When planning a hybrid course, a main concern is how to design the activities in this still relatively unfamiliar format. Hybrid learning is an ever-growing strategy that seeks to provide teachers and students with the best of both worlds by combining face-to-face instruction with asynchronous digital activities and resources that students consult or perform autonomously. When designing a hybrid course, however, one of the main concerns that can arise is how to design the activities in this still relatively unfamiliar format. So, here are seven steps for designing activities in a hybrid course.

How to Prepare course plans in hybrid education:

3. Preparing Course Plans

Next

1. Define the activity Begin by defining which activity would be relevant for the development of competencies or achievement of learning objectives. Advances in technology and the rise of new educational trends have made it possible to implement almost any type of activity we can imagine, as long as we consider that virtual and face-to-face environments must be, by design, connected to each other. Therefore, the activities can be as varied as the course and its objectives merit. Examples of activities include: case analysis, research, debates, projects, presentations, essays and experiments. 2. Break the activity into small steps Breaking down the activity into small steps allows you to identify the general process that the student/s should follow. At this stage, it is crucial to consider all the elements of the teaching-learning process that apply to the activity. These might include: acquire the theoretical knowledge; practise knowledge; gather information; search for solutions; make decisions; assess knowledge; share results; and reflect on own learning (metacognition).

Next

3. Define when and how learning will occur It is now time to reflect and decide on which steps will be carried out under the direct guidance of the teacher and which steps will be carried out outside the classroom with the support of technology. Although we may think this is a simple decision, it can be a tough call for many because it often involves breaking our own paradigms in terms of what is worthwhile for us, as teachers, to say or do within face-to-face sessions. Yet the real challenge arises when we become aware that the hybrid modality involves truly optimising the time spent face to face, while simultaneously attempting to strengthen what the student can learn and achieve without a teacher’s supervision. 4. Generate resources Define, select and/or create the resources that will be useful for the activity, such as documents, readings, videos and tools.

Next

5. Write instructions for the students Armed with the knowledge that multiple elements of an activity will occur outside the classroom without the direct supervision of the teacher, the teacher must provide students with an essential aspect of hybrid: clear and detailed activity instructions. It is recommended you make these available in a digital space of the course. When writing the instructions for an activity, you should provide: • learning objective • modality (individual or collaborative) • instructions on what the student will have to do • sources from which the student can obtain information to carry out the activity (such as book chapters, articles or videos) • expected final product (document, video, live debate, etc) • delivery specifications: format (file extension, font type, length, etc); deadline (date and time); means of delivery (email, cloud service, LMS, etc) • evaluation specifications: evaluation criteria; rubric or checklist that will be used to grade the activity.

GOOD PRACTICES

6. Share the activity and its resources At this stage, you need to place the activity’s instructions and resources within a digital space, thus ensuring that all the materials required to complete the activity are available at all times. 7. Implement and follow up It seems obvious, but it is crucial to communicate (clearly!) to the students where the instructions and resources will be located. Equally crucial is following up on the activity. It is often useful to keep track of the doubts and difficulties that arise in the group in order to determine if the instructions and resources were adequate and thus where they can be improved.

Wordwall is amazing, no doubt about that, but it is still only a resource, a material. Its main aim is to provide opportunities for the students to produce the language. For that reason, in all of the games (for the lack of a better word) described below there is always a differentiation between the material (the actual tool created with wordwall formats) and the activity (how we use it in class).

Hybrid education is a reality that arrived prior to the pandemic but that was established with COVID-19 to stay here, since there were educational institutions that taught distance classes, hybrid or mixed education was not yet established in the way in which it was we met in 2020. Likewise, it is understood as the model that will govern education in the future, but it must be made up to the standards of students, parents and teachers and it is also very important to seek the perfect balance between both worlds: virtuality and in person.

How to integrate tools for Sharing Digital Resources in hybrid education:

4. Sharing Digital Resources

Next

It is important to identify the resources you want to share: The first thing you need to do is identify the digital resources you want to share. These can be documents, images, videos, audio files, presentations, etc. Also, determine how you want to share the resources: There are several ways to share digital resources. You can send them by email, share them through an online storage platform such as Google Drive or Dropbox, or use online collaboration applications such as Trello or Asana.It is also important to make sure you have permission to share: Before sharing any digital resource, it is important to make sure you have permission to do so. If the resource belongs to someone else or a company, you must obtain their authorization to share it. Similarly, it is important to:

  • Organize the resources: Before sharing digital resources, it is important to organize them so that they are easily accessible and understandable to other users. You can create folders to categorize the different types of resources and label them to make them easy to find.

