Wi-Fi, telepresence robot
The teacher is not able to be on site and joins via telepresence robot and guides the students in class.
In MTR we approach all classes with a Flipped Classroom and students have access to all the information they need online and can prepare before classes. In the basic structure of a “flipped classroom,” the students first engage the content online (through readings, video lectures, or podcasts), then come to class for the guided practice. Real-world situations. The teacher then guides them in class and follows their progress in class. Is present and available for the students.

Teacher’s Reflection: With the use of Moodle and the flipped classroom approach most problems are addressed before the class and students come prepared for the class
Student’s Reflection: “Nice to have access to the teacher and having him present in this way when he is not able to be physically onsite”
– Why did you decide to use TRs? So, the students have the teacher present in class.
– How did the TRs inform your lesson plan? There is no change in the lesson plan. The TR is a tool to be present
– What shifts or stretches are you making regarding the TRs? There is plenty of space in the classroom for the TR to move around but that is something that must be addressed beforehand, and the classroom must be prepared for the TR to have access and be able to move around uninterrupted.
Lesson Plan Evaluation:
The use of TR’s has allowed for experts that are not onsite to attend classes with students. Be present for hands on teaching scenarios. Participate in the class, motivate the students that are onsite, follow their progress and be as accessible to the students as possible. The use of TR’s in MTR works very well in a Flipped classroom setting so there is really no change in the teaching methods from using the TR or being onsite.
