1) Distance education faces a threat from the rise of e-learning as technology-enhanced teaching (ELTET) within conventional universities, as it shifts resources away from distance education's social mandate of increasing access. 2) ELTET prioritizes on-campus learning and is organized differently from distance education in a way that clashes with distance education's managed, team-based approach that ensures quality and sustainability. 3) For distance education to maintain its status and social goals, it must cultivate support within universities, clearly differentiate itself from ELTET, and ensure its organizational model emphasizes lifelong learning rather than just technology-enhanced courses.

Learning Objects and Web 2.0: Technologies in Search of Pedagogy
The document discusses learning objects and Web 2.0 technologies from the perspective of an outsider to educational technology. It argues that learning objects and Web 2.0 are technologies in search of educational purpose that emerged without an initial educational goal. While these technologies could enable learner-centered education, formal education systems are primarily credential-driven and developing and sharing online content faces barriers. The document suggests a pragmatic approach is needed to harness technical benefits without requiring a full pedagogical transformation, and that educational change should be driven by identified needs rather than new technologies.
The Future of Distance Education
The document discusses the history and future of distance education. It notes that while distance education has roots in the 18th century, the practice has not changed much in the last 10 years. However, it is poised to undergo radical changes due to evolving technologies and learners. The future of distance education may involve more social and collaborative online learning environments that develop knowledge and understanding through participation.
Understanding Learning Networks
The document discusses the rise of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential applications for learning networks and personalized learning environments. It explores how these new technologies enable more collaborative, immersive, and learner-centered forms of learning compared to traditional online learning models. The document raises questions about how educational institutions should respond to support these new forms of informal, networked, and interest-driven learning.

Lo teaching techniques
This document discusses different techniques for online teaching according to the level of student interaction. It describes one-alone techniques where students learn on their own from online resources. One-to-one techniques involve communication between one student and teacher, such as learning contracts. One-to-many techniques have communication from one source to multiple people, like lectures. Many-to-many techniques feature interaction between many students, through debates, simulations, and discussion groups. Effective online teaching requires using technical resources and guidance from an instructor to support collaborative learning.
OCC2011 Keynotes: Alan Bruce
This document summarizes Dr. Alan Bruce Eden's presentation on schooling and education reform given at the Open Classroom Conference in Athens. It discusses the need to question assumptions about education systems, investigate issues of power and control, and assert the transformative potential of technology. It also examines challenges like the changing nature of work due to globalization and emphasizes the importance of innovation, creativity, collaboration, and leadership in education reform.
Modern approach in teaching
The document discusses modern approaches to teaching, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism. It describes connectivism as a learning theory based on the premise that knowledge exists within systems and is accessed through participation. Connectivism views learning as creating connections within a network, where knowledge can reside outside of individuals. The principles of connectivism include that learning rests in diverse opinions and connecting information sources, and that the ability to see connections is a core skill. Connectivism learning activities aim for currency of knowledge and see decision-making as part of learning. Examples of media used in connectivism are provided such as social networks, forums, blogs, and portals.

- A project is proposed to assess students' current digital literacy, develop an approach to address weaknesses, implement a trial program, and refine the approach for broader use. The goal is to prepare students for study, work, and life in a digital world.
- Challenges include variable student digital skill levels and entrenched expectations of traditional learning. Examples of successful students embracing new approaches through blogging and online sharing are provided.
Eportfolios as Collaborative Learning Spaces
Individuals benefit from ongoing and professional development through formal and informal learning experiences but are often offered limited support to manage the evidence of their learning for future uses (eg for such things as applying for a job or a promotion, supporting performance management or recognition of prior learning and/or applying for a grant or entry into a tertiary institution).
This presentation demonstrates how Mahara is being used to with educators and support staff using collaborative learning techniques, critical reflective dialogue and shared learning experiences to support their action-based learning and action-research projects. This session will also showcase how the educators and support staff collectively generate and gather evidence in Mahara which they can be used in the future or as part of their ongoing reporting requirements.

