Ask for help: Can you get assistance (e.g. a student to help monitor the chat, facilitate small groups, etc.?)

If possible: Flip the Class: course content is presented asynchronously; synchronous time is used for critical thinking activities

1. For asynchronous sessions
   • Students access recorded lectures (short) asynchronously. Have quiz questions/reflections associated with material
2. For synchronous sessions: hook the class at the beginning (expect a “product” from them)
   • Break class into small groups
   • Assign and rotate roles (timekeeper, note-taker, summarizer, devil’s advocate, reporter)
   • Can use Whiteboard/Google Docs/etc. for synchronous teamwork
   • You may pop in and out of different groups
   • Bring everyone back together for report-outs, wrap-up, reflections, etc.
3. If giving synchronous lectures,
   • Intersperse formative assessments (Top Hat/Poll Everywhere/Kahoot, etc.)
   • Assign a post-lecture reflection/follow-up activity
   • Consider “weekly” review/tutorial sessions
4. Send weekly updates
   • Reminders of what’s coming up, due dates etc.
5. Manage email
   • Provide clear expectations on response time
   • Send group/topic-based emails
   • Consider having an FAQ
6. Manage office hours
   • Consider “targeted” office hours (topics-based) and invite groups of interested students to join •Record session and make available for those who cannot attend
7. Early evaluations
   • What is working well?
   • Provide 2-3 suggestions on how I can further facilitate your learning
   • Reflect back/discuss with them their responses
