DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
While conducting technological assisted sessions we recommend you to consider the following aspects, in order to have and provide the best possible experience to your students.
· Do not broadcast theoretical classes
· Redesign the “class”
o Organise the virtual space
. By weeks, classes, themes, topics
. Elaborate a student guide, for him to know what to be expected from him, identifying goals and defining the online workflow.
. Diversify study elements, through:
· Readings
· Films (5 to 6 min)
· Audio recordings (short)
· Activities and tasks (individual and group)
· Discussions (peer forum)
· Evaluation e self-evaluation (testes de correção automática, essays)
. Provide feedback by “being there” and promoting discussion in the proper places.
o Conceive a learning sequence, to facilitate its production, such as:
. Presentation > recommended reading + forum > task > feedback;
. Task > content > forum + Q&A videoconference > task submission;
. Film + content > forum > self-evaluation > Q&A videoconference > task submission;
. Short film + supporting content > task > forum + Q&A videoconference > task submission;
o Divide contents (both in dimension and length) to promote a better acquisition and access. In films, seek not to exceed the 5 minute mark, spreading the content by topic, in several films;
o Avoid sending heavy documents to network (lengthy films, high resolution imagery);
o Diversify the use of tools;
o Promote flexibility by reducing live interaction (videoconference) and using asynchronous communication instead (forums).
o Use live interactions to make the experience more human.
