- Teaching in Transition, Episode 21: How to Work Around Required Synchronous Teaching
When your institution demands that you hold videoconference classes at the same time as you would have met in person, things can get tricky! Many of the stressors faculty face about videoconferencing fall into three groups: privacy issues, connectivity issues, and engagement. All three of these get worse and impact more students when we have to hold live, real-time course sessions. So what’s a teacher to do? Join Dinur and Adam as we talk about some ways to teach effectively, even when your institution requires synchronous online videoconferencing for your classes.