GOOD PRACTICES

  • Share the resources: Once you have organized the resources and have permission to share them, it's time to share them. Make sure to provide clear instructions on how to access the resources and how to use them correctly.
  • Keep the resources updated: If the resources you shared change or are updated, make sure to keep them updated so that users always have access to the most recent information.
  • Communicate with users: It is important to maintain open communication with the users you shared the resources with. You can send periodic emails with updates, respond to questions and comments, and provide additional support if necessary.

How to integrate tools Creating Presentations into hybrid education:

5. Creating presentations

Next

Familiarize yourself well with the tool: Before using a presentation tool, it's important to research it thoroughly. Look for user guides, tutorials, and reviews online to get an idea of how the tool works and what features it offers. It is helpful to find a template. This one simple action saves you an enormous amount of time and effort. Once you have the right template, customize it to suit your needs. Don't overload your slides: Avoid adding too much text on your presentation slides. Students should be able to read the text on the slide within a few seconds. Avoid overusing animations, transitions, and special effects. These can be distracting and take away from the message you are trying to convey. Interactive activities and visuals: Presentation tools can be used to create interactive activities that engage students in the learning process. For example, teachers can create quizzes or games using presentation tools to test students' knowledge. Visuals like images, videos, and infographics are more engaging than text. Use visuals that are relevant to the topic.

GOOD PRACTICES

  • Use your presentations in-class and online: In hybrid education, you can use presentations in both in-person and online sessions. Make them available to the students after class, so that the presentations can support their learning. You can also have students present their work in class or share their presentations online through a video conferencing tool.
  • Assign presentation projects to students: Assign students presentation projects where they have to present relevant topics to the rest of the class. This way they engage with the topics directly and provide for more interactive classes, where students also learn practical skills.

• Which one is correct? Spelling Materials: Flashcards, double-sided, with visuals and correct and incorrect spelling of the word Places in the city or a quiz with a similar idea, for example this one Superminds 5, Read and choose Activities: Kids read both versions and choose the correct one. With the flashcards the teacher is flipping the cards back and forth, I use it mostly with my 1-1s. With groups the quiz version works better and it can turn into a proper quiz, with the kids writing the answers down. • Song support Materials: Match, for example Pete the Cat, Rocking in my school shoes or As quiet as a mouse Activity: We use the cards or the matching activity to sing the song, slowly, with pauses, to practise and to revise before the actual video / track. The set such as the one for the ‘As quiet as a mouse’ can be used to start creating own versions of the song as kids have only the animals and they can (if they are ready) to come up with their own adjectives.

Moodle forums are a great place to have asynchronous class discussions, but they do require more time for students to complete than participating in a traditional classroom discussion. It’s better to ask students to respond to 2-3 of their peers’ forum posts rather than everyone’s forum post. Consider the time it takes for certain activities.Indicate the type of activity or resource before each title. This helps with the visual organization of your content on the page. Arrange your items in the same order for each topic/section/week as much as possible. Use clear and concise language to describe how students will create assignments and submit them. Explore the platform to the fullest!

The video conferencing platform Zoom has several tools and features to enhance the online educational experience. One of them is the option to recommend an activity in separate rooms between teachers and students, which can help break the ice and encourage interaction among participants. For example, a presentation activity can be proposed in which students are divided into small groups and share their names, interests, and educational goals. In this way, students can get to know each other better and feel more comfortable participating in the online class. Additionally, this feature can help teachers get to know their students better and tailor their teaching to their needs and preferences. Zoom also offers a variety of tools to encourage student participation and engagement during online sessions. Some of these tools include the ability to share screens, use virtual whiteboards to collaborate in real time, and conduct online polls or quizzes to assess students' understanding. Additionally, Zoom allows for the recording of sessions so that students can review the content later, which can be useful for those who cannot attend in real time or for reviewing important topics. You can practice using the shared link.

Assessment for this activity will be based on the following:
  • Completeness and accuracy of the information presented
  • Creativity and use of Coggle features to enhance the mind map
  • Overall effectiveness of the mind map in conveying the intended message
  • Ability to effectively organize and categorize information using a visual aid
To assess the use of the practices mentioned in hybrid classrooms, the following methods can be used:
  • Surveys: Teachers can be asked about the ease of use, the effectiveness of the tool for designing lesson plans, and the impact it has on student learning outcomes. Students can be asked about their engagement with the materials created on Canva and how it helped them understand the content better.
  • Observations: Observations of classroom sessions where the practices are used can provide valuable insights into their effectiveness.
  • Portfolios: Creating portfolios of student work can help teachers evaluate how effectively the practices was used in the classroom. Portfolios can include samples of student work such as presentations, videos, and design thinking projects. The portfolios can be evaluated based on the quality of the work, how well students were able to understand the content, and how effectively the learning outcomes were met.
