  1. Opportunities for Adult Learners Through Integrated E-Learning Nantha Kumar Subramaniam Mohammed Yusoff MaheswariKandasamy Open University Malaysia

  2. Delivery of Lifelong learning at OUM

  3. Integrated e-learning

  4. ….What to do? …..How to do it?

  5. Integrated e-learning…..How to do it? • Many experts do not believe that a unilateral approach of using technology to support learning will be successful. • Instead, based on our own experience conducting online courses for almost 10 years and work done by Jochems et al. (2003) and Garrison et al. (2001), integrated e-learning will be effective if it is implemented in an integrated manner that incorporates the following SIX critical principles to empower the learners’ learning process

  6. Six principles.. • Integrated e-learning has to take pedagogical and technical aspects into account • E-Learning has to be learner-centered whereby learners would be the primary focus of attention as opposed to the traditional emphasis on the instructors • The best approach to teaching and learning is the bi-instructional method where e-learning is utilized for independent study to support self-managed learning (SML) and indirect instruction to support peer collaboration, interaction and eliminate isolation.

  7. Six principles… (ctd) • Assessment must become an integral part of e-learning so that the learners know their ranking and ways to improve it. • A successful online learning must support have instructor presence, social presence and cognitive presence as proposed in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model • A successful online learning must support learner-learner, learner-instructor and learner-content interactions.

  8. Conceptual Framework

  9. iBook The iBook is the online module which is more engaging and interactive

  10. iForumHere, the instructor will act as the formal authority for this subject by answering the learners’ questions in the forum

  11. iLecture iLecture will enable the learners to learn from subjects matter experts but at their own leisure

  12. iTutorial The iTutorial will enable the learners to have a feel of an actual classroom without actually having to attend one.

  13. cForumCollaborative Learning among learners

  14. Smart ForumComputer monitored collaborative learning

  15. iActivityFlash-based assessment which requires the learners to do some activities

  16. Self AssessmentSelf assessment is provided in the form of Multiple Choice Questions with automated feedback

  17. iHelpiHelpwill provide possible answers for the learners’ queries on the subject matter in the form of FaQs

  18. ….putting all the pieces together

  19. Main page of myVLE

  20. Implementation

  21. Integration of the materials

  22. Tracking System

  23. What the students say…..

  24. Learners Evaluation[Likert scale of 1 (strong disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)] * **

  25. What’s next… • Integrated e-learning Virtual Classroom • Inclusion of Google+ apps • Intelligent Question Answering System with diagnostic capabilities for immediate feedback

  26. Integrated e-learning: The way forward Traditional class e-Learning class Figure A Figure B

  27. Conclusion • Technology is an important component in LLL delivery • There is no one-fit-all kind of solution when comes to technology • The one presented is one of the possible model using myVLE (OUM’s LMS) • Definitely the model need to be further refined so that e-learning becomes the primary source for learning and subsequently classroom learning can be eliminated.
