Developing Guidelines for effective online classes in f2f, blended and distance education: Rationale, Process and Outcomes.

Types of classes F2F Blended Distance/Online How do they compare ? (Brainstorm)

Why Learning Design? The environment in which we are now immersed has changed dramatically. The world has become networked and connected. Technology driving pedagogy is a concern. Process (Design) is more important than content. Change from content to activity

Design from the learner's perspective? (Brainstorm)

1. E-learning can manifest itself in four different ways: o Individualized self-paced e-learning online, o Individualized self-paced e-learning offline, o Group-based e-learning synchronously and o Group-based e-learning asynchronously. 2. E-learning may also comprise combinations of the foregoing types of activities. Conclusion - Points to remember "E-Learning - A guidebook of Principles, Procedures and Practices", Som Naidu

3. The critical attributes of e-learning include flexibility of time, place and pace of study. 4. E-learning affords opportunities to design learning environments that are authentic, situated in the learning context, and also problem- based in order to provide students with “learning by doing” experiences.
