CARD DECK
What is it?
With the Covid-19 pandemic, online education has gained momentum. The TALON Online Education Card Deck is designed to help you start a conversation about teaching and learning in the digital classroom.
The card deck builds on extensive research on online education - and the Voices collected to highlight the possibilities and challenges of teaching and learning remotely.
Who is it for?
Faculty interested in advancing online education - and their own teaching practice.
What can it do?
The card deck helps you spark a discussion about digital pedagogy - and it supports reflection on your own teaching.
The cards pose questions about online education ranging from “What equipment is needed for effective online teaching?” to “What makes a happy online learning space?” and “Is online learning here to stay?”.
They can be used like a ‘classic’ card game, played with two or more players, or solo, as a single player. While we list a few ways to play the game below, there are many more possibilities. Please adapt as you see fit to suit your context and circumstances.
- Pick a card and answer the question without thinking too much. Let the unconscious speak!
- Write down your answer. Written answers can be collected and shared anonymously. Can you guess who said what?
- Collectively answer a question. Develop solutions and imaginaries. Prompt a wider discussion.
- Respond creatively and playfully to questions by creating a collage, poem, dance, painting... Exhibit and celebrate.
- ...
We encourage you to develop and add your own questions. Share with your colleagues - and us on Twitter @talon_cloud using the hashtag #TALONcarddeck.
