If you’ve never taken a class online before, the concept might seem too good to be true – no worrying about getting to class on time, being called on to speak about a topic you’re not really comfortable with, or sitting in an uncomfortable chair for way too long. You might imagine sitting in your comfiest chair, relaxing your class time away at a time that is completely convenient for you. But as with any fantasy, reality is hiding just behind the corner, and it’s important to take a good look before you jump right in. So if you’re up in the air about it, take a page from some folks who have been successful in their online classes. Here is a short list of tips to get you thinking about if online learning is right for you.

Common examples of uses include: demonstrations of contextual images; images with clickable parts (an image map) that link to further information e.g. Google maps; video recordings of teaching sessions; to produce media-enhanced feedback; and recordings of special events such as guest lecturers. A useful guide to the range of uses of digital media to support teaching learning is provided by the JISC-funded Digital Artefacts for Learner Engagement (DiAL-e) Framework. Developed to provide sound pedagogic guidance on creating learning objects that use digital resources (artefacts), the Framework encourages consideration of context, learners’ roles, content, learning outcomes, activity, feedback and re-usability - focusing on what the learner does with an artefact rather than giving priority to its subject or discipline content.

n short, here’s the business model: Universities such as Duke and the University of Pennsylvania work with Coursera to produce massively open online courses (“MOOCs”) that are offered for free (at least until this point) through Coursera. Some schools, like Antioch, may decide to license these courses and will pay Coursera a fee to do so. Coursera will share the gross revenue and net profit from these licensed courses with the universities that produced the content. The faculty that produced the course will also receive some revenue. Schools like Antioch will offer these licensed MOOCs to their students, thus giving them access to a wider array of courses and instructors, including “rock star” faculty from well-known universities. Because the cost of licensing the content through Coursera will likely be smaller than the cost of hiring these well-known faculty to teach at the licensee school, universities like Antioch that work through Coursera can pass the savings on to students, thus lowering the cost of a degree.

Employers and universities have been putting their heads together. Recently the Higher Education Academy reported on the outcomes of eight flexible learning pathfinder projects, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, which found that employers favoured distance learning as a way of delivering career-related study. Such distance-learning degrees, which are often designed to appeal to mid-career professionals looking to develop their roles in specific sectors, such as banking, law, finance and nursing, are a growth area for many universities.

Higher ed has not inoculated itself against the spread, and ranks from the university president down to the lowliest of fresh meat tote around a smartphone or a tablet these days.

So you’ve deposited your research paper in your institution’s online repository, now what? Just because it’s online, doesn’t automatically mean it’ll get lots of interest, you can harness the power of the social web to promote your papers and engage with your peers. Here are a number of tips which I feel can help researchers make use of social media and related online activities to maximise the visibility of their research papers.
