Maintaining communications with students in dual delivery teaching
Jessica Welch and Dr Sarah Frankland discuss practices and strategies they have used to support online and dual delivery teaching.
Duality in teaching modes - blended delivery (online and on-campus) - for students who can attend campus, and wholly online (for students who cannot attend) poses challenges for teaching staff to communicate with students.
In this video, hear Jessica Welch and Dr Sarah Frankland discuss practices and strategies they have used to maintain effective communications with students regardless of their study mode.
This Zoom webinar is part of the Teaching and Learning Seminars series.
