Searching for the ‘new normal’… Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixaba “The affordances of current technology are astonishing: in the pandemic they can save lives; in higher education they can support at-risk students and they can save educators from much drudgery allowing them to focus on what humans are really good at – teaching.

- 12. What does this mean to the University? What do you need to do differently? How quickly can you adjust? What do you need to make this happen?

- 14. Q. What have we learnt from the ‘emergency pivot’? Some observations… • Virtual meetings work (well, sort of) • Most academic staff adapted very quickly • Online systems are resilient • We cant assume all students can study effectively • Online examinations are more difficult to deliver • Online support for all students is difficult • Most students prefer to be on-campus • Remote teaching is not online learning Image by tookapic from Pixabay
- 15. How do we prepare for the next stages? Teach as normal Delay course start dates Change curricula Change delivery Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay - Potentially lose all international students; - Be vulnerable to any further lockdowns - Create split teaching groups for Sept/Jan starters? - Delay all courses and modify curricula to accommodate - Introduce split, more targeted, or staggered curricula; - Add extra burden to already overworked academic and professional teams; - Rework existing courses for blended delivery, or entirely remote course provision; - How to accommodate labs, practicals and placements, and support all students?

Inclusive Teaching • Make some materials available in advance; • Make your slides accessible; • Use closed captions and transcripts; • Plan to vary your delivery; • Record your sessions; • Encourage participation; • Allow time for questions; https://inclusiveteaching.leeds.ac.uk/
- 19. About the hyflex model HyFlex course design enables a flexible participation policy for students whereby students may choose to attend face-to-face synchronous class sessions or complete course learning activities online without physically attending class Hybrid: Combines both online and face-to-face teaching and learning activities. Flexible: Students may choose whether or not to attend face-to-face sessions with no “learning deficit.”

- 26. What is the impact of hyflex on learning outcomes? • 300 students enrolled on Anatomy and Cell Biology course (Western University, Ontario); • 200 attended lectures, ~75 accessed the live-stream; • Student performance / outcomes were statistically the same whether students took their course online or in a face-to-face class. • Past academic performance, not the course delivery method was a better predictor of student performance Image by Arek Socha from Pixabay
- 27. Is the hyflex model the answer? Pro’s • Students have the option to attend both synchronous or asynchronous versions of the class; • Off-campus students can maintain access to their course and peers; • It encourages universal learning designs; • Changes to curriculum and teaching delivery are small; • It encourages collaboration and active learning Con’s • Staff can feel overwhelmed to be delivering to multiple student groups; • Synchronising communications and personal support to off-campus learners can be difficult; • Greater use of active learning requires extra preparation and facilitation time; • On-campus learners may not welcome the greater disruption to their classes; off-campus learners may feel disadvantaged • Some institutions may not have suitable technology and bandwidth to offer hyflex on all courses.
