Scenarios for learning and teaching for Curriculum Shift 2020

The aim of these scenarios are to suggest how you might adapt the current mode of delivery of your courses in light of LSE Curriculum Shift 2020/21. Each scenario illustrates how you might deliver your courses when students are studying online/both on-campus and online.

Before looking at these scenarios you may find it useful to look at our advice on Preparing for physically-distanced learning and teaching.

Each scenario represents a period of learning from the introduction of a new topic to the output expected of students. Links are made to other sources of guidance and to Laurillard’s (2001) conversational framework for the effective use of learning technologies.

Please feel free to adapt any of these scenarios to suit the context in which you teach and you it may be useful to draw on more than one scenario. If you would like to share any adaptations you make, please email to eden@lse.ac.uk. If you would like further guidance, please contact your Eden Centre departmental adviser.
