Ten tips for teachers who are making the switch to virtual teaching: prepare links in advance, use breakout rooms for engagement, make use of the polls and chat features, provide directions both verbally and in writing, have rules for how students can ask questions, and empathize with students' everyday domestic needs.

"Information flies by in our social media feeds, pops into our private messages and invades our inboxes. Sometimes I feel like I can’t even keep up. On more than one occasion, I’ve shared something, then had to walk it back. I know better, and yet I still fail to be a critical consumer of information." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Training is too often the proverbial hammer in search of nails. It’s an easy check mark to show that action has been taken, assuming that improving individual skills is the core issue that needs to be addressed. But training does not improve diversity. Firms have long relied on diversity training to reduce bias on the job, hiring tests and performance ratings to limit it in recruitment and promotions, and grievance systems to give employees a way to challenge managers … The positive effects of diversity training rarely last beyond a day or two, and a number of studies suggest that it can activate bias or spark a backlash. … That’s why interventions such as targeted college recruitment, mentoring programs, self-managed teams, and task forces have boosted diversity in businesses. Some of the most effective solutions aren’t even designed with diversity in mind. —HBR 2016-07 In another experiment with 10,000 employees of large global corporations, diversity training had little impact where it mattered. We found very little evidence that diversity training affected the behavior of men or white employees overall—the two groups who typically hold the most power in organizations and are often the primary targets of these interventions. —HBR 2019-07-09 Neither does training address unconscious bias, as shown by Donald Clark, even though it continues to be sold and used in many organizations. Unconscious is the wrong target — Apart from the dedicated racist, few will admit to being racist in surveys … As Tony Greenwald, one of the creators of IAT (Implicit Association Test) said, “I see most implicit bias training as window dressing … After 10 years working on this stuff and nobody reporting data, I think the logical conclusions is that if it was working, we would have heard about it.” … Even the people who work in this area warn against the inference that reducing unconscious bias reduces racist or sexist behaviour. Training does not change attitudes. For example, a mandatory education class in Ontario, Canada — complete with videos and health care professionals as advisors — has been useless in getting parents to accept vaccinations for their children. But since it was introduced in 2017, thousands of mothers and fathers have dutifully watched the video, collected their ‘Vaccine Education Certificate — then continued to duck the shots. As one public health manager put it: “We had a zero percent conversion rate.” — National Post 2019-03-15 Training advisors today need a comprehensive view of the performance systems they are supporting. For example, in the case of preparing pilots to fly the Boeing 737 Max, simulator training was likely only part of the issue. Classroom training that promoted rote learning tended to result in rote pilots. Changes in aircraft design needed an understanding of all the resulting effects and perhaps required changes in the regulations for simulation time, checklists, and procedures, which was not done. Yes, the pilots were trained, but was their ability to safely fly this aircraft fully supported by the entire aviation system? Removing barriers to learning should be the role of learning & development professionals. For instance, many organizations block access to resources, reserving critical information to certain departments or levels of authority. Some do not promote time and space for reflection. Often there is little accommodation to actually learn lessons from our collective actions. Increasing the speed of organizational learning should be the new focus. Promoting self-directed learning, supporting social learning, and removing barriers to working and learning, should replace most course development and delivery. The focus should be on increasing insights. So what about diversity training? Improving diversity is not really a learning issue. All the L&D department can do is work to improve diversity in knowledge-sharing, which is just one part of the solution. Related Posts Via LGA |

Wow! This article is so important because we think by providing students with laptops or Ipads that we are closing the digital divide but we are not. We have to make sure students and their families do have the devices and Internet capability to log in, but we also have to train them on how to use the device they have. Low income families stated that during the spring lockdown many of their children could not complete their assignment at home due to lack of Internet access. The next step is making sure digital skills are taught to these students and families who need it in order to complete assignments and log in to virtual classrooms.

I can agree that virtual learning cannot succeed without first training students on how to use devices. Learners need digital skills training in order to use technology effectively. When delivering training to their students' educators need to take learner ages into consideration. In some instances, parents might need training as well in order to take full advantage of virtual learning. I have seen firsthand the frustration students and parents experience in learning new technology . Not everyone has the capacity to learn without training.This is something that administration and educators need to take into consideration before implementing new changes.

COVID-19 impacted the way we meet professionally and educationally. With this article, you can use it as a reference guide to be successful in an online video conferencing environment. It lists all the main features of Zoom and how-to videos on implementing its features. This article is extremely helpful, but some features vary depending on whether you have a BASIC license or a LICENSED account of Zoom.
