Instructional suggestions for implementing emergency remote teaching

Abstract

With the purpose of supporting teachers in the transition towards emergency remote teaching, some members of the Network for Educational Innovation (Red de Innovación Educativa 360 or (RIE360) have prepared a series of recommendations related to instructional or didactic aspects for these moments in which it is crucial to maintain an innovative look at teaching preparation. We select specific aspects of online education that have been key for favorable results in this transition to the emergency remote education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instructional issues, such as establishing learning goals, planning teaching strategies, and using active learning methods at a distance are covered. Likewise, ideas on how to support students with limited access to digital devices and/or connectivity, to stimulate student engagement and participation, and to provide tutoring, all in order to achieve meaningful learning and teaching, are also covered.
