However, where this is not possible, students may turn to one another, for example for seminar discussion, provided other mitigating practices remain in place (ventilation, masks, social distancing).<\/p>\n<p>A short (10 minute) discussion among students can then be opened up by using interactive technologies such as polling software to allow students to pool their knowledge and begin a plenary discussion, for which all students will face forward again. The majority of in-person sessions should take place with students positioned back to back or side to side.<\/p>\n<p>Please note:<br \/>\n\u2022 Any activities in which students face each other should be in very small groups (pairs or groups of three) to minimise the overall volume and ensure everyone can contribute.<br \/>\n\u2022 Reminding students of good conversational etiquette, in which people take turns to speak, is essential to minimising the volume of conversations, and thus the projection of aerosol droplets.<br \/>\n\u2022 In rooms with fixed and\/or tiered seating, such discussion may prove difficult, as students are not permitted to change seats.<br \/>\n\u2022 In rooms with mobile seating, the layout of the room must not be changed, and staff must ensure that students maintain social distancing at all times when turning to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advice on managing HyFlex teaching successfully:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Set expectations clearly: what can student joining remotely expect? Will they be in an observer role? Will they be active participants? What are the limits of remote participation?<br \/>\n\u2022 Enable interactive tasks that bring remote and in situ students together, e.g. interactive polls that all can access synchronously<br \/>\n\u2022 If numbers are very uneven and the majority of students is present in one mode (e.g. only one student is joining remotely from quarantine), invite <em>in situ<\/em> students to the online session using their own devices, to enable peer discussion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advice on managing face-to-face teaching successfully: All staff should strive to maximise the amount of time that students are working back to back or side to side, wherever possible.
