How do you teach in the Hybrid Virtual Classroom? Student in the classroom and online at the same time? This workshop covers some of the challenges.
Pedagogical advice
Advice for preparation, planning and choices
· Be well prepared. Plan teaching activities in advance such as when you plan to switch between on-campus and online groups. Prepare your ‘chat’ text in advance. Minimise these moments unless discussion is the goal. Plan a variety of content and formats to keep it engaging.
· Create a complete and detailed plan for the lesson overview. Outline roles, learning goals, and timing. If there are several teachers each should know what their role is. Provide a moderator to manage the flow of communication and check the chat.
· Have a very clear script for how the class will be run and who will do what and ensure all teachers understand it. Have roles clearly defined for all those who are involved.
· Make clear choices about what teaching activities are synchronous and asynchronous. Plan each class in the context of the whole curriculum. A live session must be a condensed version of a normal class. Plan carefully in advance specific activities for those in person and those online and how to engage them. Do not try to cover all your normal class content in this format.
· Make lesson content (slides) available to students in advance so it is easier from them to follow the class online.
· Practice in the HVC/CC as an actor would practice in a new theatre to get a ‘feel’ for it. Try to imagine what it is like to be the student online. Do a test run with a colleague where you experience this, so you know how the online students see your lesson.
· Do not use this format to give a long lecture with lots of information. Use content and then combined with exercises and discussions. Think very carefully before using the HVC/CC due to complexity, planning and additional staff costs.
Advice for classroom management
· Always ask a question first to the students online, then to those in the classroom.
· Plan to actively connect the two group to create immersive interaction.
· Since there is less non-verbal communication from online students, address them directly. Ask them to use the chat. Be prepared for less direct interaction from those online and work to engage them.
· Place online students into groups and place them in break-out rooms. Then allocate each group a separate screen in the classroom to make interaction with them easier.
· Consider having an additional teacher who focuses exclusively on the online students.
· Ensure that for online students that their audio and video works in both directions so they can be seen and heard.
· Use a quiz format (voting Yes or No by showing a red or green object) to encourage students to switch on their camera.
· Ask online students to share their screen to involve them when they talk

7. 1 - Hybrid Virtual Classroom
A learning environment in which both on-
site and remote students can
simultaneously attend learning activities
Raes, A., Detienne, L., Windey, I., & Depaepe, F. (2020).
7
8. 2 - Blended Synchronous Learning
Education in which students on location (on-campus)
and remote students (online) simultaneously take
part in the education.
Principles are:
• Strive to offer qualitatively equivalent education for
both student groups
• All students and the teacher should be abel to interact
with each other, by seeing and hearing each other.
This stimulates a feeling of community.
Hagemeijer, R., & Dolfing, R. (2022).
