Here's an example of Hybrid Teaching and Learning in our Hybrid Timetable that involves a couple of Year 12 DGT students undertaking tasks onsite in the classroom, while a few of the Year 13 DGT students are undertaking tasks online from home.
A scenario that I've developed for the students is to complete tasks onsite at school within the VS Code - Code editing software on the classroom workstations, and transferring that code into the Neocities online web development application, so that they can continue working on their web development tasks from home. This requires the students always ensuring that the codes in their Neocities sites is up to date. However, it also allows the students to develop their technical skills in the more complex, industry standard Code editing software when they are in the classroom.
So, the hybrid teaching and learning methods in these contexts includes:
- Online learning for students logging in from home and in the classroom (coding in Neocities) - Online learning is learning that is accessed by the learner via the internet, whether remotely or onsite at school
- Remote learning for students logging in from home (coding in Neocities) - Remote learning is learning that takes place away from school, whether via the internet or paper based
- Face-to-face learning for students logging in from home in the Google Meet, as well as students in the classroom (coding in Neocities) - Face-to-face learning is learning that takes place with the teacher, whether online or in person
- Onsite learning for students in the classroom (coding in VS Code and also Neocities) - Onsite learning is learning that happens at school
The importance of setting up this approach for learners, of using complex software onsite in the classroom, and also software that is available online, is that the learning can continue for the learners regardless of whether they are learning from home, or learning onsite at school. As long as the students have devices and internet access, the learning journey continues.
