delivered to remote (off-campus)
location(s) via audio, video (live or
prerecorded), or computer
technologies, including both
synchronous and asynchronous
instruction.”
» National Center for Education Statistics
11. Technologies Used in Distance Education
• The rate of growth of internet use is
currently 2 million new internet users
per month
• More than half the nation is online
• About two-thirds of the population use
computers.

16. State of Online Learning
• In the 2006–07 academic year, 66 percent
of the 4,160 2-year and 4-year Title IV
degree-granting postsecondary institutions
in the U. S. offered college-level distance
education courses.
17. • The overall percentage includes 97% of
public 2-year institutions, 18% of private for-
profit 2-year institutions, 89% of public 4-
year institutions, 53% of private not-for-profit
institutions, and 70% of private for-profit 4-
year institutions.
– SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for
Education Statistics. (2008). Distance Education at Degree-
Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2006-07
18. • In examining the various technologies used
in distance education, Waits and Lewis
(2003) reported that 90 percent of
postsecondary education institutions made
use of asynchronous Internet instruction,
which was the most widespread media for
course delivery.
19. • 2010 – 2015
– Traditional Campus decline from 14.4 to
4.1 million students
– Online classes will grow at a compound
rate of 11.08% (Traditional and Online)
– Exclusively online students will grow at an
annual rate of 23.06%
– IF trend is correct, by 2018 we could see
more online than in physical classroom
20. Learning Theories
• Pedagogy: Study of teaching
(education, attendance on children)
• Andragogy: methods or techniques
used to teach adults
22. Androgogy
• Adults learn when
they see the need
• Adults learn when
they can apply the
lesson
• Adults learn best
when it is based on
their experience
23. The Online Lab
What better way to educate our students
than to meet them where they are. It is
possible for an online student to receive
instruction on Thursday and put it into
practice by Sunday.
24. Our Guiding Concerns
• Equivalent or superior educational
experience in terms of learning
objectives
– teaching the same thing differently
– training for faculty, initial and ongoing
– syllabi review at multiple levels
– means of assessment
25. Our Guiding Concerns
• Theological education as
(trans)formative educational
experience
– the collaborative classroom (Not
correspondence courses)
– students must be fully present/engaged
– discussion forums
– student responses, Virtual to Geophysical
26. Transformations
“Tools of our trade”
Communication patterns
Library utilization
Passive to active learners
Knowledge enablers
Local to global
27. Changing Teaching Tools
Typewriter to computer
Mimeograph to scan-to…
Chalkboard to PowerPoint
PowerPoint to Electronic Whiteboard
Hardware to software to web 2.0
Card catalogs to online databases
28. Benefits of New Tools
Access to more information
Variety
Engage multiple learning styles
Enhanced organization of materials
Anytime, anywhere, with any device
capabilities
29. “We’ll try anything once.”
- Joel Green
former VP for Academic
Affairs/Provost

• Generally passive in nature – meaning
students are not required necessarily
to perform.
• Possibilities
– Web page

the threaded discussion option
– Threaded discussions allow coherent
conversation over a period of time
55. – Give explicit directions

75 words or less in the Discussion Center
explaining why it was necessary to develop the
Nicene Creed and how this affects the church
today. Then reply to two of your classmates
responses.”
56. Expectations
• Feedback and Interaction from you
– Continual feedback in forums, and on
assignments, is VITAL to student’s
success
– Respond to student posts daily - it doesn’t
take much time!
• Prof.’s frequency of response correlate’s with
student’s perception of “successful” class
• Lack of prof. response and posts
communicates that you do not care
• Students will begin to post less then
57. Expectations, cont…
• Feedback and Interaction from student
– State in modules and syllabus that they
are required to interact on a regular basis
• Requires you to create discussion questions
and stimulate conversation in each module
• DO NOT assume this will automatically
happen, it requires planning and direction
– Ask students to give you feedback on a
regular basis - this works!
58. • Course Modules

class
– Modules are designed within a time frame
• Professor sets the time allowed per module
(example: one module per week)
• Necessary for ExL participant’s schedules

62. • Requires frequent online interaction in
smaller amounts of time
– On-campus class: class time = 3
hours/wk (not including office hours,
grading papers, etc…)
– Online class: interact with class once/day
or at least once every other day - time
spent will differ
63. • Same learning “shift” required for
students
– Frequent interaction leads to success
– Unlike some on-campus learning
environments, participation is required!
• Effective communication is the key to
success!
65. Be . . .
• Aware of communication styles
– The verbose
– The quiet
– The “lurker” – Financial Aid problems

ExL participants need to be asked in
the Discussion Center
• Compare to on-campus classes, when
students ask questions the whole class
hears it

– Course modules are the lessons for your
class
– Modules are designed within a time frame
• Professor sets the time allowed per module
(example: one module per week)

Some have jokingly called me a gadget person. However, in comparison to them, I’m not. I have a cell phone, a Windows machine and a Mac. Just won a Kindle at a conference. On the other hand, I do like sensible “gadgets”. Let me tell you a quick story. I grew up in a very religious conservative family. Besides matters of outward appearance, the only thing that set us aside from everyone else was that we didn’t have TV nor did we go to movies. We were taught in our church that TV and movies were evil and to be avoided at all times. I’m not sure I agreed with that perception then; I don’t now. What I have seen, though, is that the Church took a passive approach to TV and movies and allowed them to develop on their own. It’s not a matter of being prudish or backward. It’s a matter of useful technologies. TV is not beyond redemption, but close. I truly believe we, the Church, must redeem the tools in our hands. They may be used for evil purposes today, but we must find a way to use them for good.
