• Does your planned lecture simply echo information students are already reading in a textbook? 
• Can your students learn what you are trying to teach by participating in an activity rather than a lecture?
• Can students create something based on what they find to demonstrate their learning (such as a presentation, video, or podcast)?

• Beginning: How did the discussion begin? Was there material that ignited the discussion?
• Participation: Did everyone participate at once? Where some left out? Why? 
• Tangents: Did the conversation include any tangents? Was this welcome or stifled? 
• Supplemental Material: How were resources incorporated into the discussion? Were students expected to prepare in any way? How did they demonstrate (or fail to demonstrate) their preparedness?
• Ending: Was there a summary, synthesis, or take-away message to end the conversation? 

• Provide clear instructions on collaboration expectations
• Suggest tactics students may employ to resolve conflicts that may arise among peers
• Articulate the learning objectives associated with the collaborations so students see the value
• Maintain a presence in collaborations by providing timely feedback
• Integrate micro milestones to keep students on track

• Consider a place in your course where students would receive information passively and seek to transform into moments for students to take action
•  Provide advance notice for active learning activities, especially if they require additional time that students may need to organized on their own
• Amplify exemplars as a way to demonstrate to those who may be struggling 
• Revise instructions when you notice students are not following
• Communicate the structure by which you will assess students’ participation in active learning activities, so they know ahead of time
• Offer summative feedback to the class at the conclusion of the active learning activity 

• Classroom instruction: Instructors will not necessarily know who will attend each class session in person and must develop course elements (e.g., groupwork) with flexibility. 
• Online synchronous instruction: Technology facilitates the live-streaming of classes for online students.
• Online asynchronous instruction: Content is shared via the Learning Management System (LMS) and is made accessible to all students regardless of delivery mode.

• Faculty may be unfamiliar with developing online courses and likely do not have experience creating a learning community for students engaging in multiple delivery modes.
• Faculty may also need to rearrange their working schedules to accommodate interactions with online students

• Faculty can typically assess learning in ways similar to traditional classes.
• Faculty may face greater difficulty in assessing online asynchronous students and may need to rely on alternative practices, such as discussion forums or digital portfolios. Instructors may want to consider developing assessments for all students that specifically keep asynchronous students in mind.

• Instructors of courses in which both in-person and online participation is allowed must help students feel connected regardless of their selected delivery mode.
• In particular, instructors may want to adopt course elements that foster the cohort experience and ensure that asynchronous students, for example, do not disengage from their peers’ learning experience.

• Online instructors cannot simply provide content, but must make sure to more closely monitor student engagement and observe student participation across different activities. 
• Instructors may look to adopt more dynamic activities that promote more active learning, including case studies or simulations. Asynchronous course discussions may particularly benefit from strategies to foster dynamic dialogue, including greater instructor participation or student mediation.

• At the institutional level, consistency in course design across schools or programs will minimize student challenges in adopting to a new course delivery mode. Administrators should develop a common approach to designing new courses and encourage instructors to pre-plan as much of their courses as possible.
• To encourage consistency, all instructors should receive training in delivering multi-modal courses. Additionally, institutions should ensure that quality control procedures are in place to evaluate offerings prior to the new academic year.

• If academic dishonesty is suspected or apparent, the proctor requires the student to immediately stop that activity, and the course instructor is contacted directly via email with the student’s name, timestamp of the incident, and a brief description of what occurred at that time. 
• For all other violations, the student’s session is marked with an indicator that a pop-in occurred. In situations in which the ai raises a false flag, the proctor dismisses the notification and does not disturb the student.
