Presentation alt
- 1. Social Learning as Inclusive Learning: Using Video Conferencing in Distance Learning Rania Eleftheria Kosmidou
- 4. My Question/Intervention: Is Interactive Video conferencing as a teaching and learning tool feasible, effective?
- 5. Resources Interactive Video Conferencing tools Interviews Literature
- 6. My Project and the UK PSF • How students learn • Develop effectivelearning environmentsand approaches tostudentsupport/guidance • Appropriate methods ofteaching and learning • Use and valueappropriate learning technologies • Promote participationand equality ofopportunities • Use evidence-informedapproaches and theoutcomes fromresearch, scholarshipand CPD
- 7. Distance Learning • Why is it important? • It is more inclusive learning • It can reach a wider student audience • It can meet the needs of those learners who are unable to attend on- campus classes • It can involve outside speakers who otherwise would be unavailable
- 8. Problems • Balance between costs (monetary and time) and motivators • Availability of feedback and teacher contact • Access to student support and services • Feelings of isolation and alienation • Lack of experience (in tertiary study and/or studying at a distance) • Lack of (technical) training Mark J.W. and Catherine McLoughlin (2010).

Veletsianos (Ed.), Emerging technologies in distance education (pp. 61- 87: 64). Edmonton: AU Press, Athabasca University.
- 10. Problems/Risks • Know what are the needs for the learner to participate=language or technical requirements. Should have a pre-class informal session to make sure that the learner knows how to use the technology, make sure that everything works, and learn how it works. • It has a cost (equipment/the lines- Internet). • Handwritten/copied materials presentations etc must be well prepared as there might be the risk that they might not be able to read them. • Preparation required: scheduling, confirming attendance. • How to ensure active participation, avoid destructions.