This document analyzes four dual mode organizational models - BCIT, SAIT, UBC, and Tec de Monterrey - to test a theory about factors that put the social agenda of distance education at risk. The theory proposes that the emergence of e-learning for campus teaching, conflating technology with delivery mode, and a lack of understanding distance learners' needs leads to new organizational units that marginalize distance education. The analysis found support for all factors of the theory across the different institution types and organizational structures for distance education. Further discussion considers why these issues arise and how learner-centered institutions may better preserve the focus on distance education.
BCCP Afternoon Presentation
The document summarizes TEK expenditures and initiatives at BCIT to enhance technology-enabled learning. It outlines budgets and variances for equipment, infrastructure, labour and software/licences. It discusses the impetus for e-learning including changing skills needs and lifelong learning. Challenges of e-learning adoption like institutional barriers and funding are mentioned. The strategic vision is to achieve new standards of excellence in education through innovation. Smart learning spaces are a key project to connect BCIT to the world and equip flexible, forward-looking spaces that integrate technologies and pedagogy.
The Digital Learner at BCIT and Implications for an E-Strategy
The document summarizes research on how students at BCIT use technology and whether they fit the profile of "digital natives" or "millennial learners." It finds that while students are digitally literate and connected, their use of technology differs from claims about millennials. Students have a limited toolkit and prioritize immediacy and cost over advanced skills. Their needs are context-specific and technology is not more important than physical and environmental factors. An e-strategy at BCIT should consider students' actual preferences rather than assumptions about digital natives.
The Net Generation
The document discusses the characteristics of the "Net Generation" or students who have grown up with technology. It notes that these students spend much more time using digital media than reading books or newspapers. They are comfortable with visuals and multi-tasking. The document advocates teaching students 21st century skills like information literacy, problem solving, and lifelong learning to prepare them for a digital world.

This document discusses the organizational implications of e-learning and distance education in higher education. It notes there is a clash between the traditional collegial culture of universities and the more managerial approach required for e-learning. This clash can create organizational conflict as academics adhere to collegial norms while e-learning demands management. The quality and sustainability of e-learning programs may be at risk if this conflict is not resolved.

This document summarizes research on distance learning from 1988 to 2008 and proposes priorities for future research. It notes that early research focused on describing distance learning activities and comparing it to traditional education. More recent qualitative research examines teaching strategies and student outcomes. The globalization of education introduces issues of access, equity, language and culture that need further study. Going forward, research should improve teaching and learning, be faculty-driven, address social and cultural barriers to online education, and evaluate new technologies and learning styles.DLA2009 Presentation S Porto

Organizational Models in Dual Mode Institutions and the Social Agenda of Dist...
The document analyzes organizational models for distance education in four Canadian dual mode institutions: BCIT, SAIT, UBC, and VCC. It examines each institution's type, distance education strategy and mandate, student profiles, courses offered through distance education, organizational structure for distance education, and status of distance education. The analysis aims to test a theory about how institutional type relates to preserving a focus on distance education. It concludes the theory explains differences in how learner-centered versus traditional institutions approach distance education.
effects of e- learning
E-learning is having several effects on higher educational institutions:
1) It is facilitating a more flexible learning approach and helping to combat inflexible organizational structures as technology improves knowledge storage and learning techniques.
2) Universities must have flexible organizational structures to accommodate the changing role of lecturers and more flexible learning environments that e-learning requires.
3) E-learning is being used as a strategic tool to help universities compete in a global market and support strategic objectives like facilitating online discussions.
LizHalfordManaging_comprehensive_uni_SRHE_07-1-.ppt
This document summarizes a study on managing identities, boundaries, and transitions in comprehensive universities formed through mergers between further and higher education institutions. Interviews with manager-academics revealed challenges with navigating different systems and cultures between FE and HE. Specifically, boundaries were not seen as permeable between the more regulated FE environment and more relaxed HE culture. Identities were also firmly entrenched around assumptions of HE as post-18 scholarship and FE as skills-based. Transitions between FE and HE programs were viewed as best supported by physical separation of campuses and emphasis on student aspiration rather than curriculum structures alone. The conclusion identifies debates around the ideal organizational form between "intersectionist" and "integrationist" views.

