Ways of teaching remotely

We've developed this section to help you think about how to teach online. The page includes a few simple recommendations — to focus on the pedagogy rather than the platform, to take advantage of each platform's interactivity, and to use this moment as an opportunity to innovate.

 

1. Take breaks. Sitting in a chair and looking at a screen for more than 60 min. intervals should be avoided. Consider permitting students to “stretch” every 20–30 minutes for 30 seconds.

 

2. Preserve studio culture. During studio time, encourage students to meet with other students when not meeting with the instructor. Consider using Zoom break-out rooms.

3. Share work. Whenever possible, make assignments viewable by all students.

4. Give equal time. Each student should be allotted the same amount of time to meet with an instructor.

5. Routine, routine, routine. Avoid spontaneous changes in schedule.

6. Participation. Digitally annotate using Zoom’s Whiteboards feature. Allow others in the session to annotate on the same board to share ideas and problem-solving methods. A tablet is useful for handwriting.

7. Prepare. Put your slides in a consistent, easily distributed format (e.g., pdf). To save time, consider premade templates, such as SlidesCarnival for Google Sheets and PowerPoint, or Behance for Keynote templates.

8. Accessibility. There are likely students in your course with learning or sensory disabilities. Rather than asking these students to identify themselves to you, employ accessible practices such as images with text descriptions, transcripts of Zoom video chat, and layer in additional processing time during your lectures.

9. Broaden the conversation. Consider inviting guests from institutions around the world for impromptu desk crits, lectures, and final reviews.
