About moving to teach online

 

I thought this might be of interest. -- Pete

"Faculty/teaching colleagues at colleges and universities. I am going to start a bare bones thread with some resources about moving to teach online."
 

Thanks, Pete. Added to the doc?

There are some educators who are really well connected to other educators online and they are already naturally supporting each other. As I wait here to find out if our local public K-12 schools will close, I think about what support educators who are NOT connected will need to continue to teach if their school closes. Of course in an urban district like Seattle, the issues of equity and access to online learning are significant, so people are thinking about mailing lessons, etc to families.?

Does anyone know of people/resources who are starting to reach out and support these less online-familiar teachers?? Tony Carr, are there lessons from South Africa??

Hi,
Maybe it is good to know that I train teachers and students of all levels to learn online, from digital literacies to blended learning and to Problem Based Learning online in online communities of Inquiry. So when anyone need help. I do this as a freelancer and I have more then 10 years of experience on different settings and platforms. I have work in international settings. Let me know when someone needs help.

Best regards
FranciscaF?

Here's another compilation of resources, spearheaded by some folks at Stanford. Maybe some of you are part of this initiative already.

Thanks Francisca, this is good to know, as I wouldn¡¯t be in a position to help educators, but it¡¯s a passion of mine to support where I can. Have you added your details to the google spreadsheet?

Start a column on the end that states specialisation or focus and add in education

That would be really fab.

best wishes

Hi Nancy,

Thank for asking about our experience here in South Africa. As it happens we have a lot of experience in universities which attempted to move teaching and learning activities online during the physical campus shutdowns as a result of Fees Must Fall protests a few years ago. These initiatives were only partly successful in supporting teaching and learning because:
  1. Bandwidth and connectivity constraints faced by many students
  2. Large numbers of students were more interested in protesting than continuing with the studies during the shutdown
  3. Lecturers who were unprepared or unwilling to move their courses online
  4. The initiatives by the universities were seen by many as a way to undermine the protests
I expect that if we move to a scenario where university administrations here are considering a period of virtual teaching and learning some of these issues will endure;
  1. Bandwidth and connectivity off campus
  2. Lecturers feeling like they are being forced to get with the programme
  3. Lecturers and students who will strongly raise equity issues as an objection
