Notes de l'éditeur
JISC actually say in this publication that e-learning = enhanced learning – they do go onto explore factors more and share case studies, but the implication is that it will enhance learning. Important to say that e-learning is not just the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (check with Graham about WebCT) and in fact when you look at the range of ICT in use in HE it is much more than the VLE – say more about this shortly. First introduce you to a case study that for me epitomises how e-learning can be embedded into a face to face course to enhance the learning for students.
Pushing this a bit! Those who have moved beyond the posting up lecture notes – this is usually where they have started! There have been few examples that I have been involved with who have had course designs embedding e-learning leaping fully formed into existence!
One of the questions I am often asked – usually by those who can’t face getting involved in e-learning is “How successful is it?”. This is of course an impossible question for someone in my position to answer in a global sense. Each member of staff has different reasons for using e-learning within their course. Individual differences of teachers and their approach to teaching mean that e-learning is used very differently even within the same department.
These were categories used in a survey of Australian Universities on-line courses and has since been used by me and TLIG for surveys of Lancaster and UKHE respectively. Mason has similar categories of content+support, wrap around and integrated models 56% UG modules using VLE, approx 500 staff and 8,000 students A - Additional - web supplemented, online participation is optional for the student 92 % B – 6 % 0 Bi - Blended - web dependent, participation required through interaction with content 2 Bii - web dependent, participation required through communication with staff/students 4 Biii - web dependent, participation required through interaction with content and communication C - Committed - fully online course 2% I have noticed that the culture within a face to face course will often spill over into the on-line discussion spaces – what I mean is, someone who encourages discussion in their face to face sessions, is open to questions and being challenged – similar behaviours can be seen on-line – the culture ‘translates’.
