Distance education refers to instruction that occurs when the instructor and student are separated by physical distance and technology is used to connect them. It has several key characteristics, including the use of group activities and visual materials to encourage interaction. However, there are also some common misconceptions about distance education, such as that it is easier or takes less time than traditional education. When implementing distance education, instructors need to provide frequent feedback, be skilled with educational technology, and rethink their teaching practices. Students may face challenges like a lack of interaction, motivation, and student-teacher bonding. Trends in distance education include growing enrollment, personalized learning approaches, gamification, and increased mobile learning.
Seven Principles of Effective Teaching OnlineGeoff Cain
This is an online learning presentation of the seven principles of effective teaching by Chickering. We explore the questions of whether there is a real difference in face-to-face and online teaching and how we implement these principles.
This professional development lesson plan teaches teachers how to use Aurasma, an augmented reality app. In a 30-minute session, teachers will learn the basics of Aurasma, how to create an account and their first Aurasma. They will view an introductory video on using Aurasma in the classroom. Teachers will then go through the process step-by-step, with modeling and practice time, to create their own Aurasma. They will complete a self-reflection on their learning to integrate this knowledge into their classrooms. The goal is for teachers to understand how Aurasma can provide enrichment and extension for their students.
Flexible learning models allow students to learn at different paces, through various modes, and tailor their learning to their interests. This includes both online and blended approaches, with classrooms becoming more student-centered. As technology and digital tools become more prevalent, there is debate around their benefits and whether an asynchronous online model truly meets student needs. Educators are also rethinking curriculum, instruction, professional development, and how learning is demonstrated to better prepare students for 21st century skills and career transitions through competency-based and cross-curricular approaches.
Flexible learning models allow students to learn at any time, in any place, and at any pace. This document discusses the current landscape of flexible learning models including blended, online, cohort, and self-paced options. It also examines the role of teachers in flexible models and how their role may change from instructors to models, diagnosticians, planners, and more. Concerns are raised about whether asynchronous online only models meet student needs and if learning is truly possible anywhere at any time. The top skills employers want are also listed, focusing on teamwork, problem solving, communication, and other soft skills.
Course management systems (CMS) are scalable online platforms that support teaching and learning through communication tools, content delivery, and assessment features. Personal learning environments (PLE) refer to the formal and informal tools students use to gather information, reflect on it, and learn. PLEs often involve bundled web 2.0 applications for research, collaboration, and publishing. Effective learning is situated within an authentic social and cultural context. A study examined student and educator attitudes about CMS and PLEs in facilitating authentic, contextual learning.

Improving Student Retention in Online Learning
Tuesday, June 10, 2014 11:00:00 AM MDT - 12:00:00 PM MDT
Online learning continues to grow and make up a larger percentage of enrollments in higher education. However, over the years, institutions often report higher attrition rates for online courses than traditional face-to-face courses. As enrollments in online courses increase and online learning becomes a larger part of institutions' long-term planning, faculty and administrators are confronted with finding ways to improve retention in online courses and online programs. In this free webinar, presented by Academic Partnerships, the literature on attrition in online learning will be discussed as well as various strategies used to improve student retention in online learning.
This document provides suggestions from a student on ways to make learning more relevant and engaging for students. It suggests that teachers tell stories from their own experiences, invite professionals to speak, discuss current events, facilitate interactions between students at different universities, start online discussions before class, assign group projects to solve real-world problems, and use hypothetical situations to show practical applications. The overall goal is to help students make connections between course content and the real world.

Blended learning has several perceived advantages including enabling 24/7 access to learning materials, supporting longer-term learning retention, and allowing for greater participation in discussions. It can reduce time spent away from work for training by delivering some content online. Blended learning also encourages independent learning through increased flexibility and reuse of media assets across different delivery methods.
Mary is the director of a language school that traditionally uses face-to-face teaching. She wants to transition to online and blended learning but her teachers are uncomfortable with technology. The proposal involves two young teachers, Pierre and Joe, piloting a workshop to teach the staff how to use Google Suite tools like Gmail, Classroom, and Hangouts. They will give an in-class overview and continue instruction online by creating video lessons on how to use the tools for teaching. The goal is to help the teachers and fully transition the school to integrated online learning.
Transforming assessment for learning in a digital ageJisc
David Boud gave a presentation on transforming assessment for learning in a digital age. Some key points:
- Assessment currently focuses too much on certification and compromises learning. Digital technologies could transform assessment but often just replicate old models.
- The digital environment risks locking in primitive views of assessment if not used carefully. It has potential to embed assessment in all learning activities through tools like clickers.
- Assessment should foster long-term, sustainable learning by developing students' informed judgement, helping them become reflexive learners, and forming skills as practitioners.
- Digital technologies afford responsiveness, user control, collaboration, and multi-media feedback. Areas for development include feedback, self-assessment, and collaborative assessment
This document provides a post-activity report for a training on using Google Sheets and Google Forms held at Juan R. Liwag Memorial High School. 14 teachers participated in the virtual training. The purpose was to introduce the teachers to Google Sheets and Forms, show how they differ from Microsoft Excel, and have the teachers create a sample spreadsheet and form. During the activity, the teachers learned how to create an assessment using Google Form and input grades using Google Sheets. The teachers found both tools useful for educational purposes and updating data online. The report recommends that teachers use Google Forms and Sheets to create quizzes, exams, and facilitate grading.

This document discusses incorporating formative assessment and active learning into courses to spend less time grading and more time engaging with students. It recommends using formative assessment techniques like Padlet and Kahoot to get students more actively involved in class. These techniques make material more accessible and build student confidence by removing barriers. Formative assessments help identify concepts students are struggling with so teachers can adjust their lessons and instruction. This leads to improved student evaluations and makes teaching more enjoyable.
Formative assessment involves teachers creating questions to evaluate student understanding from simple to complex concepts. Teachers analyze student responses to gauge understanding and follow up as needed. Students can be actively involved by selecting answers to signal or group responses. Possible challenges include planning question order and content. Formative assessment provides feedback to guide instruction and help students improve, while summative assessment evaluates learning at the end. Teachers use formative assessment to identify areas of weakness and group students to support each other's learning.
This document discusses the author's experience as a special education teacher over 32 years and how technology and lesson planning has changed during that time. It focuses on transitioning lesson plans from eChalk to Google Docs and Google Classroom. The author provides steps to ease this transition and shares the benefits of using Google Classroom such as improved communication, creating and collecting assignments digitally, and staying organized. Objectives of the document are to ease fears about changes in technology, explore the benefits of Google Classroom, learn the basics of how it works, and provide ways to implement it meaningfully in classrooms.
The document provides an agenda for a training on Google Workspace for Education. It discusses various Google Workspace tools including Google Meet, Mail, Chat, Classroom, and new features. It highlights how these tools can help with distance learning by enabling virtual meetings, collaboration, assignment creation and grading, and more. The training will be led by two trainers and aims to empower learning from anywhere.

Group Instructional Feedback TechniqueInga Wheeler
This document describes the Group Instructional Feedback Technique (GIFT), which is used to gather anonymous feedback from students on the strengths and areas for improvement of a class. The 8-step process involves dividing students into small groups, having them discuss what is working/not working and how to improve, then reporting results to identify top priorities. The feedback is intended to help instructors improve their teaching and management styles through open communication and addressing issues before they become problems. The technique works best with 25-100 students and uses a facilitator to ensure honesty and confidentiality in the feedback process.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
