GIGP 2005 A Master Course on-lineOperative notes Agostino Marengo University of BariItaly Irkutsk 5 October 2005
An “How to” planning example A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
A Professor can’t… • … wake up in the morning and start planning an e-learning course…. • It’ll be a good way to give some tools to students.. But… • It’ll be like the difference between 80’s Informatics and 90’s Information Technology • YOU NEED A DIDACTIC TEAM PROJECT A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
Deming Lifecycle A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
What we are talking about • The Learning Model • The Delivery Model • Courses Structure • Calendars of Activities • Scheduling of a single activity A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
The Learning Model Six points: • Pre-assessment: Skills and abilities of the students to maximize the teaching results • Contents: course contents, how are defined, how are structured, and what’s the material built on • Didactic Project: the way every single course is structured and the recommended didactic path, to maximize student’s learning and cultural growth A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
The Learning Model • Delivery: didactic action… who, when and how didactic path will be developed and proposed • Evaluation: how to fix student’s level after the learning process • Monitoring: who made what, when and how good… tracking and analysis A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
The Delivery Model • A combination of 3 models: • Classical: the teacher in class, face to face (high level of interaction) • Distance learning: an extension of classical model, “just” using technolgy stuffs (CD Rom, Videoconferencing); there can be synchronous and asynchronous phases • E-learning: all phases are integrated into a Learning Management System (contents, path, assessments, evaluation, monitoring) A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
The Delivery Model • The proposed model is an Hybrid Model, adopting the best of those 3 models: • Some classical sessions (F2F): a direct contact • Make CD Rom for every Module/Didactic unit • Learning path on the LMS • Self-evaluation on LMS • Synchronous and asynchronous tools to make group working • Additional activities BLENDED A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
The Delivery Model • The model needs: • One tutor every 50 students • Every course has similar scheme and structure • Materials are distributed on CD Rom and on LMS • Periodic self-evaluation for each student • Activities and learning monitoring for each student • 2 hours a week for synchronous activities teacher/students • Teacher manages asynchronous contacts with students • Traditional evaluation A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
Courses Structure • Learning Modules: autonomous learning units (like a little book on an argument) • At the end there will be a self-evaluation • Every Module contains some Learning Units • Learning Unit: some related arguments (like a chapter in a book) • Every module includes form 1 to 8 learning units A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
ECTS vs Learning Units • Every ECTS equals 25 hours student’s working • Usually is: 2 ECTS = 3 LU … (2/3) • Every LU covers 1 week lessons (6 hours lessons) A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
A typical course structure • Every course has a Didactic Planning Document: • Course name, ECTS, time length • Name and e-mail of teacher, exerciser and tutor • On-line and F2F student receiving • Pre-requirements (skills, abilities and knowledge) • Learning goals • LU highlights • Evaluation rules and minimum requirements • Bibliography and suggested books A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
A typical course structure • LU structure: • LU track (trace… contents) • LU lectures: Materials and reading • LU Learning Activities, practices and tests • Self-evaluation • P.S.: self.evaluation will be every 2 or 3 LUs, published online on wensday and the corrections/comments will be online on monday A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
LU tracks • LU name • LU contents (few rows) • LU pre-requirements • LU learning goals • LU Contents outline: refers to the book or Internet web sites, etc • LU Activities, practices and tests (what and how) A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
LU Lectures • A copy of learning support documents: • Limited book parts (scanned) • Journal papers • Teacher dispenses • Internet downloaded material • All documents in PDF format and indexed • It’s the material LU refers to, in the LU track (Content outline) A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
LU Learning Activities • Some more close examination materials • Practices proposals • Tests • Case studies • Small projects developing • Small essays • A lot of demonstration examples A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
LU Self Evaluation • Every 2 or 3 weeks • Single and multiple choice tests • Tracking and corrections • Time limits and how many attempts • Evaluation instruments that fits a good result if we’ll use it constantly A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
Virtual class Classical or Collaborative Learning?? • E-mail • Group and general forums (group rooms in which develop projects) • Chat rooms • FAQ session • Tutor shape will be strongly feel from students (he’ll help, encourage and stimulate) A. Marengo - ONLINE COURSE
