This blog addresses what constitutes active learning online and outlines a number of strategies for effective implementation.

May find this also interesting -discusses if social presence is necessary Annand, D. (2011). Social presence within the community of inquiry framework.

Hi I really liked this- I could not visualise how blogs worked for students- this is great, thanks

Good insight into how onr might use blogs with a relatviely large group.

Interesting paper on online student assessment, worth reviewing

This Online Tutoring ebook (although published in 2000 is still relevant) as it addresses many aspects of online learning including some of which are not covered in LI501 i.e. evaluation, culture and ethics, institutional support, quality assurance etc 

Two good sets here (I think!): What technology can I use for...? if you have decided on a particular activity for your students and want to know what sort(s) of technology could support it. What can I do with...? if you have heard about a particular technology or tool and want to know whether, and how, it might be useful to you and your students. Phoebe has been developed by a team from the Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning unit at Oxford University and Oxford University Computing Services with funding from the JISC Design for Learning programme.

Excellent checklist to evaluate technology-enhanced learning strategy.

Interesting, the point made about "Course evaluations have been called "post mortem" evaluations", while its true for the course in progress, it helps for the following course sitting (which may be the following semester, ie. two sittings per year!)
