Vance Stevens was invited to give a workshop at the First Online Doctoral Seminar Series (May-July, 2020) on “Language, Culture and Society”, organized by the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences, Mohammed V University in Rabat

Here is the 150 word abstract submitted for the event

‘Traditional’ teaching and learning often refers to how these acts were conducted before the arrival of computers, and now that computers are ubiquitous, before the Internet became commonly used in learning. These have allowed teachers to divide their teaching into synchronous and asynchronous components, whether face-to-face or online, in so-called ‘flipped’ and ‘blended’ approaches. Because of the learning curve and technologies involved, not all teachers have been able to equally apply the affordances of technology in learning, but with the sudden closure of schools in time of pandemic it appears that those most capable of adapting have been those already adept at working in blended learning environments. This workshop is about approaches to teaching online that serve to maintain teacher presence and student engagement. The workshop will be conducted in a way that enables its participants to experiment with tools that will help them understand through experience the concepts discussed.

Some notes on the topic Online Language Learning and Teaching

These notes were prepared during negotiation of the topic with the conference organizers:

To be optimally effective, this should be conducted more like a workshop than a lecture. In other words, it would have the greatest impact if I could not just introduce the tools, but if we could actually conduct the workshop using some of the most appropriate tools for engaging learners online.

So a key question is, what are my opportunities for engaging your students in online spaces before the presentation? Ideally it would be good to set up some simple pre-workshop activities so as to flip the event, have them review some materials beforehand, and come prepared for the presentation, and then use distance tools to interact with them during the presentation.

I have been developing my knowledge of tools for online engagement of students beyond http://workshops2020.pbworks.com/ which ended in March. We have been experimenting with these tools in TALIN: Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, https://tinyurl.com/talin2020, where you can see our 30 recorded presentations dealing with this issue since we started encountering school closures in March.

I’m framing my current efforts to engage teachers in online training in such a way that they can carry the same techniques into their online classes. I’m working on a set of articles which I am editing for TESL-EJ based in the SOFLA model of flipped learning and the Community of Inquiry approach, which according to https://coi.athabascau.ca/coi-model/  “represents a process of creating a deep and meaningful (collaborative-constructivist) learning experience through the development of three interdependent elements – social, cognitive and teaching presence.”

I would like to experiment with and model these techniques for the audience in Rabat and work with them a little in advance so that when they arrive at the presentation they would have some grounding in what they would be participating in.

Most recently I have been testing a tool called Miro with others in my CoP (community of practice). We have experimented with it the last two Sundays and I have just completed a blog post on the most recent test two days ago. You can find my findings and the recordings of our work here
https://learning2gether.net/2020/06/28/miro-redux-14th-webheads-weekly-sunday-sandbox-openmic-inar/#conclusions

 

About the audience:

  • About 50 doctoral students attend the Zoom sessions. All students are doing their doctoral research in English and belong to the department of English. Some are already practicing English language teachers.
  • Also, thousands of national and international doctoral students and aspiring junior researchers follow the Live Stream on our Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/Doctoral-Program-Language-Culture-and-Society-FLSHR-UM5R-100952624978994/?modal=admin_todo_tour
  • We can share any reading materials on our Google classroom platform for the students attending on Zoom (eventually they added me to their platform).

 

About Vance’s background in teaching online

At http://vancestevens.com/papers/ you can see all my recent publications and presentation topics

Regarding my current topics into 2020, my recent podcasts give an indication of both my interests and my expertise; here is an index with links to all:
http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/34456755/archiveindex

In January this year I gave a set of workshops on certain aspects of technology-based approaches to writing, on teaching coding in language classes, but focusing in particular on blended learning. I followed this up with an eLearning course in Feb-March which applied the principles of blended learning to the completely online environment, all archived online here, http://workshops2020.pbworks.com/

As this led into a time when schools were starting to close and people were scrambling for insights into applying what I had been teaching to their own immediate needs and contexts, I recorded the moment in this blog post,
https://advanceducation.blogspot.com/2020/04/teacher-training-in-time-of-covid-19.html.

This explains how I started a movement I called TALIN, Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, which has produced two dozen podcasts in the last two months, all indexed with links to the recordings at https://tinyurl.com/talin2020

Meanwhile we are starting our next round of EVO, Electronic Village Online, the online teacher training 5-week sessions which I have helped coordinate for the past 20 years. My most long-running contribution to that effort was a multiliteracies course I taught for ten years, http://goodbyegutenberg.pbworks.com/, but my most recent involvement is on teacher training in games and gamification using Minecraft, and we are about to start our 7th rendition of EVO Minecraft MOOC at http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/.

