Coding descriptions for relevancy

ThemesDefinitionQuotes
ChoiceThe significance of choice and how it impacted the relevance of their learning in virtual teams“…if it wasn’t relevant, it wasn’t a good experience. I don’t know we weren’t given a lot of choices then, with what needed to happen” (Mackenzie)
NeedsThe kinds of needs those participants had during their virtual team experiences, how they were or were not met and how it impacted relevancy“Not having to worry about travel time. That was wonderful. I really really liked that and it saves a lot of time. It’s so much time. Everyone has their coffee. Everyone has their snacks. No one needs to worry about water bottles. So like a lot of those human needs are obviously taken care of…” (Peyton)
TangibilityThe importance of practical strategies they could walk away with and how the lack of tangible resources impacted relevancy“Professional learning. To be honest, I really have no idea. We had it. We had professional learning, but, like I said, it was really disconnected, and it felt like it was… ‘here’s a shoe figure out how it fits for you with your language learners…’ But it wasn’t like those tangible strategies and there was no follow through” (Bailey)
