Synchronous online teaching quality improved with "broad on-slide presence," enhancing instructor expressiveness and slide interaction. This boosts student engagement, knowledge gain, and teacher satisfaction in higher education.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Online Learning Pedagogy
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to synchronous online teaching in higher education.
- Educators faced challenges in replicating traditional classroom presence and maintaining student engagement online.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore methods for enhancing the quality of synchronous online learning.
- To introduce and investigate the concept of "broad on-slide presence".
Main Methods:
- A mixed methods research approach combining quantitative (surveys, structural equation modeling) and qualitative (teacher interviews, discourse analysis) methodologies.
- Four studies were conducted to evaluate the proposed teaching format.
Main Results:
- Significant increases in perceived knowledge gain and attentional engagement among students.
- An improved and more personal student experience was reported.
- Increased teacher satisfaction was observed with the broader on-slide presence approach.
Conclusions:
- Broad on-slide presence, characterized by enhanced instructor expressiveness and slide interaction, positively impacts synchronous online learning.
- This approach benefits both students and instructors, leading to better engagement, learning outcomes, and job satisfaction.
