Some instructors approach remote teaching with trepidation, assuming they have to be innovative in their use of synchronous technologies and produce cinema quality video and outstanding simulations.
Yet all their students want to do is learn, feel connected and feel a sense of ownership of their learning.
At the University of Cape Town in South Africa, the Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning developed a low-tech, high-touch approach to the challenge of remote teaching, which places the emphasis on simplicity, connectedness and directness.
