In hybrid and HyFlex setting additional organisational requirements have to be taken into account. It is very useful to have support from teaching assistant/ co-instructor or instructional technologists.
This support include:
- Helping the instructor test equipment and
software ahead of class.
- Monitoring a live chat session. Assisting remote
students and if necessary, offering them help when needed.
- Setting up breakout rooms and visiting them
during small group activities, to ensure that remote students are clear
about what to do, to answer questions, or to gather feedback to share with
the instructor.
- Controlling / moving cameras, if the educator
moves around the physical classroom, the supporting person can zoom or
follow with camera. Also, assistive cameras (following the speaker
movements) can be used.
