远程教学: Offering a fully in-person course through a digital environment while maintaining the approach to teaching and design initially established for the course. Remote teaching is about making the smallest amount of change to both course materials and the student experience to make it quickly viable in a digital environment.
- Example: moving an in-person class to zoom using the same or a similar schedule and format, 比如讲座.
在线教学: Courses developed intentionally for digital learning environments. Online courses are offered primarily through asynchronous approaches, with occasional–often optional–synchronous (live) sessions available. Online teaching happens in courses that have been designed through online learning theories, pedagogies, 以及网络环境特有的实践.
- 例如:设计的课程, developed, 并通过Canvas独家交付, 所有的课程材料都提前准备好了.
同步或异步? There are two options for instructors to facilitate class sessions remotely:
- Synchronous: Instructors and students gather at the same time and interact in “real time” with a very short or “near-real time” exchange between instructors and students.
- Asynchronous: Instructors prepare course materials for students in advance of students’ access. Students may access the course materials at a time of their choosing and will interact with each over a longer period of time.
You may choose to engage students synchronously or asynchronously depending on your level of comfort, 你的学生的安慰, 什么最适合你的课程.
You have many tools at your disposal to deliver your class synchronously or asynchronously. While synchronous tools can help you easily replicate what you do in the regular classroom, there might be content or activities that are better left in an asynchronous format, 比如阅读或讨论. Consider balancing your synchronous and asynchronous strategies as you move forward.
Also keep in mind that many students may not have computers or internet access. Rather, they may be compelled to access your course using their phones. 在这种情况下, video content may be inconsistent and choppy and may also carry with it data charges for the student.
