The following form will serve as your template and guide to preparing to teach concurrently. 

Lesson Plan Template (Class Name) Date: 19/03/2021 Time: 9.00am

Welcome (10 minutes )

  • Class procedures – cameras always on, sound muted, raise hand to speak

Organise breakout rooms and chats between students from all locations (25 minutes)

  • During this time, you should have some time exclusively with on and off campus students 
Class exercise (40 minutes)

  • Develop a series of videos to be inserted into the lesson, could be filmed on your phone at a relevant industry event, display, gallery etc. 
  • Allow students to submit videos of interest. 
  • If the session can be; informative, entertaining and fun – do it, reading and other exercises can be built into the week’s activity in Canvas. 
  • Reminder address all students 
5 minutes to spare 

 

How will you run each session?  

If Canvas is set up properly your class time may become more of a Q&A, ideas sharing, prep session that reinforces what is on Canvas. 

 

What should your Canvas shell include? 

  • Assuming your course already meets the 14 Elements, consider updating to include the further 6 Uplift elements 
  • A Canvas course aligned to all or most of the 20 elements will contain all the information for a student to study remotely, then you use concurrent class time to inform, engage and build relationships between you and the students. 
  • Learning outcomes detailed in the shell and aligned to assessments and rubrics.
