Extremely useful article on the content and the design of the online courses. Kolb (1984) identifies four learning styles which work with the learning modes. A short description of the learning styles can be found in original work with much greater detail in this paper Implementing Kolb's Learning Styles into Online Distance Education

How can we make students take ownership of their learning process? This video explores some examples from Alan November. He tells anecdotes of when student feel they have a purpose to their work/learning and a legacy to leave: how positively this impacts the learning process.

From the Social Psychology perspective cooperative learning is examined to see its impact on active learning and experiential learning in Higher Education with several excellent links

Good breakdown and explanation of Blended Learning as an approach to learning and teaching. This combines and aligns learning undertaken in face to face sessions with learning opportunities created online.

This report has been developed as part of our research project Flexible Pedagogies: preparing for the future. Technology-enhanced learning is one of five main focus strands embedded within the theme of flexible learning. It offers a summary and analysis of the current state of play, as well as recommendations for developing robust and appropriate flexible pedagogies with a view to influencing policy, future thinking and change within the rapidly-shifting landscape of learning and teaching in HE.

Sandra, thank you for sharing this report. I hope to find some good insights for our "new" topic, final project and life in HE!

This study produced a number of papers, of which the most widely referenced in Mayes and de Freitas' study of relevant theories, frameworks and models. This concluded that existing models can be broadly classified as associative, constructive, or situative; that underlying principles of learning remain much the same regardless of the technologies incorporated into the learning situation; but that cosideration of the technologies available for use is now an essential aspect of educational planning, and constructively aligning the learning situation with the desired outcomes.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource. As I plan to do something along the lines of online Moodle module this is going to be very useful resource.

This web article discusses the competencies required for mobile learning design and provides useful links to further reading on the design of mobile learning.

This web article is one of a series on instructional design models. It concisely outlines the The Inquiry-based Learning Model which relies on the idea that individuals are able to learn by investigating scenarios and problems, and through social experiences.

When writing a Final Project my students need to look at previous papers and to learn from that. I wonder whether I will be able to take advantage of this resource to cater for this need.

The Spring 2014 issue of this bi-annual e-learning journal published by the Learning and Teaching Institute at the University of Hertfordshire contains useful research on the educational use of blogs and wikis and the use of quizzes for formative assessment.

Learning Theories & Models for Educational Research & Practice.

This blog post shares some concise guidelines for strategies to engage learners using mobile phones. The author makes the valuable point that just making content available on mobile devices through responsive design, does not mean that learners will engage with it. You also have to consider designing learning activities suited to the devices.

This blog post on Ebbinghaus' theory of memory and learning is one of a series by Steve Wheeler summarising influential learning theories. Each post offers a nice clear summary and provides further references if you want to dig deeper.

Varied case studies on blended learning

Short, practical, action-focussed reports on learning, technology and performance from e-learning specialists Kineo.

Thomas, quite useful when thinking of our final Project I would say. Thank you for sharing.

A well-presented and clear guide for anyone needed a frame work to help them plan blended learning courses. This guide has provided me with questions to answer during the planning of my final project.

LEaD this year are developing and sharing expertise around inclusive learning - I wonder if Wolverhampton would come and do a piece at our conference learning@city in June? This project will deliver a new module around the idea of inclusive teaching that will be available for the professional development of teaching and support staff.

This is the second post in a three part series on group work in online learning communities. Post one, featured why we need group work in online learning,  and post three will be on how to evaluate.

Thank you for sharing. would be useful for the final project design.
