Article: How About Replacing the In-Person Experience?

This article looks at the concept of 'beyond being there' in online learning.

As we continue to teach digitally, John Mitchell and Maxwell Bigman argue that – instead of replicating in-person experiences – we should be aiming to use technology to allow for opportunities that are impossible in traditional classroom setups.

Borrowing the concept of 'beyond being there' from the human-computer interaction world, and applying it to online learning, the full article, titled ‘How About Replacing the In-Person Experience’, can be accessed at the Tomorrow's Professor site.

Advice within the article includes:

  • avoiding Zoom fatigue
  • the benefit of predictability for students
  • breaking your class down into (mostly asynchronous) pieces
