      like how the student resources project came from a survey of staff and student readiness for learning online
  • This proved to be quite difficult as the problems experienced by students studying totally online are different to those who are having face-to-face as well as online experiences

  • Cathy N. Davidson argued exactly this at her presentation, “Access Demands a Paradigm Shift,” at the 2013 Modern Language Association conference
  • The discussion forum, currently the holy grail of "engagement" inside most online courses, is particularly problematic. Exchanges within forums are usually too strictly controlled and reduce honest interaction to busy-work scored by a rubric. These interactions rarely resemble the many and varied kinds of discussions possible in a classroom. And many teachers require things of online discussions that they would never demand in an on-ground classroom: one post of at least 250 words, properly cited, and exactly 2 responses to fellow students. Imagine trying to create a lively classroom discussion with these kinds of constraints.

  • the best learning happens not inside courses but between them.
  • So, for example, I am working to create collaborations between courses at several institutions and assignments that bridge a course offered one term and a different course offered the next. I ask students to reflect on the connections
  • example, replace the video lecture that begins many online "lessons" with a video made by a student.

  • It makes sense that universities should be nurturing students' familiarity with technology, encouraging its use in teaching and learning, and paying attention to developing broader digital literacy skills.
  • Lecturers (who are powerful role models for students) can be very resistant to adopting new digital teaching practices, and will vary in their ability to engage with the online world. Few universities seem to have adopted a digital literacy agenda in a widespread or meaningful way.
  • Additional layers of digital know-how can to be added as the student moves to a deeper lever of expertise

  • They can practise working with feedback, and conversing in an iterative loop.
  • Once time and brainpower are freed up from memorising, will other skills come into play, bringing hitherto unimagined benefits?
  • Current undergraduates have never known a life without the internet – it is the glue that holds their personal and social lives together.
