During the transition to remote instruction many of you had to quickly transform your courses, which may have left little time to explore resources that were shared online and elsewhere. As the semester winds down and you prepare for summer teaching or take a breather before planning for fall, we want to provide links to some resources related to inquiries we鈥檝e received about remote teaching and learning.
First, FGCU鈥檚 own Dr. Charles Xiaoxue Wang is a Professor of Educational Technology, who has created a website to aid in the process of online course design. He provides a model that lays out how one might think about content, activities, facilitation, and evaluation (CAFE model). Of particular interest to faculty may be Dr. Wang鈥檚 tips regarding three types of interaction that can take place in the remote learning environment: learner-content interaction, learner-instructor interaction, and learner-learner interaction. You can find out more about the CAFE model here-- , and you can contact Dr. Wang directly at xxwang@fgcu.edu.
Other resources we鈥檝e discovered recently include:
- , a site that highlights commonly used resources to move online quickly and efficiently.
- A on creating more equitable video calls when teaching remotely.
- If you have experienced challenges in conducting remote, synchronous video conferences, you will find some alternatives to videoconferencing .
- And, finally, the concept of 鈥渉ybrid-flexible course design鈥� (one in which students are able to choose their mode of participation from session to session), is mentioned in a blog post about the next phases of responding to the COVID-19 virus and, more extensively, in an open textbook .
If you have additional ideas, advice, suggestions, music, or funny bits that you would like to share with your colleagues, send it all to wreynolds@fgcu.edu or lucascenter@fgcu.edu and we will post it to the blog.
