Talk to me, Goose: Evaluating an Electronic Synchronous Multi-Site (e-SyMS) learning environment

• In Event: DDL- Asynchronous Support in Online Learning (h)

Short Description

First posited in 2019, the Electronic Synchronous Multi-Site (e-SyMS) model recommends configuration strategies, individual roles, and pedagogical practices to support synchronous video engagement for learning. The e-SyMS configuration presents a pilot room with one or more wing rooms and users “in the wild,” which requires roles related to instruction, facilitation, and support. This presentation reflects on these recommendations, including pedagogical strategies, after constructing a pilot room to support e-SyMS and teaching a course in the facility.
