Dual Audience Teaching

An item from the folks at the USDLA.  Note that what they describe as dual audience teaching is what is often referred to in the K-12 environment as co-seating or co-located teaching or concurrent teaching or just hybrid learning in many parts of Canada.

‌  ‌  ‌ How do you tackle the style of delivering instruction to a classroom while at the same time delivering instruction online? ADECIA FOR ACADEMICS There are many ideas on this, but one thing required in all of these is, high-quality audio and video. Audio quality plays a critical role in facilitating communication with students – especially in today’s unique environments. With education technology tools to enhance classroom audio, students have shown improved attention, increased classroom participation, fewer discipline issues and improved academic success. Yamaha Unified Communications is dedicated to the advancement of education through quality collaboration solutions.
