning and it will not automatically happen you need to do something to facilitate this street types of interaction so for learn that country turn into action one of the techniques you can use is active learning you just do not you do not just simply impose your course materials to the camera shy and expect students to to actively interact misses the content well as some of the things you can do for example if you record to your lecture you can't invite questions of questions and you may also want to encourage no taking Why are they watch their recall their reaction or when they attend live classes and to facilitate stand though taking you may provide question prompts I What kind of question prompts really depends on the content can private art you can provide a very specific question pong related to the content or you can use some general question problems for students to think about the content I'm pro Why you with a least question Prime example is in the handout you may take a look to see if you can use them or modify them before you use them so students are located The everywhere else in the summer however running remote read does not mean learning along it's still possible. [00:15:29] For students to learn with each other so here are our feelings examples that students can learn and interact with each other and learn from each other one of the most commonly used activities is online discussions or you can are asked to students to review each other's Simon's project you may think that you know this do not know how to provide feedback to other students or the peer review tends to be very superficial grey idea I like your work it's really recourse you know students try to just finished of the task and then the peer feedback does not it's not always very constructive However one of the comments that I could of students about peer review is that even they do not receive a lot of constructive feedback from their peers the process of reading other people's work and providing feedback to others out there who learn a lot and then you can of course you can ask your students to do group us time on the project or present Haitian. [00:16:52] Well students at Georgia Tech have very positive experience bizarre online discussions if they are facilitating a route in the hours away that was conducted in 2016 the majority of the students read that their presidential online they all agreed that are not discussions were variable to their And I think we asked students who took the subway was a suggestion they have for effective online discussion they gave these at the top paying part things they recommended doing when for our own discussions in addition to suggestions from students we have tips from Georgia Tech instructors as well I provided 2 links to read it. [00:17:44] In which the instructors some of your instructors from Georgia Tech talk about their strategy for our facilitating online discussions n.p.r. the one learning community and online courses reacted we are not going to show those videos now but you can go back and watch them. It's helpful to have the suggestions and tips from pose a students and in shutters at Georgia Tech have a priest keep in mind some fundamental hers for doing it factor online discussions 1st of all you need to think about which 2 are rich discussion 2 a you're going to use we have to the discussion sure is in canvas one there's the cameras to a poll discussions and the other as a 3rd party to a call piazza I have included a very detailed feature comparison about this between this tourist in the hand you may take a look and select one of them and the next thing you'd need to do is set very clear expectation on participation because if students do not know what this what this is to be expected they may not but this event at all and then choose a discussion topics and then pro our question plans if you decide to grade the discussion you may probably rubric on how the discussions out to be graded So how to interact rest your students while you are away and then you don't see them regular every in class no anymore so here are a few suggestions the core of this suggestion is that providing opportunities for both asynchronous and synchronous interaction you do not need to conduct bridging is crossed every day to make your students feel that you are present you can do other things asynchronously for example participating in this question recognize students go post and West do this summit or Simon provide them with concrete feedback and if you see the need of using what you office hours there. [00:20:05] Let Or if you have T.A.'s you may ask to contact the whole jobs office hours when you do that record it and make it a whaleboat for your students to review So these are their suggestions all tips are best practices for course engagement through communication connection and interaction They'll know I will like you to this Gus was your colleagues about ideas and strategies of yours I don't welcome back everybody I hope you had a wonderful discussion Mr Comics during the breakout section some of you are a record to your discussion on the palate and I mean let's see of how you can post a later. [00:21:01] The link the probably link is a variable to you on the course in engagement page and some of you mentioned here in p.r. some from the ask that it's a discussion to harbor one of the new features in Piazza this allow you to do a life here and there and some of the posting here mention that care and I feature and there's the brew Jean-Pierre and they feature for routines events we are using blue jeans meeting our of a brew jeans events has the cure and they feature what or so what I can mention that Piazza has a killer and they feature as well thank you very much for joining us today and if you have any if questions regarding how to create a engaging experience for remote mining priests feel free to contact ask rehab she though has a consultation for it's the link is include the in the hand out and thank you everybody.
