Proposing VSM as a Tool to Compare Synchronic Online Teaching and Face-to-Face Teaching
Abstract
The C19 forces university teachers to turn into the digital world in a short time. Although online teaching has been proven to be a successful approach for learning, the rapid change that we were subjected to make did not leave space for each of us to assess the impact of this change on the student. All that we knew was: We have to teach online. There is no other possible way right now! However, is it ok to teach online?Many educators had already faced this question and provided answers for it from different perspectives. However, the C19 did not give time to find answers. We needed to teach online from scratch, and we had little time to learn technologies and prepare or adapt the lessons online.Nevertheless, after a year of online teaching, there has been time to learn technologies and prepare online lessons. In addition, each of us can collect our data to compare both learning approaches from personal perspectives.Thus, this aims to purpose the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as a lecturer tool to assess educational process from the lecturer’s perspective in both synchronic situations (online vs. face-to-face).The paper explains VSM as a lecturer’s self-assessment tool implementing an example in a specific teaching process. This process belongs to the teaching activities of the author. Therefore, the paper avoids generalizing possible answers to the research question. However, further research will require the results from the implemented tool to obtain a sufficient data set for generalizations.
