学习在线教授 - 在压力下

博士密歇根大学的候选人和教练在突然转向遥远教学中分享了观察

As schools and universities have been closing their physical doors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have had to quickly learn how to conduct classes remotely – often through trial and error.

As part of monthly speakers' series for ProQuest employees, Dawn Kaczmar, a Ph.D. candidate and instructor in the University of Michigan English department, shared with us her observation on the shift to teaching online over the recent weeks.

“如此压力，正如你可能想象的那样，”她说。“教师正在解决技术问题并制作大量错误”，例如忘记在记录讲座时打开麦克风。

“网络教学是在一个特定的技能structors are having to learn on the spot,” she continued. “Often instructors need certification to be able to teach online. Many universities require that and now we’ve all been moved to teaching online. So, we’re trying to help each other in sharing resources.”

Kaczmar解释说，在线教学有两种基本模式：同步和异步。每个人都有一套独特的优点和缺点。

Synchronous and asynchronous teaching online

同步教学意味着在定期预定时间期间，课程继续在虚拟空间中满足缩放或谷歌环聊，并且所有学生都需要参加。这样的设置可以复制课堂讨论或讲座的体验;并秉承正常的例程可以帮助学生 - 和教师 - 有一些正常感。

However, Kaczmar said, “What instructors realized very quickly,” is that when everyone is signed on for classes at the same time, “it can crash the Zoom server.”

因此，许多教师正在与异步教导进行教学，例如记录讲座并将其分发给学生观看或倾听自己的时间。

Rather than using Zoom or another video component, these instructors might rely on a tool like PowerPoint, with a recorded lecture included, as well as discussion boards to replace in-class discussion.

学生的同情是一个首要任务

无论教师如何选择在线课程，Kaczmar都表示，他们都鼓励他们对他们在在线环境中努力导航学习的学生并在全球大流行期间处理日常生活的压力。

她描述了密歇根大学的一些方式让学生的负担。“等级已经改变为”通过“或”没有“不等”而不是给字母等级“，”她说。

“许多教练也是放松课程要求和提供分配的扩展，”Kaczmar继续。“学生正在处理各种意想不到的问题和压力，”她解释说，指出一些学生可能是每天工作的重要工人;有些人正在照顾病人家庭成员，也可能生病;有些人面临突然的财务困境，因为失业或其他资金来源。
