Dual delivery and blended synchronous learning (BSL)
Resources and guidance on teaching dual delivery subjects for both split cohort and blended synchronous learning (BSL) delivery. Includes details on live lectures.
-
Introduction to dual delivery
Dual-delivery subjects are subjects that are taught in two modes: blended delivery (online and campus-based) for students who can attend campus, and entirely online delivery for students who cannot attend campus.
-
Split cohort teaching
Students are timetabled into separate activities (eg on campus tutorial vs online tutorial) depending on whether they can attend campus or not.
-
Live-streamed sessions
Live-streamed sessions bring together groups of remote and campus-based students for less interactive sessions, such as lectures.
-
Planning for live-streamed sessions
Live-streamed sessions enable remote students to attend live by live streaming, rather than waiting for the Lecture Capture recording to become available.
-
Blended synchronous learning (BSL) sessions
Highly interactive, seminar-style sessions. Campus-based and remote students are taught simultaneously, using BSL-enabled venues to bring the cohorts together.
