Purpose

The purpose of this study is to explore how lesson study (LS) can be transitioned to an online mode, with the purpose to derive recommendations for performing online LS while being loyal to the defining elements of a face-to-face LS.

Design/methodology/approach

A theoretical analysis into the core components and procedures of LS resulted in five big ideas that capture essentials of LS. Using these big ideas, constraints were derived for online LS and a pilot online LS was performed. Data were collected on the process and team members' reflections. The experience in the pilot was mapped against the outcomes of the theoretical analysis.

Findings

Setting up close collaboration and the observation of the online lesson appeared to be the most challenging issues. A set of recommendations in the form of do's and don'ts was derived from the experience.

Practical implications

The set of recommendations can be applied by practitioners who face the challenge of performing LS in an online environment, and can serve as a start for further research in online LS.

Originality/value

The original contribution of the article is the combination of the theoretical analysis of LS combined with the practical experience in the pilot. This gives rise to a framework that can help understanding LS in general and online environments in particular.

在线课程学习：虚拟团队新常态

目的

本研究的目的是探索如何将课程学习（LS）转换为在线模式，目的是在忠实于面对面LS的定义要素的同时，得出进行在线LS的建议。

设计/方法/方法

通过对LS的核心组件和过程进行理论分析，得出了五个捕捉LS本质的重要思想。利用这些大思想，得出了在线LS的约束条件，并进行了在线LS试点。收集了有关流程和团队成员反映的数据。飞行员的经验与理论分析的结果相对应。

发现

建立紧密的合作关系和观察在线课程似乎是最具挑战性的问题。从经验中得出了一些建议，以“做”和“不做”的形式提出。

实际影响

该建议集可供面临在线环境中执行LS挑战的从业人员应用，并且可以作为在线LS进一步研究的起点。

创意/价值

本文的原始贡献是将LS的理论分析与试点的实践经验相结合。这样就形成了一个框架，可以帮助您在一般环境和联机环境中了解LS。
