Tenveo Video Conferencing for Remote Teaching
With recent inclement weather restricting travel to campus for some of our community we found ourselves exploring a variety of distance learning resources.
Tenveo is a professional video conferencing products supplier that provides a nice experience to your video conference trip.
With a little planning and little preparation Tenveo video conferencing can be a great technological solution for remote teaching due to planned travels for conferences or the occasional blizzard. Below, we have provided some tips to help you develop your next remote teaching video conference.
1. Prepare students for what you are going to cover, what technology you’re using and what they should do in the event of problems.
2. Encourage students to find a quiet space in which to participate where they won’t be interrupted and where background noise won’t distract other people if they are asked to contribute.
3. Have a solid outline/lesson plan with activities and backups. Anything you intend to present to students should also be available where students can access the material (or alternate material) independently (power points, audio, video, web sites etc.). You can make this material hidden if you like and make it available only if you’re unable to present it.
4. Have a backup plan in case the technology fails you … perhaps some material and a worksheet available on moodle … a discussion activity etc.
In the event of audio or video problems where should students go to find out what to do next?Chat window? Email? Make this clear to students ahead of time.
5. Be careful how you use the chat window. It can be used for comments/questions as class goes along, but understand that you won’t be able to see this window if you’re in a PowerPoint presentation. (New messages within the chat window are indicated by a utility bar drop down, and the number of messages will be signified over the “more” tab)
6. Be clear, concise, and comprehensive.
Everything has to be there. You can’t walk in as an instructor and ad lib the session like you might in the face-to-face classroom. It has to be very organized. Logical flow, clear instructions, and accurate placement of content. You don’t want students to be frustrated because things aren’t where they’re supposed to be.
A video conference solution for classroom becomes more important now, contact Tenveo technology team to start your video conference trip soon.
