The hidden curriculum
The development of a virtual exchange usually happens in a bottom-up process: you as teachers jointly discuss the requirements, opportunities and challenges of such a collaboration and co-create a curriculum. During this phase, please stay mindful of implicit and hidden aspects that can impact your interaction in the online space, the group dynamics, and students’ success in your course.
In the online space, your students will need to know and learn
- how to learn in this course
- how to be a student in this formal context
- how to be an expert in this disciplinary context
- how “to play the game” in this learning environment
You can help your students by continuously being clear about your expectations and ceating transparent instructions to handling the course environment, such as the learning management system.
