25 Remote Teaching Tips To Engage Students In Distance Learning -

From www.teachthought.com - July 23, 2020 3:23 PM

As remote teaching and learning become more common–if not the standard in many places over the next six months–I thought it might be useful to offer some remote teaching tips to engage students in distance learning.

 

As with all content, how useful and relevant any of these are depends on your context–experience, grade level, need, priorities and strengths as a teacher, etc. Some are possibly too general to help (e.g., ‘Simplify’), but hopefully out of the 25 remote teaching tips below, one or two might stick and make your planning a little easier–and more engaging for students.

From distance-educator.com - April 30, 2018 8:20 AM
he term open education has recently been used to refer to topics such as Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Historically its roots lie in civil approaches to education and open universities, but this research is rarely referenced or acknowledged in current interpretations. In this article the antecedents of the modern open educational movement are examined, as the basis for connecting the various strands of research. Using a citation analysis method the key references are extracted and their relationships mapped.

Should Distance Education Adult Learners always be treated as Adult Learners?

Should Distance Education Adult Learners always be treated as Adult Learners? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.linkedin.com - August 12, 2016 7:10 AM
In the past decade, more and more adults have elected to return to school with the desire of either completing a formal education (previously started), or pursuing additional education for purposes of personal development and/or to further their career. The format for this education, however, is not being sought in the form of the traditional on-campus, classroom environment. These adults are seeking out education which can be completed remotely and at a schedule more convenient for their busy schedules; this type of education is known as distance education.

A Learning Analytics Methodology for Detecting Sentiment in Student Fora: A Case Study in Distance Education - EURODL

A Learning Analytics Methodology for Detecting Sentiment in Student Fora: A Case Study in Distance Education - EURODL | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.eurodl.org - January 16, 2016 6:35 AM
Online fora have become not only one of the most popular communication tools in e-learning environments, but also one of the key factors of the learning process, especially in distance learning, as they can provide to the students involved, motivation for collaboration in order to achieve a common goal. The purpose of this study is to analyse data related to the participation of postgraduate students in the online forum of their course at the Hellenic Open University. The content of the messages posted is analysed by using text mining techniques, while the network through which the students interact is processed through social network analysis techniques. Furthermore, sentiment analysis and opinion mining is applied on the same dataset. Our aim is to study students’ attitude towards the course and its features, as well as to model their sentiment behaviour over time, and finally to detect if and how this affected their overall performance. The combined knowledge attained from the aforementioned techniques can provide tutors with practical and valuable information for the structure and the content of the students’ exchanged messages, the patterns of interaction among them, the trend of sentiment polarity during the course, so as to improve the educational process.

Encouraging Online Learner Participation

Encouraging Online Learner Participation | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - April 21, 2014 12:26 PM
Sustained, high-quality student participation usually doesn’t happen on its own in the online learning environment. The instructor needs to model participation, create assignments that encourage it, and foster an environment that supports it. Here are some ways that I promote student participation in my online courses.

Can You Hear Me Now? Communicating Library Services to Distance Education Students and Faculty

From www.westga.edu - November 30, 2013 5:04 PM

Academic libraries have responded to the challenge of providing resources and services to off-campus users in a variety of innovative ways. However, recent survey results indicate that users are often not fully aware of what is available to them. This study of library web sites at 100 distance learning institutions seeks to establish a checklist of best practice in terms of library resources and services provided and to establish a template for the effective distance education gateway. The results of this research will provide a comprehensive guideline for librarians seeking to institute, improve, or better communicate distance education resources and services to students and faculty.

The Open University at 45: What can we learn from Britain's distance education pioneer?

The Open University at 45: What can we learn from Britain's distance education pioneer? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.brookings.edu - February 5, 2016 4:42 AM
Ben Wildavsky reflects on the 45th anniversary of Britain’s Open University (OU) broadcasting its first lectures over BBC television and radio. He argues that any reformer seeking to serve large numbers of nontraditional students effectively would be remiss not to pay close attention to the OU’s pioneering model.

Time to retire from online learning?

Time to retire from online learning? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.tonybates.ca - April 16, 2014 9:32 AM

And then there’s MOOCs. I can’t express adequately just how pissed off I am about MOOCs – not the concept, but all the hubris and nonsense that’s been talked and written about them. At a personal level, it was as if 45 years of work was for nothing. All the research and study I and many others had done on what makes for successful learning online were totally ignored, with truly disastrous consequences in terms of effective learning for the vast majority of participants who took MOOCs from the Ivy League universities. Having ignored online learning for nearly 20 years, Stanford, MIT and Harvard had to re-invent online learning in their own image to maintain their perceived superiority in all things higher educational.

Yes! As an online learner and teacher I found the absence of best practices for online learning missing in all my Mooc participation. It would better be termed distance learning, falling back to the correspondence education of the past.

Halina Ostańkowicz-Bazan's curator insight, April 22, 2014 7:17 AM

Lastly, I am concerned that the computer scientists seem to be taking over online education. Ivy League MOOCs are being driven mainly by computer scientists, not educators. Politicians are looking to computer science to automate learning in order to save money. Computer scientists have much to offer, but they need more humility and a greater willingness to work with other professionals, such as psychologists and teachers, who understand better how learning operates. This is a battle that has always existed in educational technology, but it’s one I fear the educators are losing. The result could be disastrous, but that’s a theme for a whole set of blog posts.
