Remote delivery poses numerous challenges, particularly for discussion-based classes. Here, we describe a class management model that uses a conversational approach between instructional coleaders to introduce topics and facilitate student discussions. The conversational approach enabled us to model various aspects of the scientific process, such as asking questions and generating hypotheses, aimed at an emergent subject, such as COVID-19. Students' feedback was positive, noting how the class enabled them to connect their existing knowledge with the daily influx of new insights about SARS-CoV-2. While our class focuses on COVID-19-related topics, this model of a conversational style class can be easily implemented for other course topics.

远程对话以提高COVID时代的课堂体验：使用Wingman模型进行共同教学。

远程交付带来了许多挑战，尤其是对于基于讨论的课程。在这里，我们描述了一个班级管理模型，该模型使用了指导性合作者之间的对话方法来介绍主题并促进学生的讨论。对话方法使我们能够对科学过程的各个方面进行建模，例如针对新兴主题（例如COVID-19）提出问题和提出假设。学生们的反馈是积极的，并指出班上的学生如何将他们的现有知识与对SARS-CoV-2的新见解的每日涌入联系起来。虽然我们的课程重点讨论与COVID-19相关的主题，但这种对话风格的课程模型可以轻松地用于其他课程主题。
