Session Learning Outcome 

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe Online learning and teaching methods

1. Read the paragraph
2. listen to the Audio 

Session Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe: 

• Live, streamed video
• Classes using lecture capture
• Courses using learning management systems
• The limitations of the classroom design model for online learning

Session Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe: 

• What is online collaborative learning?
• Core design principles of OCL
• Community of Inquiry
• Developing meaningful online discussion
• Cultural and epistemological issues
• Strengths and weaknesses of online collaborative learning

1. Can you see the differences between ‘Open Collaborative Learning’ (OCL) and ‘Communities of Inquiry’? Or are they really the same model with different names?

2. Do you agree that either of these models can be applied just as successfully online or face-to-face?

3. Do you see other strengths or weaknesses with these models?

4. Is this common sense dressed up as theory?

5. Does it make sense to apply either of these models to courses in the quantitative sciences such as physics or engineering? If so, under what conditions?

Session Learning Outcomes

the and use the ADDIE models

• What is ADDIE?
• Where is ADDIE used?
• What are the benefits and limitations of ADDIE?

1. Take a course you are currently offering. How many of the stages of the ADDIE model did you go through? If you missed out on some of the stages, do you think the course would have been better if you had included these stages? Given the amount of work needed to work through each of the stages, do you think the results would be worth the effort?
2. If you are thinking of designing a new course, use the Flexible Learning Australia infographic to work through the four steps of analysis they recommend. Was this helpful? If so, you might want to continue with the other recommended steps.
3. If you have previously used the ADDIE model, are you happy with it? Do you agree with my criticisms? Is it flexible enough for the context in which you are working?

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe the Competency-based learning:

• What is competency-based learning?
• Who uses competency-based learning?
• Designing competency-based learning
• Strengths and weaknesses

1. What factors are likely to influence you to adopt a competency-based approach to teaching? Could you describe a scenario where you could use this approach effectively?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of students studying individually, rather than in a cohort? What skills are they likely to miss out on through individual study?
3. Is competency-based learning something an individual instructor should contemplate? What institutional support would be necessary to make this approach work?

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe the Communities of practice:

• The theories behind communities of practice
• What are communities of practice?
• And designing effective communities of practice
• Critical factors for success
• Learning through communities of practice in a digital age

1. Can you identify a community of practice to which you belong? Is it successful and does it meet the key design principles outlined above?
2. Could you think of a way to develop a community of practice that would support your work as a teacher?
3. Is there anything special you would need to do to make an online community of practice succeed that would not be necessary in a face-to-face community?

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe the flexible designs for learning(‘Agile’ Design):

• The need for more agile design models
• Core features of agile design models
• Strengths and weaknesses of flexible design models

1. Do you think a ‘agile’/flexible design approach will increase or undermine academic excellence? What are your reasons?
2. Would you like to try something like this in your own teaching (or are you already doing something like this)? What would be the risks and benefits in your subject area of doing this?

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session the participants will be able to describe the teaching methods:

• Choosing a method
• Design models and the quality of teaching and learning

1. What are the main learning outcomes (at a high level) that I need to achieve in this course or program, if the students are to be properly prepared for the future?
2. What teaching method is most likely to enable me to help learners achieve these outcomes?
3. How much would I have to change what I’m doing now, and what would the course or program look like in the future? Could I write a scenario to describe how I would be teaching in the future? Or how students will be learning in my course or program?
4. What support am I likely to get from my institution, in terms of supporting my ideas, supporting change, providing resources such as training in new methods, or professional help such as instructional designers?
5. How will my students react to the changes I’m contemplating? How could I ‘sell’ it to them?

please collect your response to the each session as you already did it. 

put your responses to each question using the reading and audio materials and also use your won experiences as mentioned in each session activities.at the end write your final conclusion which also should show a plan on how to implement this to your setting.  

upload the response to the this Moodle(OpenLearning) and we will provide you feedback.

doing the assignment is the mandatory part of this course .
