What works in online learningWhat works in online learning
What research says
• In a meta-analysis of over 1,000 empirical studies, the U.S.
Department of Education concluded, “...on average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face classes.” (Evaluation of Evidence-based Practices in Online Learning, May 2009)
The effectiveness of online learning is tied to
learning time, curriculum, pedagogy, and opportunities for
collaboration.• Webcasts - live, recorded, guest experts,
showcasing, daily check-in
• Scavenger hunts, virtual world roleplay, science simulations, Google Apps
• Peer tutoring and feedback (students and teachers), student teachers, professional learning communities, community service
Online learning can be enhanced by giving
learners control of their interactions with media
• I like to move, use, remix, edit, build, change, click, interact, change, create, share, rate, record...!

Online learning can be enhanced by prompting
learner reflection
• Multiple modalities of learning
• Self-monitoring and self-explanation
• Blogs
• Peer feedback
• Reflective summaries
What doesn’t impact learning?
• Incorporating online quizzes
• Media combinations don’t necessarily matter, but control over them does
• Scripts to support interaction can influence social engagement, but don’t improve learning
SWOTSWOT•Strengths: What do you do well? What unique resources
can you draw on? What do others see as your strengths?
•Weaknesses: What could you improve? Where do you have fewer resources than others? What are others likely to see as weaknesses?
•Opportunities: What opportunities are open to you? What trends could you take advantage of? How can you turn your strengths into opportunities?
•Threats: What trends could harm you? What is your competition doing? What threats do your weaknesses expose you to?
