- 2. Outline • Definition • Models • Evidence • Example
- 3. Definition
- 4. Online learning • Online learning involves courses offered by postsecondary institutions that are 100% virtual, excluding massively open online courses. Online learning, or virtual classes offered over the internet, is contrasted with traditional courses taken in a brick-and-mortar school building. Wikipedia
- 5. What online learning should be • Online learning should be • Innovative • Granular • Varied • Interactive • Interesting • Better than traditional models
- 11. Blended learning • Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path, or pace. Wikipedia
- 14. What online learning should not be • Online learning should not be • An online version of the traditional model • Putting handouts online (ie a repository) • A plethora of links to online material • Non-interactive
- 15. Models
- 16. Synchronous • Synchronous learning refers to a learning event in which a group of students are engaging in learning at the same time. Before learning technology allowed for synchronous learning environments, most online education took place through asynchronous learning methods. Wikipedia
- 17. Asynchronous • Asynchronous learning is a general term used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time. It uses resources that facilitate information sharing outside the constraints of time and place among a network of people. Wikipedia
- 18. Advantages of asynchronous learning • Better quality • platforms • material • Convenience • Wider reach across time zones • Rehearsal
- 19. Disadvantages of asynchronous learning • Does not suit all learners • Requires some maturity and independence in the learner • Lack of immediate answers to questions • Lack of immediate feedback to teacher
- 20. Strategies for asynchronous learning • Make the material dynamic • Set clear learning objectives • Pace the material • Create space for collaboration • Provide formative feedback and ad hoc support • Learn from the feedback and change what doesn’t work • Check all your URL links at the start of the semester
- 21. Evidence
- 23. Finally… • Online teaching is not an easy option for the teacher (or the learner) • It is very ‘front-loaded’ and it has to be ‘right’ • You need to learn some new skills: • YouTube • Podcasting • Blogging • You should be willing to share your material
