Quality Assured Presentation Abstracts

Richard Edwards | EIT, Hawke’s Bay Teacher Educator, School of Education and Social Sciences | redwards@eit.ac.nz So That’s What Blended Teaching and Learning Looks Like – Lessons Catalysed by Lockdown The move to a Level 4 lockdown earlier this year required a shift to online teaching and learning. While challenging at times, the forced shift meant an opportunity to put into practice a range of approaches and strategies that might otherwise have been pushed to one side in favour of what is familiar. Implementing these provided a rich focus for reflecting on my own teaching. This presentation explores a number of the ideas I worked with and how I made sense of them as I implemented them across several classes. The first was the development of a more accurate understanding of the concept of a blended approach that more accurately reflected the idea of ‘blending’. A second idea was the adoption of a flipped classroom approach in which activities aimed at content and skill learning were provided asynchronously and supported by a more tutorial style synchronous gathering (equivalent to a face to face class) facilitated using Zoom. A strategy that received an unexpectedly positive response from students was the development of PowerPoint slideshows with a voice over as a way of providing access to key conceptual ideas. Engagement and interest were high and there were numerous questions and comments that showed good depth of thought. As most of my courses have a practical element, there was a need to enable this to be transferred into students’ bubbles so that they could still benefit from that aspect of the courses. A small amount of creative thinking enabled this to be done effectively in most cases, including some simple practical chemistry and a virtual field trip. Maintaining a focus on clearly identifying intended learning and designing learning activities specifically to support the intended learning were both key to a successful shift to fully online teaching and learning. This was clearly evident both in the way that students engaged with the course and in the comments they made during and after the lockdown. The approaches adopted have acted as a springboard to better teaching and learning now that students are back on campus.
