If you would like to explore e-learning in a more general way, especially in
relation to the most recent technologies, you may want to consider a short
online course from the Institute of Education, University of London that deals
with e-learning in terms of a simple pedagogy framework that incorporates
many styles of learning, e.g. resource-based, problem-based, discovery-based
in addition to traditional and blended learning approaches.
It is Online Education & Training, which you'll find is a forum for rich structured
collaborative learning with UK and other educators. It deals with general
issues of teaching online including social networking, with regular practical
tasks, and has a choice of optional topics on using the internet to enhance
internet teaching. These are expected to include
- online discourse and moderating
- computer-based assessment
- mobile technologies
- real-time teaching by phone, text, video-conferencing, or SecondLife
- blogging and podcasting
The next start is 9th March 2009. We suggest you register as soon as
possible.
The course carries 30 UK credits towards either a masters or a diploma and
can be taken by 10 weeks distance study online.
The fee is £Stg 654, which can be paid by bank transfer, credit card or
instalments. A cheaper auditor registration is also available if you do
not need the credits.
More information about the course is at the
