Abstract
Although the majority of classroom instruction is conducted by a single teacher, practices such as co-teaching or team-teaching have evolved in face-to-face settings to expand the possibilities for delivering learning experiences. (Here “team teaching” refers to any of the various multi-person instructional arrangements for delivering learning experiences.) The online venue offers a new setting for team teaching that presents both challenges and opportunities for creative educators. On the one hand, the challenges include the need to coordinate within the constraints of digital environments while managing what is often a changing and unstable technical infrastructure. On the other hand, the needs connected to attending to complex multi-application and multi-platform configurations can make multi-instructor arrangements both essential and powerful. In this session we will consider the growing variety of models for team teaching online. Each model will be described and examined for its potential to contribute to high impact learning experiences in digital environments. This front-end learner perspective will be complemented by a discussion of the back-end technical means available to support multiple instructors, often in multiple locations and brought in by means of diverse applications.
