Asynchronous remote teaching : 2023-08-18
Each participant connects to the digital resources or devices when they select, without expecting to receive an immediate response or observe activity from others.
Examples of remote asynchronous teaching include accessing pre-recorded lectures or instructional videos that can be viewed at any time; engaging in online discussion forums where participants post and respond to messages at their own convenience; submitting assignments electronically without real-time interaction; and accessing learning materials and resources through online platforms or learning management systems that can be accessed at any time. In this teaching mode, participants can engage with the materials and activities according to their own schedule and pace.
Synchronous remote teaching : 2023-08-18
All participants are simultaneously connected to digital resources or devices, allowing each individual to observe the actions of others in real-time as they are being performed (or with a minimal delay of only a few seconds).
Examples of synchronous remote teaching include live online classes where students and instructors interact in real-time through video conferencing platforms; virtual lectures where participants can ask questions and receive immediate responses, and collaborative activities where students work together on shared digital documents or platforms while being able to see each other’s progress in real-time.
Face-to-face teaching (in-person) : 2023-08-18
A meeting in the learning process with more than two people, all present physically and in a synchronous format.
This can occur, for example, in a classroom where the teacher and the students are all in the same physical space and communicate in real-time. It can also include individual or group tutorials where participants gather in person to discuss and collaborate. In this modality, interaction occurs in person, allowing for direct communication and observing gestures and facial expressions (nonverbal communication) that enhance the learning experience.
Hybrid teaching environment (hybrid) : 2023-06-05
Some participants, either faculty or groups of students, are physically present in a face-to-face setting, while other participants are simultaneously engaged in synchronous remote teaching. This means some class attendants are in person, while others are remotely in real-time.
Examples of simultaneous remote and in-person teaching (hybrid) can include a classroom setting where some students attend the class physically, and others join remotely via video conferencing; a seminar where a few participants are physically present, while others connect remotely to participate in discussions and activities; or a workshop where the instructor delivers the session in person while remote participants follow along through live streaming and interact through virtual platforms.
In this teaching mode, the in-person and remote participants are simultaneously engaged in the same learning experience, albeit through different modalities. It allows flexibility and inclusiveness, accommodating participants who cannot attend in person while maintaining real-time interaction and collaboration.