21:13:37 From Mustapha Mourchid : You print it and it will appear as one page

I had been asked to show the poster I had been sent, but what I had to hand without going into my email for it was the screenshot I had put on the materials I was about to present, here, https://tinyurl.com/vance2020ollt. But the poster was so large that I’d had to make separate screen shots of the top and bottom and stitch them together on that document. The seam in the middle was visible and it would not display in Zoom from my PC as a single poster. The solution was to bring it up on my iPad, connect the iPad via my home wifi to my PC, and from my PC share my iPad screen. There I was able to pinch it down to a size that displayed perfectly in the Zoom window, to everyone’s relief 🙂

This was the wiki which I had created as the portal for the workshop
21:24:41 From Mustapha Mourchid : “Technology has, in turn, moved from supporting instruction to being its focus, as teachers have relied heavily on technology to ensure that learning continues. The immediate future of instruction in the coming academic year remains uncertain; however, technology is likely to continue playing a crucial role in whatever the new normal in education becomes.” (Marshall & Kostka, 2020, forthcoming) Mustapha was quoting from the last paragraph in the article soon to be published here, http://www.tesl-ej.org/wordpress/issues/volume24/ej94/ej94int/

21:31:30 From sana sadiq : Morocco also resorted to school closures starting from the 16th of March. but teaching and Learning continues through distance Learning methods using different platforms: zoom, Google classroom, Microsoft Teams or even whatsapp.
21:32:36 From Mustapha Mourchid : “SOFLA mirrors flipped learning in that work that is completed outside of class now moves to the asynchronous space, and in-class work is completed in synchronous class sessions when the teacher and students’ peers are present.” (Marshall & Kostka, 2020, forthcoming) – from the top of the section on “The SOFLA Framework, http://www.tesl-ej.org/wordpress/issues/volume24/ej94/ej94int/

At around 52 minutes into the video, we are brainstorming tools on the second Mentimeter slide. Participants are articulating their choices in the text chat …
21:58:08 From Mustapha Mourchid : Zoom, Adobe Connect, WebinarJam, etc.
21:58:27 From sarah ibrahimi : zoom, Teams , ppt, google hangouts
21:58:55 From Adil Lakhdar : microsoft teams
21:58:59 From minnie : Hi, nice to meet you, sir, this is wonderful!

21:59:15 From Mustapha Mourchid : Kahoot is about games
21:59:46 From minnie to Vance Stevens – Penang(Privately) : first time here, know you from Han chee
(thanks, Minnie, I didn’t see this during the event, but my regards to Chee – Vance)
21:59:49 From Mustapha Mourchid : Kahoot can be used when teaching children
21:59:50 From Laaribi Manal : No, we’re good.
21:59:52 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : We go on
21:59:55 From Oumaima Elghazali : all good
22:00:06 From sarah ibrahimi : all set

Here, at about 54 minutes into the video, I’d asked the participants if they were ready to move on to Jamboard. There remained some discussion of why PowerPoint might be preferable to Google Slides in the Moroccan context due to bandwidth issues.

22:00:29 From Rabha Sahli : Google Slides is better than PowerPoint, but there is always a problem of connectivity that hinders presenting the content
22:00:56 From Ikram ESEGHIR : offline Tools are more accessible to our students
22:01:25 From sana sadiq : digital divide is a big issue in online teaching
22:02:04 From Astaifi Hicham : I use discord with my students
22:02:04 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : No
22:02:08 From Mustapha Mourchid : There are lots of digital tools that can be used in online learning, but the in Morocco, there are issues that hinder this.
22:02:22 From Mustapha Mourchid : But in Morocco*
22:03:25 From Heike Philp : https://jamboard.google.com/d/1vcJdivdyjDckHLxLFyJ3wCpvkeyq70bmC6ru1HyKF6g/edit?usp=sharing

What we did with Jamboard is here, http://ollt2020.pbworks.com/w/page/140637174/FrontPage#Jamboard
I started us off by presenting the doctoral students with this Jamboard palette and inviting them to complete it:

Now the participants are trying to recall the next steps in the SOFLA model starting with step 4

22:05:34 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : Share-out
22:06:39 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : It is share-out
22:08:03 From Laaribi Manal : Preview and discovery

At 1:04 (an hour and 4 minutes) in the video, I show the breakout mission, step 4 in the SOFLA process, which I had set up in a second frame in Jamboard. Here’s where you can see how it fit in to the sequence of the lesson for today:

Here’s what it looked like when the yellow sticky note was moved aside

2020-07-16jamboard2_1

Beneath the sticky note was the puzzle that the participants would take with them into the breakout rooms. I asked them if they had seen this kind of puzzle before.

22:11:48 From sana sadiq : no
22:11:50 From Lucy Alton : This has been delightful! Thanks so much for announcing it at Teaching and Learning In IsolatioN on Facebook. Sorry I have to leave early. Best wishes to all the teachers and learners everywhere.
22:11:51 From Mustapha Mourchid : No
22:12:01 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : 22
22:12:36 From Mustapha Mourchid : Where is the link?
22:12:37 From Amar FARYAT : 22
22:12:40 From Vance Stevens – Penang : https://www.screencast.com/t/icNhL2kvmsS7
I managed to get this link at 1:07 into the YouTube video
22:12:57 From Heike Philp : yes we got it
22:13:22 From Mustapha Mourchid : Thanks Professor

22:14:42 From minnie : yes
22:14:43 From Mounia El Jaouhari : yes
22:14:43 From Mustapha Mourchid : Yes

The breakout rooms were created at 1:08 in the video. I asked the participants if they were ready to go there (they are replying yes). Some participants called me from the breakout rooms and I joined them until at 1:14 i was called back to plenary. In that move, I arrived there muted. That was a mystery how that happened. But about two minutes went by before Dr. Yamina alerted me to the issue, and I unmuted myself.

