Flexible Learning Pathway Needs Analysis

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	Course Type	Instructor	Teaching Associates (TO)	In-Person Students	Remote Students	Hybrid Students	Asynchronous Students
2	Large Lecture (100-500 students) with Discussions Sections (some remote; some in-person) for 20-25 students	Provide lectures in real-time to in-person and remote students (also recorded in Echo 360)	Lead either remote or in-person discussion sections in a way that allows students to critically examine and apply their knowledge of lecture material; Serve as bridge between remote students and instructor during lectures	Attend lecture and discussion section in-person	Attend lecture and discussion remotely (online)	Attend lecture in-person and discussion section remotely or vice versa	Watch recording of lecture and a discussion section on own time; complete tasks to make up missed engagement in class (e.g., design a video to show their understanding of lecture); complete discussion section tasks
3	NEEDS	Instructor	Teaching Associates (TO)	In-Person Students	Remote Students	Hybrid Students	Asynchronous Students
4	Teaching Presence	Professional Development (PD) about how to design interactive, engaging, and memorable lectures	PD about how to design interactive, engaging, and memorable in-person or remote discussion sections	Opportunities to ask instructor questions and get feedback in real-time during lecture	Opportunities to ask instructor questions and get feedback in real-time during lecture	Opportunities to ask instructor questions and get feedback in real-time during lecture	Opportunities to ask instructor questions and get feedback asynchronously (e.g., weekly Reddit Ask Me Anything or a google form to collect their Qs that the instructor responds to during lecture)
5	Cognitive Presence		PD about how to support students in critical thinking and application of knowledge (e.g., design-based learning; project-based learning; service learning)	Opportunities to engage in critical thinking and application of knowledge in discussion sections (not just taking tests)	Opportunities to engage in critical thinking and application of knowledge in discussion sections (not just taking tests)	Opportunities to engage in critical thinking and application of knowledge in discussion sections (not just taking tests)	Opportunities to engage in critical thinking and application of knowledge on own time (e.g., completing activities that happen in discussion sections and submitting by the end of the week for feedback)
6	Social Presence		PD about how to build community and support social learning in remote or in-person discussion sections as well as during lectures	Opportunities to interact closely with students in own discussion section as well as students in the larger class	Opportunities to interact closely with students in own discussion section as well as students in the larger class	Opportunities to interact closely with students in own discussion section as well as students in the larger class	Opportunities to interact closely with other asychronous students as well as students in the larger class
7	Technology	Echo 360 lecture capture; real-time formative assessment tools (e.g., PollEverwhere; Google Forms) to collect data and provide immediate feedback; Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop); Microphones for instructors and also to capture students' comments/questions	PD about how to find, evaluate, and use digital tools and apps for teaching; Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop)	Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop)	Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop)	Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop)	Reliable Internet and a personal device (tablet, laptop, or desktop)
8	Incentives/Benefits	Extra TO support; Tech Support; PD; Financial benefit (stipend?)	PD; Opportunity to serve as the facilitator of learning (enhances CV/resume)	Opportunity to engage with instructor and peers (in-person and remote)	Opportunity to engage with course, including instructor and peers, remotely at a distance	Flexibility in not having to attend both lecture and discussion in person	Flexibility in learning on their own time
9	Other Considerations	Evidence shows that lectures are not effective as the only means of teaching; See Why Emergency Online Learning Got Low Grades From Many College Students	Have one small discussion section (5-10) that is recorded for asynchronous students (do students opt-in to the recorded discussion section when signing up for class?) with a TO who is also dedicated to asychronous students who miss lecture and/or discussion in real-time and need to complete make-up work to show their engagement				Needs extra TO or tutor to send weekly reminders, check in often to make sure students aren't falling behind, provide extra support (office hours/1:1 tutoring), build community
