Notes from online meeting for UNO-UiA project for online certificate in IT administration
March 14, 2011
Recording of the meeting (after you get to the link, click on it in your navigator bar to continue)
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
