Table 4 Consensus coding

From: I will teach you here or there, I will try to teach you anywhere: perceived supports and barriers for emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic

Dialogue

     

So one of the challenges there is to prevent students from communicating, but we couldn’t do it with a large class just like we had with Bio 2. One section was over 200 students. So what I had to do was use a trick. ’Cause we were using breakout rooms. Maybe, I’ll come back to that in a different question. But to finish off your question here, I’ve tried at Stanislaus to have 150 students on camera with their microphones, and it worked. Although, three students did drop and have to reconnect. So I found that useful to have pictures of that—all the students taking the exam using either their screen camera, or if they didn’t have a working computer camera, I made them put their phone next to them and theirselves so I could see what their eyes were looking at. –- Kailish
