Technical Workflow for Hybrid Teaching

Below, we recommend a proven didactic method to bridge the gap between the virtual and analog environments.

Step-by-Step Guide for Hybrid Teaching:

  1. Connect your laptop (or tablet) to the internet and the lecture hall equipment (projector, speakers).
  2. Attach your lavalier microphone and test the sound.
  3. Start the video conference in ZOOM or WebEx.
  4. Set up the speaker view (this displays the person currently speaking as a large image for you).
  5. Recommend that online participants also set up the speaker view.
  6. To share your teaching content, select the "Screen Share" option so that the presentation is visible to online participants in the meeting and in the lecture hall via the projector.
  7. If a wireless microphone is not available, the spoken contributions of in-person participants should be repeated by the instructor for online participants.

Tips:

  • When using two screens (e.g., your laptop and the lecture hall PC), check beforehand which screen the projector in the lecture hall displays. You can switch between screen displays using the keyboard shortcut "Windows + P" (or "Cmd + F1" on Mac). It is recommended to drag your teaching content (e.g., PowerPoint presentation) to the screen being projected by the projector. On the other screen, you can display the video tiles of online participants.
  • Online participants can use the comment function to make annotations on the shared content (e.g., PowerPoint presentation).
