is contrasted with traditional courses taken in a brick-and-mortar
school building. Wikipedia

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
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
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
