Input 2

Design of educational ressources in an online workshop

Translation of existing content to webinar conditions

Structure and timeline

  • predictability of workshop
  • avoiding an overload of the given time
    • prioritising learnings

 

 

Balance of workshop phases

  • introduction/team building
  • input from coaches
  • group discussions
  • small groups
  • check-out and evaluation

Translation of existing content to webinar conditions

Learning styles and variety

Input/learning:

  • balancing out visual, sonic and haptic inputs
  • Special challenge: movement/haptic/kinesthetic parts
    • games, movement, incentives to interact through body language

Learning styles and variety

  • Walk around your chair with camera on
  • Ask questions: Open/close camera as an answer
  • introduce gestures if possible
  • mimic movements/expressions as warm up

Learning styles and variety

Output/participation:

 

  • balance out speaking, polling, games, group work, etc.
  • not everyone will interact the same way and that´s OK

Learning styles and variety

Entering the (virtual) classroom

 Motivation and volontariness:

 

  • pupils are forced to attend school and your program
  • workshop is a new and potentially exciting change
    • creative tools

Preexisting group dynamics:

 

  • gather info beforehand
  • consciously assign working groups
  • consider possible destructive group patterns (bullying, fears, discrimination)
    • code of conduct?
    • talking about boundaries

Entering the (virtual) classroom

  • in-app, browser based, other apps
    • gateway: chat on home platform
  • landscape is growing constantly
  • research what tools can do, e.g.
    • meeting platforms
    • polling
    • games/quizzes
    • creative tasks like drawing
    • brainstorming/collaboration

Speaking about tools

  • extensive testing pays out
  • accessibility on smartphone
    • limiting the number of tools used in one workshop

Speaking about tools

Collaborative writing - YoPad

Presentations - slides

Quizzes and games - Kahoot

Collaboration and publishing text - CodiMD

Audience interaction - slido

Thank you for your attention!

Questions?

Breakout sessions - 30 min

  • what are the challenges?
  • what has to be changed fundamentally? What can stay as it is?
  • which tools to use?
  • how long and what kind of interaction is needed?
  • how does it relate to the other parts of the course? Is there a balance and variety?
  • is it adaptable to smartphone use?
