A student guide to studying online - 0 views

  • For these and other reasons, it is difficult to provide a single, comprehensive guide to studying online. Different institutions have different requirements, different course designs and different sets of regulations that need to be followed. So rather than write a guide to studying that will end up being too general for most students, I provide below links to excellent online study guides that are publicly available from some of the better online programs

The rise of K-12 blended learning: Profiles of emerging models | Innosight Institute | ... - 0 views

    Blended-learning models Blended learning is gravitating toward six models. The six distinct clusters each share design elements that differentiate them from the others in terms of teacher roles, scheduling, physical space, and delivery methods. As innovators develop new versions of blended learning, the contours of these clusters will continue to evolve.

Why Are So Many Students Still Failing Online? - Do Your Job Better - The Chronicle of ... - 0 views

  • I think that's where we are with most online courses: They're not quite as good as face-to-face, but they're close enough. Are some of them just as good? No doubt. Might some be even better? Possibly. But a few, at least, should probably not be taught at all—"Advanced Brain Surgery" would be high on my list—and most are merely good enough.
  • I'd like us to be more honest with students. Generally speaking, online courses are harder than face-to-face ones, not easier. Online courses require a tremendous amount of self-discipline and no small amount of academic ability and technical competence. They're probably not for everyone, and I think we need to acknowledge as much to students and to ourselves.
  • Online enrollments across the country are strong and growing, while success rates stay about the same: abysmal.

  • Software companies now market products designed to determine, up front, whether students can handle the workload, the pedagogical approach (heavy on reading), and the technical demands of the online environment, and some of those products have shown promise. That sort of approach just makes a world of sense
  • I agree with those who think that hybrid courses, incorporating face-to-face and electronic elements, are the future. Some concepts can be conveyed quite well online, while others really need to be taught in a traditional classroom.
  •  
    isn't it time that we had an honest national conversation about online learning? With countless studies showing success rates in online courses of only 50 per cent-as opposed to 70-to-75 percent for comparable face-to-face classes- isn't it time we asked ourselves some serious questions?

    "Online classes are easy to understand. You can move onto the next thing much faster," Christianne says. "I have a friend in regular public school who says that they like FLVS courses better because they don't have to wait around for the other students to get it - or get frustrated when they don't get it themselves. But it's not easier because it's of a lower quality. The better quality makes it easier."

Blended Learning: Combining Face-to-Face and Online Education | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Face-to-Face + Synchronous Conversations + Asynchronous Interactions = Strong Online Learning Environment
  • I met with the representatives of three of the major competitors of learning managements systems for schools and tried out each interface. Each permitted transparency for parents. Each permitted me to create a bulletin board of sorts where I could load recorded lessons, upload videos, provide assigned links for homework, create a dropbox for my own handouts, post grades, receive assignments, email, etc. Pretty cool; but not enough.
  • What was missing was my own interaction with the students.

  • you need to purchase additional programs in order to benefit from the grown-ups in the community.
  • I am a huge believer in distance learning and the power of online tools, but I deeply believe that by sending the message that real-time teachers are only needed as a luxurious plug-in and not a fundamental fixture of this next educational chapter, we are doing a disservice to our students and the quality of these growing programs.
  • 5 Components Needed for a Blended Learning Model
  •  
    The fact is that there is a purpose in protecting a level of F2F and real-time interaction even in an online program. In education, the components of online and F2F are stronger together than apart. The power is in a Blended Learning equation: Face-to-Face + Synchronous Conversations + Asynchronous Interactions = Strong Online Learning Environment
