Interactive Video Classrooms A New Learning
Environment

• Effective teaching in an IVC requires advance
  preparation
• Preparing an IVC course requires re/designing and
  developing materials
• Thinking visually
• Team effort between you, LRS IT/D and OPC

Teaching in an IVC

• Plan for the course
• Syllabus Preparation
• Material Preparation
• Equipment Familiarization
• Initial Class Session
• During Subsequent Class Sessions
• Class Interaction
• Between Class Sessions

Because of the technology...

• Develop Contingency Plan for Equipment / Network
  Problems

Teaching in an IVCActive Students or an Active
Monitor

• visual and auditory stimulation
• apply innovative techniques to assessing student
  participation at the distant site
• adapt instruction accordingly

8
A) Vary what students see.

• Approximately every five minutes
• The PenPal is easy to manipulate
• Ways to manipulate whats on the monitor
• Change the classroom view
• Change the object view
• Change the animation mode

9
B) Vary what students hear.

• Sounds control a viewer's mood and attention
• Sound makes an impact on the viewer.
• Change your tone of voice
• Change the rhythm of your presentation
• Change the presenter
• Have students from different sites speak
• Add unexpected sounds to a presentation

10
C) Vary what students do.

• The IVC classroom is learner-centered, not
  teacher-centered.
• Involve students.
• Ask questions, make comments, give opinions
• Divide students into pairs or groups.
• Assign different tasks and report results.
• No one activity should proceed for very long in
  the IVC without some modification.
• Plan the management of an interactive class
  session before each class.

11
D) Constantly monitor and assess

• Be aware of student participation
• Bring different sites into view
• Have a five minute end of class quiz
• Address students by name
• Direct questions at specific students
• Give time to respond to questions
• Avoid rushing through material
• Provide fill-in-the-blanks handouts

12
Having emphasized the need for variety, visual
and auditory stimulation, and the use of
technology to enhance learning, keep in mind in
planning IVC sessions

• Technology is a tool, not an end
• Movement has a place, but pay attention to how
  you move
• Pay attention to how you look
• Pay attention to how you are perceived

Difference with IVC Lesson Plans

• IVC Lesson Plans are
• timed, and
• linked to visual cues or student activities to
  help overcome "monitor stare" or "glazed gaze.
• This does not mean that IVC instructors must
  limit flexibility in the classroom, but that they
  must be in control of how they use the limited
  time available in each session.

17
A good rule of thumb for making IVC lesson plans
is "active monitor or active students."
18
Guidelines

• Lesson plans are expected to follow the pacing
  schedule established in the advanced syllabus.
• Each class session should include three sections
• Objectives,
• Presentation and
• Review

19
1. Design a display of the day's objectives to
students.

• Objectives should be clear and simple, and stated
  in learning, not teaching, outcomes.

20
2 Design the body of the presentation.

• (Diagram)
• Lesson Outline - guides instructor through lesson
  plan
• Activity - how to develop participation
• Evaluation - instructor and student
• Time - monitors weight of specific item

21
3. Reviewing the day's work
22
4. Design a screen display for the period
immediately preceding the beginning of class
23
5. Determine how and when you are going to check
attendance and homework

Revisions

• To course and materials
• Presentation techniques
• Technology is changing - ties in with materials
