The Language Institute also delivered some courses via multimodal delivery in Fall 2021, Winter 2022, and will offer some select courses in Spring, 2022.
Expectations for participating in the pilot include:
- Faculty participate in data collection (e.g. faculty and student surveys, tracking how students choose to attend class week to week)
- Faculty participate in multi-modal delivery training sessions
Each enhanced classroom will be outfitted with the following equipment:
- video camera(s)
- document camera
- array microphone
- additional monitors to display remote students
Additional classrooms will be equipped with a camera and microphone. In addition, mobile kits will be available. These options will support the evaluation of scalable technical options for multimodal delivery.
