Description¶

A concrete move from the article: the teacher designed slides with blanks and asked students "to voluntarily help me type out the missing words, phrases or information as I explained verbally to the class". When online students could not hear her, she made a quick decision to have a student type her speech into Chat. These moves positioned students as co-facilitators and kept the online cohort included.
