8. The Extremes
• Regular teacher presence
• Communication
• Community
• All or several doing same topic at
same time
• results in a better, richer, more
meaningful learning experience
•more likely to result in changed behaviour
ie longer term learning
• takes more resources (time and $$$)
Self-paced, Fully
unfacilitated facilitated
• good for compliance training
eg OHSW)
• Can work with highly motivated,
more mature learners
• Huge drop-out rates
9. Guiding Principles
• Cathy Moore … “Think of your e-learning course as a
safe place for students to practice!”
• Assessment For Learning
(5 key strategies, 1 big idea)
• Sharing learning expectations
• Questioning
• Feedback
• Self assessment
• Peer assessment
Use evidence about learning to
adapt instruction to meet learner needs

10. COMPONENTS OF A COURSE
• INFORMATION AND CONTENT
• INSTRUCTION
• TASKS/ACTIVITIES
• ASSESSMENT
• FEEDBACK
11. CONTENT
• Bite sized chunks
• Clear, concise language
• Use media – images, video, audio
• Give students the chance to contribute
(Moodle: Glossary and Choice tools)
12. Instructions
• Be clear, concise
• Don’t assume understanding (work through
the materials as a student; get someone else
to check it)
• Give instructions that are clear enough so
students can work through material when
there is no lecturer around eg at home
(Moodle tool: Label)
13. TASKS/ACTIVITIES/
ASSIGNMENTS
• Offer a variety
• Use them frequently (“we learn by doing and
applying”)
• Design some tasks that require students to
– collaborate
– research Moodle Tools:
•Forums
•Wiki
•Lesson
•Quiz
•Choice
14. FEEDBACK/COMMUNICATION
• Provide regular and timely feedback
• Don’t just rely on automated feedback
provided via the quiz tool
• Moodle GRADEBOOK
• Ask how students are going
• Consider a weekly bulletin
15. Teacher Presence
The best online teachers - according to students
- are those who show their presence multiple
times a week, and at best, daily.
