Approaches to dual delivery teaching to support student engagement

Hear an overview of the main approaches to dual delivery teaching and outline some research-informed educational principles to guide the design of activities to engage students in these approaches.

Dual-delivery subjects are those that are taught in two modes: blended delivery (online and campus-based) for students who can attend campus, and entirely online delivery for students who cannot attend campus.

In this video, presenters provide a brief overview of the main approaches to dual delivery teaching (split cohort and blended synchronous) and outline some research-informed educational principles to guide the design of activities to engage students in these approaches.

Presenters also offer some practical strategies and examples for lecturers in various disciplinary teaching and learning contexts.
