In order to broaden the range of my research findings and to learn from the experience of e-learning experts outside of the UK, I have invited online course developers and facilitators who are members of the Canadian Institute of Distance Education Research to complete a 3-question survey.
CIDER (http://cider.athabascau.ca) is a resource portal for Canadian and International distance education researchers and a good place, I reckon, to find people who are active in distance education and know what they are talking about.
From this brief survey, I am looking to find out the type of learning materials, activities and online applications that different educators use to ensure that what their learners are actually doing will result in the desired learning outcomes.
The questions are more focused than the previous ones mentioned in an earlier post.
——- Questions ——–
** Please give a specific and concrete example to illustrate the points
you make. Thanks. **
1) What types of online learning materials and learning activities do
you provide to meet the learning outcomes and target learners’ needs?
2) How do you deliver these learning materials and activities – through
which online presentation and communication applications (e.g.
discussion board, virtual classroom, email etc)?
3) Why do you think this combination of online learning experiences and
delivery methods helps your learners to learn your subject?
**Please include in your reply: your main subject area, occupation and
organisation.
