**Ways of teaching/learning:** - synchronous vs. asynchronous - same place with subgroups vs. different place - text vs. audio - video, live vs. pre-recorded - complete elearning vs. hybrid combined with onsite resources **Hallgeir’s teaching:** - Programming, video clips made available in the LMS. Students have to do one module (with video clips of appr. 10 min. + assignments). Students are able to go back and redo previous modules. Students ask for some f-t-f lectures. **Peter’s teaching:** Peter lectures for us at Agder, Tero is the local resource, and takes care of amongst other things, labs. Material can be in fairly big chunks. **Steve’s exp.:** May loose the possibility of walking behind the students at labs and see how they are doing - Arnes experience is that you need local lab assistants at all involved sites. **Janis’ exp:** Teaching Open Source in a EU project, with Free Technology Academy, see: http://ftacademy.org/ Students did labs, got instructions from Janis **All Tero's course materials** are available: http://ecolearn.wikispaces.com/ The teaching sessions (MS Live Meeting) have also been recorded, available behind a password for opening zip-files. Students attend more through on-line than on ordinary class (sick, vacations...) Focus on synchronous + wiki. Thorough structuring of sessions necessary. Need to plan for interactive participation, which keeps the sessions lively. **Moving forward** 1. Some of the courses are clearly linked, and the lecturers could talk more outside thsi meeting - one way of moving forward 2. Plan of implementation / delivery. That might be might be easier to discuss after talking more between instructors involved. So we could e.g. set up a Adobe Connect meeting in a couple of weeks. Meet as a group monthly. Tero sets up a wiki-site UNOiA. **Next meeting:** - discuss the issue of shared structure vs. diverse approaches - discuss tentative plan for delivery
