Tips and tricks for remote teaching

Sean Hampton-Cole, an educational technology specialist, offers this comprehensive list of tips and tricks for remote education:

• The use of an appropriate instructional management system is essential.
• Videos need to be short. 
• Use streaming services sparingly – mostly for interactive sessions.
• Allow students to learn in their own time.
• Be aware of technical issues such as sound in your videos.
• Make videos fun and engaging and don’t sweat the small stuff.
• Resist the temptation to use too many apps.
• Think carefully about using apps focussed on pre-packaged content.
• New types of assessments are possible.
• Allow students to work independently and collaboratively instead of focussing purely on the content.
• Extend and differentiate.
• Provide and gather feedback.
• Be patient.
• Don’t try to do too much. Allow for thinking and reflection time. And off time.
