This morning I gave my third webinar in the Contact North series based on my online, open textbook, Teaching in a Digital Age. There were 95 participants from 16 different countries.
In this webinar, which focused on Chapter 9 of Teaching in a Digital Age, I discussed with participants:
- the continuum of technology-based learning and its conceptual and practical usefulness;
- the key factors to consider when choosing appropriate modes of delivery;
- how to move to blended/hybrid learning;
- identifying the unique educational benefits of the campus compared to online learning.
A recording of the webinar, including discussion and participants’ comments, can be accessed here: https://contactnorth.webex.com/contactnorth/lsr.php?RCID=9a1a2cc8600d2c07a6426d4b15d7f9bd.
The next webinar, on quality in online and blended learning, will be at 1.00 pm EST, Tuesday, January 12, 2016. There will be a final, fifth webinar on the future impact of open educational resources on higher/post-secondary education later in 2016 (date to be announced).
