Lesson Plan (Sending)
Although many times you might participate in a two-way video where your class are the learners and you are (Receiving), there will be those times where you are the instructor (Sending) to remote learners.
When creating a lesson for two-way video, it is important to plan with interaction in mind. When you are ready to plan, consider preparing a lesson that includes the following:
Learner Outcomes: What do you expect your learners to accomplish?
Methods and Activities: How will you convey the topic (lecture, discussion, hand-on activity)?
Materials: What audio/visual aids, handouts, etc. will you use to support your instruction?
Time: About how much time will it take?
Equipment Cues: Do you need to show a video or play an audio clip?
Notes: Do you need to prepare visuals or get handouts to learners?
After you've completed your lesson plan, review it with the following questions in mind:
How much time is spent in lecture? (Less than 50%, 30% is best)
How much time is spent lecturing? (Less than 20 minutes)
Are breaks included?
Can a remote facilitator or guest lecturer facilitate some of the lesson?
Is rapport established with remote learners?
Do learners know what to expect?
Can any of the lesson be done prior to the video connection (via e-mail, print, World-Wide Web, or remote facilitator)?
What support is needed to make the lesson a success?
Is evaluation time included?
