1. Platform Utilization and Enhancement

• Microsoft Teams and Moodle LMS will continue to be used, but with further improvements to enhance functionality.
• Ensure seamless integration between Teams and Moodle for daily communication, assignment submission, real-time instruction, and interactive feedback.
• Create additional course resources, discussion forums, and quizzes in Moodle to facilitate interaction between students and teachers.
• If necessary, set up class recording functionality to allow students to review lessons at their convenience.

2. Classroom Interaction

• The current model enables real-time interaction, mimicking face-to-face learning. Further improvements include:
• Implementing group discussions (Teams has a breakout room feature) where students can discuss and provide feedback within smaller groups.
• Increasing live class interaction with features such as real-time voting, discussions, and instant feedback sessions.
• Providing clearer technical support for both teachers and students to ensure that network issues do not affect the learning process.

3. Course and Activity Scheduling

• The flexibility of scheduling is a key advantage of Hybrid Synchronous Learning. It will be further enhanced through well-planned course timings, after-class recordings, and online learning schedules to foster student autonomy.
• Consider adjusting class schedules based on student needs, offering different learning times or pacing for students with varying subjects or interests.
• Guide students on how to effectively use course resources, manage their time, and develop self-regulation skills.

4. Increased Cross-Regional Interaction

• Allow students to interact across regions or classes, especially those waiting for student visas, encouraging them to participate in online learning activities.
• Simulate the experience of international students by providing opportunities for them to engage in course discussions and social activities online, preventing learning delays due to geographical separation.
• Consider arranging online academic support meetings to help students address questions after class.

5. Personalization and Differentiation

• For students who need additional support (e.g., language learners or students from diverse backgrounds), offer more personalized resources to assist their learning.
• Provide language support classes and technical assistance sessions to help students better adapt to remote learning modes.
• Offer tutoring sessions or one-on-one support to enhance students’ familiarity with digital tools (e.g., Microsoft Teams and Moodle).

6. Feedback and Improvement

• Regularly collect feedback from both students and teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning model and make timely adjustments.
• Conduct student satisfaction surveys to assess their acceptance of the model, gather feedback, and understand their needs.
• Use teacher feedback to offer additional online teaching tools and resources, improving the overall teaching experience.

7. Ensure Robust Technological Infrastructure

• Ensure that the school’s technological equipment and network can support the model, including smooth audio-video teaching, online exams, and easy access to course materials.
• Provide students with necessary hardware, such as Chromebooks, headsets, and microphones, to ensure that all students can participate in remote learning without technical hindrances.
