Episode 4, 'Staff development' with Alexandra Mihai and Maha Bali

This is episode 4, featuring two esteemed guests, Alexandra Mihai, Assistant Professor of Innovation in Higher Education from the University of Maastricht and Maha Bali, Associate Professor of Practice at the Centre for Learning & Teaching at the American University in Cairo. In a free flowing and wide ranging conversation, Dom Pates, James Rutherford and Dr. Ivan Sikora, invited Alexandra and Maha to talk about their views and experiences of supporting teaching in a live hybrid dual delivery mode. They discussed the importance of equity, listening to students all along the way, the need for support in class to manage both audiences, how hybrid teaching works in a problem-based learning modality, the many challenges of hybrid teaching and how to overcome some of them, the need to focus on the teaching practice and the experience of students rather than the technology, the value of co-ordinated support from stakeholders both pedagogical and technical, and how vital is to have a plan B at all times.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode.
