Editor's Notes
- Until recently, the United States has seen of students attending US colleges. According to US news and World Report - International student enrollment has increased 72% from 2000 to 2014. Nearly 5% of all students enrolled in higher-level education in the USA are international students, and the numbers are growing.
- The number of international online enrollemt has also increased significantly -
- We need to examine the areas of webdesign that international learners have the most problems.
- Joo (1999) notes that cultural issues in online courses emerge in the area of content, Web design and the use of media, writing styles and structures, and perceptions of the role of the student and instructor.
- Designing with a difference means taking into account the various dispostion of our students in the classroom.
- Facilitator provides interactive activities to help participants to get to know one another. Facilitator pairs participants off and provide activities that provide critical thinking, reflection, and sharing of ideas. Facilitator provides activities that require small groups to collaborate, solve problems, reflect on experiences. (For example: Content discussions, role playing, debates, jigsaws) Activities are learner designed or learner-led. Discussions begin to go not only where the instructor intends but also where the learner directs them to go. Example: Group presentations, and projects; learner-facilitated discussion.
- Assume that you are working on an LMS platform and trying to adapt an activity that you have or create numerous face-to-face activities online. Create or adapt an online activity that engages learners in an unique way.
