Course Content
Intro
This module aims to equip practitioners with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to facilitate hybrid sessions with stationary and remote participants at the same time in a variety of different contexts and settings. As was mentioned in a previous module hybrid learning offers plenty of benefits: more flexibility for teachers and users, accessibility for the various groups of potential learners, or affordability to enumerate the most important ones. At the same time facilitating workshops in a hybrid space can be challenging – in fact, the facilitator needs to conduct two parallel meetings – one for the face-to-face learners and one for an online group. It is worth underlining that hybrid spaces are not only about the technology that we use but also about communication between people, their behaviours, engagement, and motivation.

Moderating Hybrid Activities
The aim of this module is to equip facilitators with the knowledge, competencies, and skills necessary to conduct hybrid meetings. In the previous module, you could learn about the importance of preparations and the power of communication. In this module, you will have to deal with three major challenges related to working in a hybrid space, such as maintaining motivation, engagement, and visibility.

Monitoring Hybrid Collaboration
The aim of this module is to present the tools and good practices that will enable you to monitor activities and collaboration in the hybrid environment as well as create and read teams. It refers you to the previous modules and the content related to building and maintaining motivation and engagement. You will also get familiar with the term of the organizational culture which is the crucial element of the monitoring activities.

What do we miss?
When teaching in a hybrid space, you will need to devote your attention to many different aspects and not lose sight of the main purpose of the meeting. This means that you may miss some important details.

Creating Hybrid Teams 

THEORETICAL PART

 

In the process of creating hybrid teams, it depends on what technical capabilities we have at our disposal and what objectives we want to achieve. We can use the natural division of the group over two sub-teams: zoomie and roomie. Both groups can identify their spokespeople in the group work to represent the results of their work. If we have the technical capacity, we can create mixed groups, as well as pairs made up of on-site and remote participants. 

The specific nature of the participation (remote, onsite) should not be the only factor in determining how the teams will be structured. You will surely remember from the first session that a group is not yet a team, so it will be crucial to continue developing the group, animating interactions between its members (including informal ones), and encouraging further collaboration. It is also worth noting that activities in a hybrid environment should be easy to both define and implement. 

Collaborative activities are helpful in team building. One of the most effective factors in motivating a group to work and integrate its members is games. Again – depending on what kind of infrastructure you have at your disposal, and the needs and competencies of the individual participants, you can propose a tournament of very simple games (bingo, knowledge tournaments, puns) to more complex ones – like  the Fortnite game on the console. 

Some examples of the interesting games can be found below. 

 

ACTIVITIES 

 

Quiz show – In this popular virtual team event, teams go head-to-head to win rounds based on popular television quiz shows. You can prepare one on your own or use ready templates and applications. 

Here are the examples: 

Random Trivia Generator –  Simply select a host to share their screen with the group to display trivial questions: https://www.randomtriviagenerator.com/

Jeopardy – The show is a quiz competition that reverses the traditional question-and-answer format of many quiz shows. Rather than being given questions, contestants are instead given general knowledge clues in the form of answers and they must identify the person, place, thing, or idea that the clue describes, phrasing each response in the form of a question.

Charades 

https://skribbl.io/ is a free online multiplayer drawing and guessing pictionary game. A normal game consists of a few rounds, where every round a player has to draw their chosen word and others have to guess it to gain points!

Acted Charades 

While conducting the hybrid activities you may notice that the communication and body language expression may be a little bit different than during the regular activities. You may speak a little bit louder and your gestures will be more expressive. A little bit like old, silent cinema, isn’t it? Try to use this experience in a charade. 

Recommended number of players: 10-15 (two teams)

Goal: Convey the movie name given by the opposite team to your teammates by enacting and guessing the movie name correctly when your teammate enacts.

How to play:

Step 1: A player from one team is chosen by the other team and given a movie name.

Step 2: The player enacts the movie name and tries to convey it to his teammates without talking or pointing out  any objects.

Step 3: If the team succeeds  in finding the movie name they win a point, if not the opposite team wins a point.

Step 4: Continue steps ( 1-3) The team with the highest score wins the game.
