More methods today, inspired by E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden 2 go online!“! Today: Evaluating Flashlight I used to hate it when in in-person workshops everybody was asked to give a statement at the end, about what the most important thing was they learned, or how they liked something, or that kind of thing because on the […]
More methods today, inspired by E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden 2 go online!“! Today: Converting Battle of theories The idea in this method is that students asynchronously read up on certain theories and prepare to defend them against other theories. In a video call, a handful of students than “battle” while the rest takes on roles like […]
More methods today, inspired by E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden 2 go online!“! Today: Informing “Informing” in quotation marks, because that’s what that phase is called in the AVIVO model which underlies the structure of the Methoden 2 go online! collection by EM Schumacher, in other models the same phase might be called something that implies more student […]
More methods today, inspired by E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden 2 go online!“! Today: Assessing previous knowledge Pre-tests Using a virtual voting tool or a tool that allows for very short free-text answers to assess previous knowledge before class starts (or at the very beginning of class) is great for many reasons. Doing a “test” right before […]

She kindly sent me the new “Methoden 2 go online!“* — bringing us tons of methods that are adapted for online use! *this is not a sponsored post, all opinions are my own This set of flashcards is structured in […]
Another method idea from E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden to go” pool of suggestions! Today: a method to end a lesson with. Cheat sheet I’m pretty confident that anyone who has ever written a really good cheat sheet will not actually need it to cheat with later on. Putting together all the relevant information is a condensed […]
More method ideas from E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden to go” pool of suggestions! Today: methods to secure results. Learning walk I’ve been using plenty of virtual “gallery walkes” recently, where students have worked on a joint google slides document (either each on their own slide, or each group on their own slide) and we then go […]
Another method idea from E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden to go” pool of suggestions! Today: a method to apply knowledge. Application cards I really like the idea behind “application cards”: the teacher writes a theory, technical term or other important keyword on one side of flashcards, students then come up with an application, a concrete example or […]
More method ideas from E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden to go” pool of suggestions! Today: methods to discuss content. Amplifier The idea of using an “amplifier” is really simple: after a mini lecture, students are asked to write questions on what they just heard on a piece of paper and hand it to a “lead-learner” or “amplifier”, […]
More method ideas from E.-M. Schumacher’s “Methoden to go” pool of suggestions! Today: methods to acquire knowledge. Learning-speed duo The “learning-speed duo” method works like this: The group is split into two, and everybody in each of the two sub-group gets the same text to read (or exercise to work on) individually. When people finish […]
“Methoden to go” by E.-M. Schumacher, which you see in the picture above, is a handy collection of well- and less-well-known methods for university teaching, organised by the six different phases of a typical session (getting into a topic, learning about a topic, discussing it, applying knowledge, securing results, and ending a lesson). It’s a collection […]