After a few minutes I called them back to plenary for Step 5 of the SOFLA process, Share-out; see http://ollt2020.pbworks.com/w/page/140637174/FrontPage#Step5Shareout.

Here they were to give the solution to the problem as they had decided in their break-out groups. By now we are at 1:18 in the video

22:17:53 From sarah ibrahimi : hello can you see the solution to the problem
22:23:26 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : We’re back!

22:31:27 From Mounia El Jaouhari : Congrats Manal!

I was ready to rush on to step 6, but the participants wanted to have the soluton explained, so we used the Jamboard to illustrate our explanation. I started sharing it at 1:20 into the video.

2020-07-17_10-21-11Jamboard2

22:32:42 From Laaribi Manal : 9+ (9*12*3)
22:32:48 From Taha El Hadari : 324
22:32:50 From Adil Errami : why 36? I think there is something wrong
22:33:13 From Laaribi Manal : 9+324=333
22:33:32 From Adil Errami : 12
22:34:27 From Abderrahim El Hilali : Multiplication comes before addition in Rules of Arithmetic Operations

I ask, “Are you happy with that? Any questions,” at 1:29 in the video – and it’s almost 11 at night for me, so we decide to wind things up 🙂
22:35:00 From Mustapha Mourchid : Yes
22:35:03 From Mustapha Mourchid : No questions
22:35:04 From Laaribi Manal : Yes
22:35:12 From Abdelmalek El Morabit : Yes, it’s interesting

22:36:36 From minnie : thank you so much
22:37:11 From Ezzahra Benlahoussine : Should we follow the same order why applying them??

At 1:37 in the YouTube video we jump to steps 6, 7, and 8, the reflection stage, all at once in Lino, see http://ollt2020.pbworks.com/w/page/140637174/FrontPage#Lino, and from there move to a final Q & A session …

22:39:39 From Ezzahra Benlahoussine : Should we follow the same order while applying the eight stages??
22:39:57 From Vance Stevens – Penang : https://flipgrid.com/ollt2020
I had set up a Fliprid for the participants to provide final reflectons, but we had been going almost 2 hours (having fun, but getting hungry)
22:41:59 From Ikram ESEGHIR : Maybe Reflection should come before step 6 because learners should reflect on what has been done bfore Moving forward
22:42:07 From Ezzahra Benlahoussine : Do the eight stages work for all categories of learners? I mean adults, kids…
22:43:03 From Vance Stevens – Penang : http://linoit.com/users/VanceStevens/canvases/OLLT%20Morocco
22:44:32 From Ikram ESEGHIR : What is needed is constructive precise feedback she can use to improve the model

22:48:16 From Heike Philp : its on the 25th
22:48:27 From Ezzahra Benlahoussine : Thank you, Heike Philp
22:48:29 From Mustapha Mourchid : That’s what I am asking about. We need to talk about assessing students online
22:49:04 From Vance Stevens – Penang : http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/
22:49:32 From Rabha Sahli : online assessment is still an issue, especially under these circumstances
22:50:02 From Mustapha Mourchid : But we are talking about online teaching and learning.
22:50:09 From Abderrahim El Hilali : Are there any other techniques that we could use with students with special needs (Dyslexia, Autism Spectrum Disorder)?

I know I did not address a lot of these questions, but they could be asked in the Google Classroom set up for this course, for those who can access it: https://classroom.google.com/c/ODU4OTU1NTk3Mzda

And I did not really model the last 3 steps in the process, but what I had in mind, had we had more time, was in the plan here

And from the series organizers:


What is TALIN?

TALIN stands for Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, https://tinyurl.com/talin2020

The idea for TALIN was prompted by suggestions in numerous cross-fertilizing communities of practice that there was needed a space where members of these CoPs could meet online and talk informally to one another about how they are dealing with changes in their personal and professional contexts and what they are doing to help others in this trying time of pandemic.

Learning2gether can host TALIN events in Zoom during times of isolation/lockdown if they are intended to be recorded and shared with the wider community, and if they take place between 02:00-14:00 UTC

TALIN events here are open to all and free to attend.

If you would like to propose an event or invite others to meet in conversation

  1. Visit this page https://tinyurl.com/talin2020
  2. Click on “Request Edit Access” to the left of your profile picture at the top of the page
  3. Wait for approval
  4. Write in your event on the schedule. Give the time in UTC if you can, and give the time in your location also as a double check on time

You can host the event yourself, but if you want Learning2gether to host it and promote it, please allow enough time to check that I am available, at least a few days in advance.
