Web 2.0 is facilitating change. Some of these changes are the way people connect, reach out, and stay connected with others. Whether you are in business, teaching, development, research, or just want to experiment, you can have your own space in the web. We all have things worth sharing, experiences, stories, anecdotes which can enlighten or brighten up other peoples' lives, things that can be useful to others. This is the spirit which moves Connecting Online .... connecting, sharing, reaching out... sharing what you know, what you would like to know, and how you use technology for personal and professional reasons. How will we do this?

The Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) was set up for the purpose of providing higher educational facilities to persons above 18 years of age with relevant basic qualifications, in Sri Lanka. It is the only recognized university in Sri Lanka where students are able to pursue further education by distance education techniques in keeping with the philosophy of open and distance learning. The main focus of this lecture would be to identify and evaluate the impact of online learning on the students. This lecture would essentially discuss the findings from a research done using random sampling method with a questionnaire technique. According to the findings, most students prefer forums as the best online teaching/ collaboration tool. They like this method because they can contact their coordinator at any time and at any place, and can also network as well as discuss their queries. Students pursuing their studies at post graduate level prefer this method more than other students. However, the students have identified this method as a complement and not as a substitute for traditional face to face learning. As far as barriers for Online Education are concerned : Lack of resources (computers as well as experts in the field), infrastructure, no proper training on Moodle, and low awareness level of e-Learning are considered as main problems. This Lecture would be more of a discussion on impact of Online Learning and lessons learned from it in a developing country. I will present our findings and then we can have an open house to discuss this further.

Hi Steve,

Great idea! Will you be using WiZiQ's virtual conference room for the Saturday "Week 2.0 Week in Review" shows? If you are, perhaps we can co-moderate the sessions. Let me know and I will set up the sessions for you. Pair work has many advantages.

Thank you.
