Emergency Remote Teaching of Technical Drawing During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Hybrid teaching, which combines face-to-face and online teaching, was widely adopted in higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in courses where implementation, experimentation, and practice are core activities. This paper presents observations of teaching effectiveness of a hybrid teaching framework designed within emergency remote teaching (ERT) in a technical drawing course during the pandemic. The objectives of the study are to analyse the teaching effectiveness of the designed framework and to understand its benefits and challenges for improvement of ERT of practice-based courses. Teaching effectiveness is analysed based on students' feedback, students' participation, analysis of students' grades, and instructors' observations. The findings revealed that students' adaption and participation was high and there was a positive correlation between in-class practice and individual learning processes. Most students stated that some of the online teaching activities (e.g. feedback, class notes, answer keys) can be integrated in face-to-face teaching in the future.

A novel instructional design for the course of engineering drawing under the emerging network teaching

“…Establishing teaching resources is the basis of network teaching [6], which directly affects the teaching quality and students' learning effect. In this novel instructional design, we combine abundant and excellent teaching resources, and according to the Super Star Learning Platform, we set up a network of teaching resources for the engineering drawing course.…”
