Editor's Notes
- #3: Some of the issues we’ll talk about today
- #5: Will be telling my story: “ Facilitating Online” – open, online course – Otago Polytechnic Bachelor of Midwifery, Griffth University Virtual International Day of the Midwife My own experiences as student using learning as informal learner which was integrated in GCTLT
- #6: Flexible about time I deliver content as well as length of course.
- #8: FO2011 – students have a designated time for the course, but they can have long extensions. They can also do the course as self-directed students because it is in an open environment and then enrol for assessment when they choose Whilst some students like open ended courses, others like a schedule to work to
- #9: Griffith – time frame for completing so more constraints around that *I have to re-consider my attitudes to how my work – freed me to be flexible in my approach to work, so I suit my needs *Have to support students to think about their attitudes to time *time zones, when working with people overseas *Difficult to please all the people all the time – work out what best suits people *Facilitate other methods of content delivery to suit all time zones etc *Implications about workload for me for people finishing all over the place
- #10: Mix of delivery modes.
- #11: Need to think about learning styles – try to keep things exciting and “sexy” . I don’t think so much about learning styles, but more about using a variety of delivery modes.
- #12: Need to think about digital literacy, and people who do not have access to good computers or Internet. Challenge for me, to develop my technology skills
- #13: FO2011. Needing to align delivery of course with institution policies eg enrolment of informal students
- #14: Mix of live and asynchronous – need to think about giving access to students who cannot get to the live session ie recordings Use open content – course materials openly available Re-use of open materials developed my other people eg Nancy White’s work…iFacilitate Griffith – flexible about location, but having issues working through processes about things like moderation and equitable access to resources and learning opportunities.
- #15: FO2011 Explain model of enrolment
- #16: Open entry can be problematic for some courses – you will have to think about how you prepare & support students who have academic challenges
- #17: My experience with CCK2008, transferring in GCTlT & GETTING CREDIT FOR f02007
- #18: Open content-prepares students for when they do prepare eg NZ midwives course Supporting students to move from sponges of content to life-long learners Put content in open environment – sustainable, supporting bigger world of learners
