III. Advice and Reflections from Glynda Hull, Professor, School of Education

Summary of Glynda’s tips for teaching in the summer

  1. Build relationships - e.g. open zoom room early; create casual spaces for connections;
  2. Bring those into norms for participation - formalizing for everyone how participation might be best facilitated - ask students to vocalize and discuss (community agreements);
  3. Camera option - make sure to share the value of it and encourage students to turn on camera

Suggestions for Structuring Zoom Breakout Rooms 

  • Create Structured activities
  • Assign an activity w/ roles for each student. It gives them a way on how to proceed and divide work.
  • Have student’s develop slide deck so they have structure from which they can report when they return to main lecture zoom room

Best Practices for Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Courses

Question [at 1:05:11]: How to engage students to learn more in the summer course, which is double-pace compared to regular course?

Answer:  50%/50% recommended given fast-pacing of summer course. Glynda also suggests a pedagogical arc as a way of bringing in familiarity and clear expectations to help manage the frantic nature of summer. The arc includes several activities from from which students’ can draw their own experience: inspire/explore; research; collaborate
