David,
At the OU we have lots of teaching staff who teach exclusively online (although others also have face to face too) and meet the requirements of D2, and depending on their role also D3.
I have come across both those that are great face to face and poor online, and great online but poor face to face, as well as the fabulous all-rounder’s who can adapt their teaching to any mode. So I agree with you that there are different skills needed for the mode of delivery, but not that one should be given priority over the other. If you are telling people you observe online that your feedback is context specific, you should be saying the same to those you observe face to face.

Subject: Re: online teaching for PG Certs?

This is a difficult one - and while programmes and Advance HE would both want, and claim to be inclusive, many people running and assessing programmes will argue that the UKPSF descriptor for D2 is difficult to evidence without evidence of f-f teaching in a traditional context. It is one of a number of examples, including PBL facilitation, supervision, Master's level seminars etc which causes these problem and raises the question.
It is partly a problem with the lack of clarity about the function of the UKPSF, If it was like a teaching qualification - a licence to teach then it would be clearer, but it isn't. In the past I have said to people who I have observed doing one of those types of session that I am happy to agree that they can teach in that context but that I have not seen evidence of them being able to teach across the board - a bit like passing the driving test in an automatic car, with a request that they come back to talk to me if they ever have to teach a large undergraduate class for example. If the UKPSF is a quality assurance mechanism then we have a problem with someone who has no experience in the main form of teaching in HE (lecturing f-f) being able to claim competency in delivering teaching and facilitating learning.
Often in my experience it does not come up at the point of admission - but when there are requirements in coursework, or teaching observations that can't be met.
Hope that helps

Dear all
Does anyone know of/run PG Cert in HE courses which allow participants to have online teaching only, rather than meeting face-to-face requirements?
Thanks.
Best wishes