Distanceeducationtechnologies
Distance education provides flexible access to education for students who are unable to attend traditional in-person classes. It can be delivered synchronously, with all participants attending online classes simultaneously, or asynchronously through self-paced learning materials. Distance education offers several benefits, including expanding access to education, being as effective as face-to-face learning when instructors are skilled, and increasing communication among students. It can also save students significant costs on transportation and textbooks compared to traditional education. When designed and implemented well to meet students' needs, distance education can lead to high student satisfaction and improved learning outcomes.
Distance education technologies
Distance education provides flexible access to education for students who are unable to attend traditional in-person classes. It utilizes various technologies to deliver instruction either synchronously, with all participants attending at the same time, or asynchronously, allowing students to access materials on their own schedule. Distance education expands access to education, can be as effective as in-person learning when done well, and increases communication among students. It also has financial benefits by reducing transportation and textbook costs. Studies show that high student satisfaction with distance education courses is correlated with improved performance, as motivated students learn more effectively. When implemented thoughtfully, technology can extend educational opportunities and support learning for both students and teachers.
Role of Online Learning in the Quality Improvement of Higher Education
E-learning involves electronically supported learning and teaching, including online courses, digital collaboration, and computer-based learning. It provides flexible learning opportunities that can take place both in and out of the classroom. E-learning has several benefits - it is student-centered, empowers equal access to educational resources, and can improve the quality of higher education by enabling innovative teaching methods and easier sharing of information. Common types of e-learning include web-supplemented, web-dependent, and mixed-mode courses. E-learning applications aim to enhance learning and make it more accessible and effective through the use of modern technologies.

The document summarizes a study that examined claims about differences between generations in their communication preferences and technology use. The study found little evidence that students born after 1992 ("Net Gen" learners) have fundamentally different preferences compared to older students. While students use technologies like email and texting, their use does not appear to be driven primarily by age or generation. Contextual factors like academic programs and requirements are more influential on communication behaviors.
The Net Generation: Myths, Realities and Implications for Higher Education
The document discusses claims about the "Net Generation" and evidence regarding their technology use and learning preferences. It summarizes literature on the topic and presents results of a study of college students. The study found that communication preferences were driven more by context than generation, and technology use was similar across generations. Implications are that assumptions about the Net Generation may be overgeneralized and not reflective of individual students' needs and contexts.
E-Learning: Old Wine, New Bottle?
This document discusses the history and evolution of e-learning. It notes that many aspects of modern e-learning have historical precedents dating back centuries.

Problem Formulation and Resolution in Online Problem-based Learning
The document discusses a study examining problem-based learning (PBL) in an online undergraduate agricultural sciences course. The researchers analyzed student discussions to identify how students formulated problems and resolved problems. They found students engaged in both problem formulation and resolution processes, with more time spent on problem resolution activities like proposing, evaluating, and agreeing on solutions. The researchers faced challenges representing the complex problem formulation and resolution process in an online PBL context.
E-Learning Research in Action
The document discusses three action research projects conducted as part of an e-learning research program. The first project created an online community for English teachers in China and Chile but faced challenges engaging participants. The second used clicker technology to support interactive teaching and explored what makes effective concept questions. The third used item response theory to analyze question quality and identify student weaknesses. Initial findings showed participation increased with anonymity and that instruction should be transparent, simple and adaptable with feedback.
Cga06
This document summarizes the past, present, and future of online learning. It discusses how online learning has evolved from an emphasis on information transmission to incorporating more collaborative and constructivist approaches. While learning management systems and social software are current popular tools, online instruction often still focuses on replicating traditional teaching methods. Best practices for effective online learning include using a project team approach, providing learner and instructor support, and establishing strong centralized support. Younger generations like Generation Y who have grown up with technology may have different expectations for online learning opportunities.

The Digital Learner: Myth or Reality
The document summarizes research on how students at BCIT interact with peers outside of class for course-related purposes and how information and communication technologies (ICTs) affect this. Key findings include:
1) Students used a limited set of familiar communication channels like Facebook, email, texting to interact with peers, driven more by convenience than their status as "digital natives".
2) ICTs were not the primary reason for peer interactions, which were motivated more by seeking practical solutions to course issues.
3) Student use of ICTs did not necessarily reflect characteristics of "digital learner" profiles and was not deeply tied to their age as "net generation" learners.
