Foil 6 Lessons Learned and Useful Strategies (2)

From Synchronous Education between Michigan and San Diego Federal Web Consortium Meeting at NPACI All Hands Meeting San Diego -- Jan 27 1999. by Ilya Zaslavsky


Encourage student interaction with peers.
Have a set of back-up plans if network connection is bad, including speakerphone.
Have a reliable support on the "receiving side" !!!!
Survey students and keep a class log, this will help in detecting strategies that work.
Use a second pair of computers to transmit different components of the conference.
Turn off video in one or both directions, to keep audio clear.
Accept that this approach is not necessarily good for every student, and some won't be happy.
Re-think your teaching style and habits!
