Live Presentations
Share a lesson link instead of code to speed up student access.
Keep students engaged by using an activity slide regularly.
Keep quizzes short for live lessons to avoid delays.
Practice activity slides with students before using them for assessment.
Show videos whole group when possible to save bandwidth and keep everyone in the same place.
If projecting the presentation, make sure to show the student view when a quiz or other student input activity is live to protect student responses.
Use a blank drawing or open-response slide as a back-channel to get responses from every student to every question presented during teaching and monitor participation in real-time.
Switch between Live and student-paced lessons throughout the day.
Student-Paced
Student-Paced
Share student-paced lessons with a link via email or LMS.
Consider where students will be when completing the lesson and make adjustments accordingly.
Give warning slides before an activity that requires peripherals like headphones, pencil and paper, etc.
Remind students to click submit after each quiz or other activity that has the option.
Include a slide near the beginning with an approximate amount of time needed to complete the activity.
Less is best. Keep Student-Paced lessons short to avoid student fatigue and disengagement.
Switch between Live and Student-Paced lessons throughout the day.
