The Right Blend
A bit of reflection on Module 3 of the BlendIt Course by the Consultants-E
By Prof. Jonathan Acu単a-Solano
Self-Discovery #1
 A virtual classroom should not include
more than 14 learners.
 Depending on the system being used, it can
be difficult to handle participation and the use
of VCs features
 When working on breakout rooms (BRs),
help shy students to feel at ease.
 A BR can aid them to feel more comfortable.
 BRs can help to lower their affective filter.
The Virtual Classroom and the
right amount of learners
Self-Discovery #1
 The need to create the right blend for the
VCs atmosphere
 Interacting with shy learners to make them
feel at home
 The first 5-10 minutes before the class kick-off
 The opportunity to socialize with learners
 The creation of the human bond with pupils
 The setting of rules within the VC
 Rules and their explanation
The Virtual Classroom and the
right amount of learners
Self-Discovery #2
 The need for participatory exercises
 Search for hands-on exercises to help
kinesthetic learners
 Search for auditory tasks to have pupils
practice listening and negotiation of meaning
 Search for visual activities to aid students
comprehend and practice better
 Learners need to have a more active role
in VCs and in BRs, too.
