LI501 DCAD Online Teaching

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!)

You are probably all aware of the NDLR but I decided to post it just in case. It's an excellent place to find and share digital resources.

Interesting reference on blended learning

This is great, thanks Enda. There's interesting and practical stuff on using synchronous and asynchronous tools and some useful points when considering staff developmoent

After our webinar on using onine forums in edcucation, I found this article really interesting. It uses "interactive online problem-based learning" to help students learn problem solving skills. The really amazing thing was that they were able to analyze individual student responses to determine what type of problem solver each student was and then provide extra help for students where they needed it! Great using of online learning!
