MODELS OF ELEARNING • Etraining • Distance Education • Blended (or Web Enhanced) Learning Type 1 • Blended (or Web Enhanced) Learning Type 2 • Virtual Classroom Type 1 (Collaborative) • Virtual Classroom Type 2 (Presentational) • The Community of Practice • MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) • Flipped Classroom Source: http://what-is-elearning.wikispaces.com/
- 8. The Extremes • Regular teacher presence • Communication • Community • All or several doing same topic at same time • results in a better, richer, more meaningful learning experience •more likely to result in changed behaviour ie longer term learning • takes more resources (time and $$$) Self-paced, Fully unfacilitated facilitated • good for compliance training eg OHSW) • Can work with highly motivated, more mature learners • Huge drop-out rates
- 9. Guiding Principles • CathyMoore … “Think of your e-learning course as a safe place for students to practice!” • Assessment For Learning (5 key strategies, 1 big idea) • Sharing learning expectations • Questioning • Feedback • Self assessment • Peer assessment Use evidence about learning to adapt instruction to meet learner needs http://www.slideshare.net/ccox888/assessment-for-learning-v2
- 10. COMPONENTS OF ACOURSE • INFORMATION AND CONTENT • INSTRUCTION • TASKS/ACTIVITIES • ASSESSMENT • FEEDBACK
- 11. CONTENT • Bite sized chunks • Clear, concise language • Use media – images, video, audio • Give students the chance to contribute (Moodle: Glossary and Choice tools)
- 12. Instructions • Be clear,concise • Don’t assume understanding (work through the materials as a student; get someone else to check it) • Give instructions that are clear enough so students can work through material when there is no lecturer around eg at home (Moodle tool: Label)
- 13. TASKS/ACTIVITIES/ ASSIGNMENTS • Offer avariety • Use them frequently (“we learn by doing and applying”) • Design some tasks that require students to – collaborate – research Moodle Tools: •Forums •Wiki •Lesson •Quiz •Choice
- 14. FEEDBACK/COMMUNICATION • Provide regularand timely feedback • Don’t just rely on automated feedback provided via the quiz tool • Moodle GRADEBOOK • Ask how students are going • Consider a weekly bulletin
