Teaching in real time

One method of teaching online is to maintain your class schedule and offer your classes via live video.  This is also called synchronous.  This allows you to continue to offer your traditional lecture at the same day and time, and for your students to interact with you in much the same way they would in your traditional classroom.  The primary method NMC uses for this type of delivery is Webex.  Zoom Meetings is an alternative to Webex.   The steps you will need for this type of delivery are listed below for both Webex and Zoom.

Even though you are still delivering a “live” lecture I would encourage you to explore a more blended approach to teaching.  Please explore the Sample Week or Lesson Online Delivery Structure module in this course.  It has been adapted from ACUE and has great examples of how you can integrate additional online teaching strategies into your courses.

 

 

Alternatives to live lecture

There are many alternatives to live lecture that are worth exploring.

Google has rolled out free advanced hangouts video conferencing for all educational institutions.  Matt has recorded a video exploring this option.
