Best Practices for Supporting Teaching and Learning Online

(繁體中文)


With online learning now being implemented at the University of Macau, committed teachers are holding classes online with UMMoodle and Zoom. This blog post features some of our colleagues’ tips and best practices. Let’s see what has worked well to support teaching and learning of different disciplines in an online environment.

By Prof. Katrine Wong

Here are a few practices and observations I use and have when it comes to supporting students who are (somewhat) new to online learning. These practices have helped me create a more learner-centred teaching and learning environment, and I have received positive feedback from students in my online courses.



​Learner-Centred Practices​Not-So-Learner-Centred Practices
    ​· Design in-class learning activities that call upon students' h​igher-order thinking skills (HOTS)​
    · ​Focus simply on lecturing and explaining key concepts
    · ​Adapt to an online environment and adjust our content, pedagogy and format
    · ​Copy and migrate content, pedagogy and format from a physical classroom
    · ​Allow space for learners in a class to learn at different paces
    · ​Expect everyone in a class to learn in the same pace
    · ​Design a range of low-stake assessments to monitor learning process
    · ​Rely on end-of-semester projects and/or exams to check learning outcomes
    · ​Take stock of what practices engage learners for future reference when on-campus classes resume
    · ​Revert to lecturer-centred approaches when on-campus classes resume

With the principles listed above, these are some activities I incorporate in my online classes:
