Remote Learning Strategies with the Side by Side eText

The Side by Side eText offers a remote learning solution for instructional programs delivering online courses. Each copy of the
Side by Side Plus and Side by Side Extra Student Books provides a free access code to its eText version via the Pearson English
Portal. The eText includes: a digital version of every page with instant-access point-of-use audio; easy-to-use tools for navigation,
highlighting, and posting notes; and a FunZone featuring entertaining activities for independent learning. Instructors can use the
eText as the core presentation tool for synchronous online class meetings through screensharing, and they can create classes and
post assignments and notes to students using the eText Instructor Version. Students will need their own access to the eText in order
to participate in asynchronous and independent learning using a computer or tablet device.

The Side by Side eText provides flexible options for remote learning:

• Synchronous instruction is easy, interactive, and fun using a conferencing platform such as Zoom or Google Meet. Instructors
can use screensharing to display the lesson page on students’ devices. Breakout rooms enable the highly interactive pair practice
that is the hallmark of the Side by Side guided conversation methodology.

• Asynchronous learning is an important component of the remote learning experience as students preview on their own activities
and content to prepare for a synchronous class, and then do follow-up activities to reinforce and expand upon the online lesson.
The eText Instructor Version enables teachers to create classes and post assignments, notes, and links for web resources directly
to their students’ eTexts, without the need for an LMS such as Canvas or Blackboard.

• Independent learning is promoted through the easy-to-access embedded audio, course features such as the Side by Side
Gazette, and the unique FunZone digital amusement park that offers informal, self-directed, and flexible learning through motivating
instant-feedback activities, games, and videos. Activity Workbooks with answer keys provide additional self-study resources.

Side by Side eText Audio Program

The complete Audio Program for the course is available in the eText. It provides all conversation, listening, pronunciation, reading,
and Gazette practice. The complete program can be accessed in two ways:

• On eText pages, click or tap the arrow symbol for instant-access audio.
In Vocabulary Preview lessons, you can also click or tap any picture to practice one word at a time.
(On iPad devices, students can use the Download Manager to download each unit’s pages and audio files to the device and use
offline.)
• Using a computer, you can select “Audio Downloads” in the eText Table of Contents to access complete MP3 audio files for each
unit and save them for use on a computer or audio player.

Side by Side eText and FunZone Navigation/Control Symbols

Easy-to-use controls provide access and simple navigation for the eText’s Vocabulary FlashCard practice, audio program, FunZone
activities, and video player.

Key Conferencing Platform Modes for Remote Learning with the Side by Side eText

Share Screen Gallery View Breakout Room

Share Screen
Use a conferencing platform’s screensharing option to display the digital student book pages for all your students. Screensharing is
an excellent mode for instructional steps that depend on students viewing content in the text. (If students have the printed books,
they can also follow along during the lesson.)
You can play audio directly from the eText page by clicking the arrow icons. (Using the Zoom platform, after clicking the Share
button, be sure to select Share computer sound so that students can hear the audio.)
Use the eText’s Hand tool and enlargement tool to focus on the important portion of the page for a particular activity, such as a
dialog, illustration, paragraph of a reading, or exercise. (This is especially helpful to students who access online sessions on a
smartphone or small tablet device.)

Gallery View
Use the Gallery View mode for instructional steps in the Side by Side methodology that are most beneficial when students’ books are
closed, such as initial listening and speaking practice with model conversations, student presentations of dialogs, and group
discussions. Using this mode helps build a sense of community in the online classroom.

Breakout Room
The Breakout Room mode in the Zoom platform is the ideal environment for pair practice that is at the core of the Side by Side
guided conversation methodology. You can pre-assign particular students to work together in pairs (or larger groups), or you can
have the platform assign students to breakout rooms automatically. Before the session, make sure to enable breakout rooms in the
platform’s Account Settings (Meetings tab).
(Instructors using Google Classroom can create classes for students to have discussions and collaborate on tasks and projects.
Google Classroom, WhatsApp, or a private Facebook group can serve as an “office hours” chat room for students to communicate
with instructors to ask questions and seek assistance.)

Documenting Remote Learner Participation
If you are using an LMS or web application such as Canvas, Blackboard, or Google Classroom, you can use the platform to
document student participation and save student work.
As an alternative built-in solution, the Side by Side eText Notes
feature enables students to type answers and messages into
Notes and then send them to the instructor’s email address or
smartphone using the Notes Manager. To do this, the student
creates a Note, saves it, opens the Notes Manager, enters the
eText page on which the Note appears, selects Print, saves it
as a PDF, and then sends it to the instructor as an email or text
message. (Another easy option is for students to copy their
Notes and paste them directly into an email or text message.)
Students’ Notes can include answers to Check-Up Tests,
written work such as Journal responses, and periodic
messages that document hours of participation in remote
learning. Since Notes are saved in the eText (unless the
student deletes them), they can serve as a digital portfolio of
coursework. (By selecting Student Notes in the Notes Manager,
students can save and send their cumulative work for whatever
page ranges they select, including the entire course.)

As a low-tech solution, programs can distribute to students copies of the Side by Side Remote Learner Participation forms. A form for
each unit lists all eText activities. Students indicate the amount of time spent on each activity and any supplemental workbook
practice. They can then simply take a photo of the completed form and send it to the instructor in an email or text message. (The
forms are available as a free downloadable resource for Side by Side Plus here and for Side by Side Extra here.)

Sharing Best Practices

Instructors are invited to send video excerpts of online class sessions that they would be willing to share for a compilation of best
practices using Side by Side in remote learning. Examples of student interaction using a blend of screensharing, Gallery View, and
Breakout Rooms in Zoom are especially welcome. You can make video recordings of online sessions using the platform’s recording
feature. (Zoom Pro account users should store the recordings on the platform’s server rather than using up their computer memory.
The platform provides a link for accessing each saved recording.) If you have your students’ and instructional program’s permission
to share video of your online sessions, please send to: [email protected]

 Strategies for Using the Side by Side eText in Remote Learning Situations
Here are some suggestions for using the Side by Side eText in a blend of remote learning modes of instruction––synchronous online
sessions, and asynchronous and independent learning for preparation prior to these sessions, and for follow-up after.
(Note: For remote learning situations in which synchronous sessions are not possible or many students are unable to attend at
designated times, instructors can use a conferencing platform’s recording feature to produce lesson sessions that can be posted for
students to view flexibly as their schedules permit.)
