As an instructional designer , I wonder how academicians are migrating from face to face to hybrid model of teaching and learning. which ID models are u using/
My experiences in hybrid teaching and learning are very good and successful, although there are some challenges represented by the weak culture and awareness of students towards it.
As a professor of psychology, hybrid teaching has many positives as it does negatives. The positives are really an overwhelming charge for me in that being directly in class for the percentage of the face-to-face segment gives me the opportunity to share with the students the amazing components of psychology. To see their faces and they grasp at the content during the lecture with their eyes and body lanuage, without speaking a word, is one of the most invigorating moments in class. I live for the classroom. Their interests go beyond a simple question, it digs deep into the whys and wheres so on,. That is my positives. Now the negative is like total instant amnesia for them. The migrating for them from one to the other does not always seem to solidify the measures or competencies that the state requires for learning or intentions of a learning format. By that I mean, everything I presented to them face-to-face seems to become a puzzle when the hybrid day comes. Hybrid days can be very beneficial, but a big negative as well. Their memory does not serve them well when completing the hybrid day course work. I do not always adhere to the format of two days in class lecture- one day online assignments. I still allow them to handwritten or type in a word document and turn it in. I used to spend, before the pandemic, a class period correcting the work turned in and then lecturing it again until they got it right. I even wait until they return to class and give verbal tests to ensure they have an understanding of the content. I know that defies the rule of hybrid learning, but if the student is not learning, what is the purpose of it? As for the positives and negatives, based on the info I just shared, I see an equal balance.
O ensino remoto recolocou a responsabilidade de estudar e participar de aulas sobre os alunos. Os alunos, porém, precisaram aprender e compreender melhor as ferramentas de reunião/aulas virtuais. É muito importante examinar com a classe algumas ferramentas digitais que possam ser utilizadas a partir dos celulares e computadores para agregar substância às atividades/produções dos estudantes e sua interação com os professores e entre si.
Logo, antes de planejar ou preparar o ID, compreendo que o Professor deve firmar o olhar e suas atitudes sobre a acolhida aos estudantes que estão se adaptando e aprendendo a estudar em um novo formato, que é o ensino híbrido. Todos os estudantes carregam suas identidades e diferenças. Não podemos preparar uma classe que os considere todos iguais. O ensino remoto e híbrido não pode comenter o erro de nivelar todos os alunos. Isso pode significar um esforço perdido, pois os estudantes não são como objetos, são sujeitos de sua própria aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. Então, os movimentos do professor devem ser no sentido de remover/anular qualquer situação de ensino que possa parecer hostil ou autoritário. As pessoas, em geral, ficam iradas, rancorosas e descontroladas participando das aulas virtuais, porque a internet falha, a voz não é captada pelo microfone, e etc. Precisamos de um ambiente amigável para que o ensino flua com todos os seus potenciais e os alunos se motivem para aprender. Sintetizando, primeiro devemos dominar as ferramentas e plataformas digitais e seus instrumentos. Por segundo, planejar o ID e avançar conforme o ritmo da classe. Enfim, conhecer e relacionar-se bem com a classe, para então estabelecer as estratégias de ensino do conteúdo.
I prefer Hybrid teaching above all other methods (Face-to-face, online), because it allows for the time and space to foster a connection and relationship with the students that are very integral in the overall learning experience. At the same time, it gives flexibility by having some instruction and assignments online.
There is no doubt for me, face-to-face teaching is my preferable choice, but the current situation with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in my country makes the migration from face-to-face to hybrid model completely reasonable...
Hybrid teaching intentionally combines the best aspects of online and onsite teaching and learning, using both asynchronous and synchronous opportunities to combine independent work with collaborative, engaged peer learning and direct teacher/student communication. https://www.brandeis.edu/teaching/continuity/hybrid-instruction.html
Just as online classes are not easier than classes taken in the classroom, hybrid classes are at least as much work, and sometimes more work, than traditional courses. https://www.bestcollegesonline.org/faq/what-is-a-hybrid-class/
"Hybrid learning combines online learning with real-life classroom instruction, but online learning can be synchronous (where students interact online with their teachers in real-time via a Zoom class or something similar) or asynchronous," https://www.popsugar.com/family/what-does-hybrid-learning-mean-47703966
In the hybrid teaching, students are more often assigned these kinds of content-centered tasks in the
online portion of the course, and spend face-to-face time more deeply exploring it, analyzing it,
deconstructing it, and collaborating together to develop new ideas. In contrast, in the traditional classroom, a certain amount (sometimes a significant amount) of in-seat
time might be spent watching videos, reading texts, and taking notes during faculty lectures.
As a university we started online teaching earlier but now zoom and teams have made classes more enriching--you can see your students and respond to thier questions.
Flexibility in the class schedule and the instructor's availability were positive experiences for the hybrid course. Convenience, instructor availability, and online interactions were cited as positives for the online course while the negatives were technology hiccups and a sense of feeling lost in Cyberspace.
The hybrid model is effective for university students.because they are mature to get benefits regarding their learning. it gives exposure to students to interact with teachers and other students worldwide. the students get more benefits through the hybrid model.
Well, I feel that my interactions with my students have "drifted", I feel that they are not the same as the ones I had with them in face-to-face classes, I really feel uncomfortable not being able to share in the same way online as I did in the classroom. I also feel that my students don't interact in the same way, that social learning context is not the same online as it is in the classroom. On the other hand, there is no assurance that the learning will be effective, because the students' tasks may be done by other people
Dear Dr Ritu Uppal believe it or not: I have no experience with hybrid teaching and learning whatsoever and I will never get some. I officially retired in October 2019, so that I was spared all the new problems associated with the corona crisis. My last PhD student successfully defended his PhD thesis in mid February this year, just before the outbreak of the corona pandemic. Luckily I'm thus spared the tedious online / hybrid teaching and all the bureaucracy that comes with it. I still have a small office at our Department so that I can work on the unpublished manuscripts and answer RG questions.
My experiences in hybrid teaching and learning are very good and successful, although there are some challenges represented by the weak culture and awareness of students towards it.
