Team teaching is a process where two or more educators plan lessons and collaborate with each another during teaching sessions. For team teaching to work, educators should be open-minded to new teaching ideas, set common understandings, and build a strong working relationship with one another (Kaplan, 2012).
In this presentation, Han Zhe (Dept of Pharmacy) and Fun Man (Dept of Chemistry) share how they applied online team teaching in the course CM3261 “Environmental Chemistry) for a segment on Toxicology and Infectious Diseases. The presenters discuss their overall experience of applying this approach, the lessons learnt, and how these will potentially be potentially translated into the pedagogical design and implementation of future iterations of the course.
