This page shows all Upcoming Webinars for the course on Creating and Using Blended Learning Classrooms running from Feb 20 through March 11, 2020 and archives these webinars once completed.

 


 

Webinars and Office Hours - Timings

 

The course meets continually for three weeks asynchronously in Schoology and syncrhonously every other day in Webinars and office hours.

  • Webinars happen once a week. Their purpose is to clarify the curriculum for the coming week and get feedback from participants.
  • Office hours happen twice each week between webinars. Their purpose is for the EL Specialist to be available at set times for anyone to come along for help with any course-related issues.. 
    • Webinars and Office hours will normally be recorded. When there are no participants at the office hours, the specialist can record tutorials on how to accomplish the course objectives
    • Office hours can be scheduled on demand at times convenient to any participant if that time is convenient for the instructor. 

 

Here is a visualization of anticipated webinars and consultations; exact timings to be negotiated as the course progresses

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BoG7NzRjwmlj557V4rnaXkiQbSvKiM3FYobwCravYVk/edit?usp=sharing

 

Meetings dates and times were indefinite at first because it was not clear who would join the course. The course was intended to follow on workshops given in Thailand, so it was assumed participants would be from there, and it was decided to go with an 'early evening' time in Thailand (noon UTC). But on the day before the first webinar on 20 Feb, 30 participants had enrolled for the course, and we didn't know where they were from.

 

We asked them in a discussion forum where they were from, but only a few had answered bythe date of the first webinar. However the answers received allowed me to make the visualization at the link above where I could see that we had participants from South America all the way east to Taipei.

 

Therefore a 1400 UTC timing seemed appropriate to all the participants including in Ecuador to join us, and the ones in Asia who were at the first webinar agreed to the later time. So we decided to try 1400 UTC for the first week, and if we see that other times zones are more favorable to participants who are actually turning up.

 

We might change this for weeks 2 and 3, or we can add additional times if there it any demand. You just have to let us know.

Or anticipate DIYLMS in the third week of the course on Blended Learning Classrooms

 

The story of this event in its wider context was related in the form of a digital story. You can find it blogged here:

Here is just the part where Vance Stevens, Jane Chien, and Don Carroll met for a lengthy, 1.5 hour, discussion of our own blended learning classrooms:

This was the 2nd Weekly Webinar for the eLearning course on Creating and Using Blended Learning Classrooms held from Feb 20 to March 11, 2020. In this webinar, Vance Stevens introduced the Week 2 materials on Digital Storytelling. The Webinar was held in Zoom on Wed 26 Feb at 1400 UTC. Jane Chien popped by talk about the course and to clarify how she should complete her Week 1 assignment, which she did by activating her blog, here, https://chienjane.com/2020/02/26/about-jane-chien/ (a.k.a https://chienjane.com/). She's now the third person in the course to complete the week 1 mission

 

Here's a list that's now starting to grow of others completing the first of three missions:

Mon 24 Feb 1400 UTC - 2100 in Bangkok - Second course office hour

 


The video is here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/a6xzmbkmhsg

 

At the opening webinar we decided that 1400 UTC would be a good time for our synchronous events in the coming week. Participants can also request other times in case 1400 UTC is not suitable.

 

You can read more about how this is intended to work here: 

http://workshops2020.pbworks.com/w/page/138546024/Create_Your_Blended_Learning_Classroom#WebinarsandOfficeHours 

 

As explained at the link above, this course has a webinar or office hour every other day for three weeks. We're still in our first week with 40 people registered in the course, a dozen or so interacting in Schoology, but only a handful turning up for synchronous events. This time it was Ti's turn to drop by and show us the Screencast-o-matic she had produced, and we discussed how she can come to grips with her blended learning classroom by setting up her own portal linked to from the one her school provides. From this feedback I've decided to bring that forward in the course and talk about that AND digital storytelling in week 2. 

 

The meeting was held in Zoom

  

 

Sat 22 Feb at 1400 UTC - 2100 Bangkok time - First Office Hour

 


The video is here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gvLqpSB1108

 

The course on How to Create and Use a Blended Learning Classroom held its first "office hour" on Feb 22, 2020. Not sure if anyone would be there, I (Vance) started on time and dived into the back story of how the course came about. Magali from Ecuador appeared soon after and we talked about how the course can cater to her need to learn more about digital storytelling.

 

The meeting took place in Zoom

 

Thu 20 Feb  at noon UTC - 1900 Bangkok time - Opening Webinar

This was the best overview of anticipated webinars and consultations at the time of this webinar.

Many participants had just joined the course and we were just then working out where these people were, so exact timings would be negotiated as the course progresses
