I am sending you information about a short 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 the short online course in Online Education & Training, from the
Institute of Education, University of London, run online. You'll find it a forum
for rich structured collaborative learning with UK and world-wide
educators who normally include many library staff.
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.
