(Expectations) Stimulating Recall of Prior Learning (Retrieval) Presenting the Stimulus (Selective Perception) Providing Learning Guidance (semantic

Encoding) Eliciting Performance (Responding) Providing Feedback (Reinforcement) Assessing Performance (Retrieval) Enhancing Retention and Transfer

What is your Philosophy of T&L? Online Teacher Centered

Your organize everything Content heavy web pages Quizzes and homework Lecture style Typically do not engage students Assignments are not typically

project-based

Online Learner Centered You structure the course Students help negotiate the content There is a continuum of learner

focus Teacher may fully participate some

time and not at others Provide framework

Online Learning Community Centered Emphasize the social aspects of

learning Lots of social interaction as a

process for critical learning

Safe psychological space for learning Work is typically intensive Great diversity of backgrounds Work cooperatively on projects

Online Technology Driven Course Technology selected dictates the

course Available, newest, best

Learner and teacher needs are secondary to deliver system or the technology

Fully automated course Not typically interactive

Who will build the course?

Instructor Coordinator Learner liaison Instructional Designer Graphic Designer Technology Personnel Resource Personnel Administrative Personnel

Skills you will need to teach online!

1. Things to think about??? Online Technology Resources (who is around on

weekends?) Physical presence Socialize, work, interaction spaces Multiple types of interactions

• Can be limited by technology used

Expectations Clarify your role as the teacher

When will you be available? How will you respond? When will things be graded and where

posted?

Clarify the role of the student Passive observation How often online? How will they share information? How will they create information? Self-Motivated and Self-Directed

Learners must manage their time Learners must be ready to learn Learners must troubleshoot

problems Learners must contribute to

discussions Learners must teach each other and

facilitate Learners must be civil and collegial

For K-12, this is most difficult!

Learners must review materials and readings thoughtfully

Learners must produce work in timely manner

Learners are expected to LISTEN to each other

Learners must be leaders Learners must address each other and

not just the teacher Learners should be proactive Learners should observe the process and

be able to comment on it at the end of the class.

Types of Interactions Learner to Teacher

Papers, quizzes etc Leaner to Learner

Discussion groups, PBL scenarios, case studies

Learner to Expert Guest speakers Online discussion groups Interactive web discussions live feed

Learner to Content What are the pre-requisite skills?

Learner to technology What do they know how to do?

Team-based Learning How does class size factor into this?

Not what but HOW we say it! Personal Relationships Online

Face-to-face Online

Communication - Personal space - Class space

Social Presence Theory Cultural issues Writing style

Learning Communities

Instant Messenger Dialogue Be flexible and be prepared for

the unexpected Cohort communities
