- 3. ENGAGING LEARNERS AT A DISTANCE Engaging learners
- 4. Pupils have learned • Where to go… • What is allowed… • Where to focus… • Who is in charge… • When they can stand… • How to respond… • When they can speak… • When to take a break… • Where resources are… …in a physical classroom Engaging learners
- 5. You may have learned Classroom constraints • Learning takes place at set times • Learning must be synchronous • Teacher must see pupils • Pupils must see teacher • Class all engage at the same time • Class all break at the same time • Pupils should be suitably dressed • Pupils should sit still • Technology is distracting Engaging learners
- 6. Setting up a study space What are the benefits and challenges of their • physical space • social space • technical space • temporal space? Build in time to • recognise benefits • address challenges. Engaging learners
- 7. Community and fun Trigger interaction with ice-breakers • Your favourite biscuit? • Which emoji represents you? • Your week in three words? • Which superpower? • Favourite vegetable? Engaging learners Easy, fast, light-hearted, not too revealing Encourage video use: • Show your favourite mug • Disguise yourself • Silliest hat Not everyone has video, bandwidth, a happy home to share Ask pupils to design an emoji quiz Learning games https://kahoot.com/

Distance educators • Provide structured learning materials • Support motivation • Develop study skills • Facilitate access to resources • Build and deepen discussion • Encourage responses • Help solve problems • Arrange practice & application • Test and evaluate • Provide feedback Teaching learners
- 11. Pedagogies Teaching learners 16 pedagogies How many are possible at a distance?
- 13. Methods that work 1. Flipped learning 2. Teachback 3. Seamless learning 4. Learning to learn 5. Evaluating information 6. Making thinking visible 7. Personal inquiry learning 8. Science in remote labs 9. MOOCs to support language learning 10. Maker culture Teaching learnershttp://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/innovating/
- 14. Flipped learning At home, pupils watch videos, listen to audio recordings, read books or worksheets. These resources allow them to work at their own pace, pausing to make notes where necessary. Some pupils, though not all, will be able to access help and support from family members. Live sessions become a time to explore subjects with the support of teacher and classmates. Live sessions can be whole-class, small groups or one-to-one calls. Set up a place where all learning resources are available to pupils. Put learning in the right place. Which parts can be done independently, which need to be in a live session, and which involve group work? Teach pupils skills needed to learn independently. Build in time to help pupils reflect on their learning. Teaching learners
- 15. ASSESSING AT A DISTANCE Assessing learners Keep adding questions to the chat
- 16. Why assess? Assessment for learning Enables teachers to provide feedback and target future learning and resources on areas in which a learner needs more development. Enables learners to identify areas that need more attention. Assessment as learning Emphasises pupils’ role – helping them to self-assess and to reflect. Assessment of learning Confirms what learners know and what they can do. Checks whether intended learning outcomes have been achieved. Can be used to rank learners / teachers / schools / areas / countries.
- 17. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) Assertion/reason questions Begin with a statement and give reasons why it is correct or incorrect. A correct answer requires understanding of the explanations. Explain answers in depth Pupils answer the questions and must then explain why the selected answer is right or wrong. Brain teasers Ask a challenging question that requires understanding of the subject being studied. The answers can form the basis for class discussion. Question creation Ask pupils to create their own MCQs to test knowledge of the subject. Grade on relevance, clarity, level, answer choices, and answer justifications. Assessing learners
- 18. Teachback Assessing learners Explanations can be recorded as audio or video, delivered live using a tool such as Zoom or Adobe Connect, or written versions can be shared by text or email. Explain topic to learner Learner teaches back If a learner struggles Check understanding Teachback can take place by telephone or in a live session using a tool such as Zoom. You could ask pupils to make a short video or recording, or send a written explanation. Share another explanation or a good explanation submitted by another pupil. Add commentary about what makes this a good explanation. Ask pupils to share how they have applied what they have learned, run an online quiz, circulate questions, or ask them to devise a test of understanding.

Renewable assessment Disposable assessment Teacher assigns work Pupil writes and hands in work Teacher marks and returns work Pupil looks at mark, perhaps at feedback No one looks at work again Renewable assessment ideas Write a piece for school newsletter/blog Create learning resources Create study questions Create list of FAQs on subject Create possible test questions Create a quiz Create a short video Create an explanation for younger pupils Credit: Gary Chan, Unsplash Assessing learners
