Top 6 Teaching Strategies Adopted By Higher-ed Institutions Post-Covid

By Hurix | Higher Ed & K-12 Solutions | Comments are Closed | 28 October, 2021 | 3

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to the education system as a whole. With most teaching and learning activities moving online, higher-ed institutions had to think about various solutions to facilitate seamless learning and maintain students’ engagement.

This blog discusses some of these teaching strategies adopted by higher-ed institutions in the post-COVID era.

Six teaching strategies adopted by higher-ed institutions.

1. Collaborative learning

Collaborative learning is a modern teaching method widely adopted by colleges and universities in the post-COVID world where instructors form a group of students and allow them to solve their problems, hold debates/discussions on topics, and clear their queries. This helps students to develop social skills and understand the subject/content faster. 

The key benefit of this teaching strategy is that every student plays a role in the success of a group as they work in collaboration and support each other to reach the desired result, along with learning to communicate with each other.

The strategy also allows learners to develop skills such as active listening and how to work together in a team. It enables them to meet and work with different personalities and get genuine feedback on their work.

2. Technology-based learning

When it comes to online learning, it is essential to leverage technology effectively. Therefore, an increasing number of higher-ed instructors are leveraging technology such as smart boards and webinars to help students learn better. 

One of the advantages of these tools is the flexibility offered by them. For instance, a small smart board can be carried almost anywhere and allows instructors to create a good visualization (various colors, text types, graphs) for the topic being taught for better student understanding. The best part about using these smartboards during webinars is the efficiency and creativity they offer in delivering online course content.

Further, these smartboards, in combination with robust video editing software, allow instructors to edit the entire lecture and send it to students as documents via email.

3. Flipped classroom strategy

A flipped classroom is a popular pedagogical method that is gaining popularity again in the post-COVID world. It refers to one of the vital modern teaching methods where the teaching procedure is flipped.

Unlike traditional teaching methods, in a flipped classroom strategy, learners study new material/content independently and practice the same at college (physically/virtually). Put simply, this method is the reverse of offering content in class and asking students to practice it at home. The main advantage of a flipped classroom teaching strategy is that students get enough time to understand the topic. Further, the strategy also enables students to suggest their ideas related to the content and share them with their peers. 

4. Socializing with students before and after class 

With online learning, socialization- one of the important aspects of learning-is completely missing. That is why many instructors are now adapting the inclusiveness of socialization in online teaching to help learners alleviate the lack of motivation. Among some of the ways they are doing this include-

Virtual hours & interactive forums

Instructors use these virtual hours & interactive forums to start new discussions, giving a space for students to ask questions, submit assignments, etc.

Online meetups

Instructors create online meetups via various online videos concerning services such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Skype. They use this space to discuss student concerns, questions, or suggestions to improve the class.

5. Gamification

Teaching through games is one of the common methods that colleges have adopted in today’s time. Unlike the popular notion that gamification techniques are significant only in the elementary and preschool system, they are equally effective for higher-ed students.

However, the responsibility of making teaching through gamification effective is on instructors as they need to design and plan projects that are most suited for their students.

The need is to incorporate various interesting techniques and gamification strategies to engage students for a longer time. There are several online platforms under gamification, such as online quizzes, games, puzzles, and more for higher-ed students that instructors can take help from. 

6. Mixing a variety of instructional strategies

With online learning getting mainstream in today’s environment, it has become important for instructors to mix things up and use various instructional strategies to keep the students engaged. The availability of technology makes it easy for instructors to create virtual learning environments that allow learners to collaborate and engage just as well as if they were in the classroom.

Online learning instructors use a combination of learning resources and styles, thus creating a blend of traditional learning methods with newer, more collaborative audio and visual tech tools. This makes the content much more interesting and exciting, thus increasing learner engagement. The course, for instance, should have a mix of debates, discussions, collaboration, video and audio clips, and hands-on exercises with text and brief video lectures to keep students engaged throughout.

Some of the other strategies that educators are adopting include-

Dividing the content into short chunks

Lengthy lessons aren’t the best way to engage students in either physical or online classes. Instructors, therefore, are trying and breaking the lesson into 10 or 15-minute short lessons to help students learn effectively.

Using a variety of learning tools

To make lessons interactive and fun, educators use a mix of learning tools such as online resources, templates, slideshows, presentations, and more. 

In conclusion

Using and applying the above-mentioned teaching strategies allow the instructors to transform the overall online teaching experience into a more interactive one that can keep their learners motivated to learn both online and physically during and post COVID-19.
