Overview
• Synchronous Cyber Classroom
• Blended Learning Model
• Cyber Real Cyber (CRC) Model
• Seamless Integration between Cyber and Real Spaces
• Demonstrations of some concrete examples
National Sun Yat-sen University
National Sun Yat-sen University
The history of my e-learning journey• 1995: Developed my first ever learning content on
the web. (CD-Title Web-Title)• 1997: Starting to develop learning management
system (LMS) till now• 1998: Created the NSYSU Cyber University• 1999: NSYSU MIS offered the first online program
for credits• 2000: Created the K12 Digital School• 2001: Starting to teach online courses in
synchronous mode• 2003:
Starting to use the 3C platform for prompting international collaborations
The history of my e-learning journey• 2005: Supporting IADIS to run 100% wholly online
international conferences (MCCSIS)• 2008: Offered my first ever online credit course for
PhD students in Italy• 2009: Offered a second online credit course with
Prof. Kinshuk for PhD students in Italy• 2010:
Organized an online research seminar in English for PhD students in Italy
• 2010: Organized an online research seminar in Chinese for six universities in Taiwan
• 2011: Taught my first ever online synchronous class at the UHK.
The problems of asynchronous learning
• Lack of social presence – learning alone
not learning together
• Easy to fall behind the schedule
• High drop out rate
e-Learning Trends• Blended learning
–Physical classroom + Cyber classroom
–Asynchronous learning + Synchronous learning
• A blended learning environment of combining these two modes could provide the best flexibility, engagement and performance for learning.
• Online synchronous learning is a very important component to realize such a flexible learning potential.

Three unique features
• Cyber Face to Face (C-F2F)
• Equal distance among all participants
• Easy for sharing and interaction using
digital materials

Key Features of Synchronous Cyber Classroom
• Common shared working space
• Concurrent multiple access
– Much easier for learners to be engaged

One-On-One Online Early Childhood Education
• teacher prepares electronic whiteboard• enter the synchronous cyber classroom• teacher opens the meeting room• student joins (password protected)• check audio and visual functions• discuss plan (advance organizer)• work through, add pages as needed• negotiate content and plan for next time

What are the kids saying?
Jonathon says …
I like online school because it is fun and because
it’s interactive. You can do Mathematics
and English.You can also do drawings
and colourings.You can also see your
teacher on the screen.Other people can join in it.It is lots of fun.

Basic Concepts of the CRC Model
□There are many combinations between 100% physical and 100% cyber.
□CRC or RCR
□ASA or SAS
Seamless Integration
• Cyber space & Physical space Seamless Integration

Synchronous Learning Model
Evaluation
• According to the survey results:
– 97% of students responded that they were
satisfied with the online synchronous live
instruction mode
– 89% of students responded that the live instruction
mode could provide very good interactions among
teachers and students
Feedback from the students• “Live instruction enable me to concentrate more;
actually it is not easy to be distracted because teacher
can call anyone’s name and ask questions.”
• “I like this kind of live instruction mode. The feeling is
just like I went back to school for class.”
• “I prefer live instruction mode, because the feeling is
just like in a real class with the atmosphere of face-to-
face lecture and the opportunity for interaction is
higher.”
Conclusion
• This talk has presented an online synchronous learning
model with 32 different online synchronous
instruction/learning modes
• Synchronous learning modes can improve learners’
online engagement and hence reduce dropout rate.
• The dropout rate has been reduced from 30% down to
less than 5%
