Learning to Teach Online

168 notes

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments.

Question and Answers

Simon and Negin answered the top questions asked of them in previously run versions of this course via video. Although from previous courses, the questions raised and the discussions that follow, are very relevant, and they may answer some questions that you have about the course. In the videos Simon and Negin, did reference learners' names and the week in the course, but this is not important in this version of the course. These Q&A videos have been collated according to their relevance to the Modules of the course.

Okay, question five, the last question of the day,

is about how to use learning and teaching data for scientific publications.

So, I'm going to interpret that, that's from Raphael by the way.

>> Thanks, Raphael.

>> How do you use learning analytics for research?

I guess that could be the underpinning nature of that question.

>> Sure, yeah, I suppose.

I mean, learning analytics is used to learn about students' learning progress

and then to change your pedagogical approach, and publish on it, and

find new ways of teaching and pedagogy, i mean, to ultimately help our students.

So it's really the field of learning analytics, I would say.

So how can the data from students' activity online though

the LMS, use of videos, help inform

educators as what's the learning behavior like or are they learning or not.

I do a little bit of research in the area mostly around the use of videos,

in particular, so how students are engaging with videos,

how does that help their self-regulated learning skills?

What are better ways of incorporating video into the curriculum in order to

enhance the learning experience by

actually not just self-reported data from students, but their actual use of it?

So that's just a little bit of work that I do on that area.

I don't actually do anything with other- >> And

we talk about this a little bit in module eight, I think, as well.

>> Yes. >> So-

>> A little bit.

Yeah, we mention it in terms of how

the data can inform your own evaluation.

>> Yeah. >> And your professional development

around improving your course design.

That's how we've taken it in module eight.

But there's lots of stuff out there.

I mean, it's an emerging field.

I would say to check out the Journal of Learning Analytics.

It's an open journal and it has some interesting publications in there.

And also if you just go on to, say, Google Scholar for

example and explore Google learning analytics.

There's stuff that's published in various journals these days.

It's a starting field.

So it's relatively new.

If you're looking at some of the more technical ways of exploring that data,

look at the, I think it's called the Journal of Educational Data Mining.

And again if you explore educational data mining,

you'll come across some of those journals.

You can also look for the conference, the Learning Analytics and

Knowledge Conference through the publications and

proceedings from that conference.

They're not open access but you might have access to them through your institution.

Have some great articles around the use of it, as well, again,

from the Conference of Educational Data Mining.

So take a look at that.

But, anything else, Simon, you want to?

>> Well I was going to say, I believe in module eight we talk about some

of the tools that can be attached to things like Moodle.

And that sort of thing for drawing data out and analyzing it.

>> Yeah, a little bit, I mean, it's still quite early days.

I mean, if you are using Moodle, I don't know if you are, there's Moodle Reports,

which gives you some information about how students are engaging in your course.

There's tools like SNAPP, S-N-A-P-P, which is for

data visualizing your students' engagement in discussion forums specifically.

And that tool actually works with Blackboard as well.

And maybe even Designer as well, I can't remember.

But it works with Moodle, Blackboard, for sure, for

the discussion forums specifically.

So take a look at module eight.

There might be some resources there.

And take a look at the journal and the conference I mentioned.

>> And also, just thanks very much.

Some nice compliments about your experience in the course so far.

Very glad to hear it.

>> Yeah, thanks very much.

>> Yeah, thanks.
