Pedagogical Design and Development of Training Systems in the Context of a Pandemic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The insidious spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to containment measures in Canada and many other countries, requiring teachers of all levels to engage in distance education. As a result, the Quebec Ministry of Education tasked Université TÉLUQ with creating a distance education program to train the province's teachers to teach remotely. The goal was to determine how to quickly prepare educators from different levels and grades to move from in-person to remote instruction. For this workshop, I will therefore discuss the process involved in creating the J'enseigne à distance [I teach remotely] program and free asynchronous online course that requires no registration but includes an accreditation option. J'enseigne à distance comprises four microprograms: "support," "disseminate," "adapt" and "assess" as well as support (for higher education) including webinars, a toolbox and a glossary specifically designed to help teachers adapt to the remote teaching environment. I will highlight the changes the project is currently undergoing, the collaborations underway to adapt the training to the specific educational levels, and the difficulties that had to be overcome in an emergency and telework context. Lastly, I will share attendance data as well as the perceived benefits and limitations of this kind of training.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
