Don’t Panic! Tips for Converting to Distance Learning in a Hurry
▸You are not alone. ▸You will make mistakes. ▸Keep things short to keep students engaged.▸Use on-line teleconference time to work problems.
Do not just plan to lecture.▸Use smaller subgroup meetings rather than attempting
to meet the entire class.▸Faces are an important part of learning. ▸Consider assistive accommodations.

Timeline of Remote Teaching
7
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3+Weeks 1-2: SURVIVAL
Weeks 3+: Advanced Methods of Learning
• Flipped classroom• New techniques
• Make contact with students: Communication is key• Assure students all is going to be ok (for you and them)• Lecture 1: If you can set up a Zoom meeting and wave
and talk = SUCCESS• Talk about changes in assessment and course
outcomes• Understand school rules/needs (e.g. Synchronous
teaching time for financial aid)

Delivering Content, Part 1

Technique Tools Keep in Mind
Live Virtual Classes
• Zoom• Discord• Etc…
• Student situations • Bandwidth• Technical challenges• Use interactive tools like polls
for engagement
Short Video Clips • Your University LMS (i.e. Canvas, Blackboard…)
• YouTube• Vimeo
• One concept per video• Keep it short• Closed captioning
Podcasts • Audacity• SoundCloud
• Audio only
![Page 11: Using eLearning to Support Distance Learning...Using eLearning to Support Distance Learning Dr. Timothy Kurzweg, Penn State University Dr. Russ Meier, Milwaukee School of Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070816/5f0ffd247e708231d446e340/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Delivering Content, Part 2
10
Technique Tools Keep in Mind
Screencasts • Windows 10 Game Bar Screen Recorder
• Mac Screen Record Tool• Camtasia
• Useful to highlight visual concepts• Use to create voiceover
Powerpoints
Readings • Online Textbooks• eBooks• IEEE Xplore Content
• May already be part of your curriculum
• Your current textbook may have an online version
Existing Online Courses
• IEEE eLearning Library• Other online course
providers
• Choose courses with instructors who are qualified/experts
• Peer reviewed content is better• Use portions or assign the whole
course before class discussion

When Choosing Delivery Method, Consider…
▸Does it have to be visual?
▸Do I have to explain it, do they have to DO it, or is reading enough?
▸What do I want them to do with it after they get the information?

Discord (or other gaming platforms)
Google Docs/Microsoft 365
Asynchronous ToolsLMS Discussion Forums
IEEE Collabratec
Google Docs/Microsoft 365
Pro-Tip:If a system like Zoom
gets overloaded, a gaming system like Discord may offer better bandwidth
Pro-Tip:Partner with another teacher when running
live events so one person can monitor the
chat while the other facilitates the discussion

Meeting Student Needs
22
Privacy• Don’t record live
interactive sessions unless you’ve been given permission by students
• Asking a student to film themselves taking an assessment in their homes may be a violation of privacy
Accessibility• Closed captioning or
transcripts of videos should be provided
Home Limitations• Poor bandwidth• Lack of technology• Family members being
home may impact schedule – be flexible
