The e-learning push has been a catalyst for re-thinking methods of teaching
in general, especially since it is so relevant for teaching that values
developing independent learner thinking.
I am contacting this list because if you wish to pursue that kind of
teaching delivery method, I you might like to know about our very short 20
credits course in methods of teaching online from the Institute of
Education, University of London.
Our "students" normally include academics and related staff that may be
part of e-learning design teams, e.g. technical specialists or librarians.
It is the 4 week blended learning Online Education & Training, that needs
you to be in London for 5 days [April Mon 26, Fri 30 ;May Fridays 7, 14,
21] and work online between these days.
We consider methods of teaching and syllabus design, closely tied to
educational needs
of the campus as well as distance use. It gives a real insight into
e-learning provision from
the student point of view.
As with much good modern teaching, we focus very much on group
collaborative learning, both in our method of running the course and in the
topics we discuss. There is also a wide range of special options for
special interests.
It is a long established course that has been restructured to run by this 4
weeks blended mode.
