  1. MeaningfulE-Learning E-learning in the Arab WorldChallenges and Perspectives of DevelopmentCairo, EgyptJuly 9, 2012. DR. BADRUL HUDA KHAN MCWEADON EDUCATION, USA

  2. Presentation Goals • A Broader View of E-Learning Process • A Global Framework for E-Learning • What’s in it for you?

  3. PROCESS PRODUCT PEOPLE • TEAMS • Production • Instructional • Support Services • Admin Svs • Marketing • TEAMS • Planning • Design • Evaluation Learning Materials Developed & Delivered Blueprint Developed Content Design Content Development - Delivery P3 E-Learning Model

  4. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES Planning Design Production Evaluation Delivery Instruction Marketing

  5. A high quality e-learning systemmust be meaningfulto all stakeholders groups: • Learners • Instructors • Technical & Support Staff • Organization

  6. An e-learning system is more likely to be meaningful to learners when it is • easily accessible • clearly organized • well written • authoritatively presented • learner‑centered • affordable • efficient • flexible, and has a • facilitated learning environment.

  7. When learners display a high level of participation and success in meeting a course's goals and objectives, this can make e-learning meaningful to instructors.

  8. When learners enjoy all available support services provided in the course without any interruptions, it makes support services staff happy as they strive to provide easy-to-use, reliable services.

  9. Finally, e-learning is meaningful to an organization when it has a sound return-on-investment (ROI), a moderate to high level of learners' satisfaction with both the quality of instruction and all support services, and a low drop-out rate.

  10. Today, I would like to introduce a Framework which I believe will help us identify important criteria for quality E-Learning.

  11. Academic, administrative & student services Assessment of learner, evaluation of learning environment Ethical considerations in e-learning On-line and off-line resources & support Physical layout and navigation Learning and teaching issues Infrastructure, hardware and software Content development and maintenance Pedagogical Institutional Technological Meaningful Interface Design Ethical Learning Resource Support Evaluation Management

  13. Your Organization

  14. Stakeholder Focused E-Learning Put each stakeholder group (learners, instructors, technical staff, etc.) at the center of the octagon and ask questions along the eight dimensions. By doing this exercise, you will be able to understand critical e-learning issues for each group.

  15. 1. PEDAGOGICAL • 1.1 Content Analysis • 1.2 Audience Analysis • 1.3 Goal Analysis • 1.4 Medium Analysis • 1.5 Design approach • 1.6 Organization • 1.7 Methods and Strategies • 2. TECHNOLOGICAL • 2.1 Infrastructure planning • 2.2 Hardware • 2.3 Software • 3. INTERFACE DESIGN • 3.1 Page and site design • 3.2 Content design • 3.3 Navigation • 3.4 Accessibility • 3.5 Usability testing • 4. EVALUATION • 4.1 Assessment of learners • 4.2 Evaluation of the instruction • & learning environment • 5. MANAGEMENT • 5.1 E‑Learning Content Development • 5.2 E-Learning Maintenance • 6.

  16. PEDAGOGICAL What types of content are appropriate to teach via e-learning versus classroom? Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods

  17. PEDAGOGICAL What types of content are appropriate to teach via e-learning versus classroom? Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods

  18. PEDAGOGICAL What types of content are appropriate to teach via e-learning versus classroom? Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods

  19. RECAP • As you can see Videoconferencing can be used by medical students and professionals to observe how a surgeon performs the surgery. • Instructional Method: • E-Learning Videoconferencing • Learning Strategy: • Instructional Demonstration • But, medical students must be actively involved in hands‑on learning activity to learn how to operate on patients. • Instructional Method: • Instructor-facilitated f-2-f classroom • Instructional Strategy: • Action Learning • By appropriately combining content appropriate to both e‑learning method and classroom based instruction, we can develop meaningful blended learning.

  20. PEDAGOGICAL Content Suitability Testing STABLE Content DYNAMIC Content Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods

  21. PEDAGOGICAL Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods Who are the learners? Do we have adequate information about the learners at a distance?

  22. PEDAGOGICAL • What is the instructor’s role? • - more facilitative than • didactic (instructor- facilitated) • - more didactic than facilitative (instructor -led) • - a combination of both Content Audience Goals Medium Design Organization Methods

  23. Technological Infrastructure Planning Hardware Software Does the program have personnel who can assist learners to set up for starting the course?

  24. InterfaceDesign Do Web pages look good in a variety of Web browsers? Page and Site Design Content Design Navigation Accessibility Usability Testing

  25. InterfaceDesign Is the program designed to be accessible by a wider user population? (A common accessibility concern in the USA -- Is the course 508 compliant?) Page and Site Design Content Design Navigation Accessibility Usability Testing

  26. Evaluation Assessment of Learners Evaluation of Instruction & Learning Environment Does the e-learning program have a mechanism in which a learner can be truly measured and not cheat?

  27. Evaluation • Does the program have a system to accept students’ online evaluation of the following? - content - instructor - learning environment - learning resources - course design - technical support Assessment of Learners Evaluation of Instruction & Learning Environment

  28. Management Does the administration notify students about any changes in due dates or other course relevant matters (e.g., server down) via following means? - e-mail - Twitter - announcement page - alert boxes - running footer added to a page - phone call - mail - other Content Development Maintenance

  29. Resource Support Online Support Resources Does the course provide troubleshooting (or expert technical support from specialized staff) assistance or a help line?

  30. Resource Support Online Support Resources Does the course provide examples of previous student's work on the Web?

  31. Ethical Social/Political Influence Cultural Diversity Bias Geographical Diversity Learner Diversity Digital Divide Etiquette Legal Issues To improve cross-cultural verbal communication and avoid misunderstanding, does the course make an effort to reduce or avoid the use of jargon, idioms, ambiguous or cute humor, and acronyms?

  32. The “thumbs up” gesture meaning well done in the US, represents an obscenity meaning in Iraq, Iran, and Thailand. In Bangladesh it is a derogatory term.

  33. Ethical • Is the program offered to geographically diverse population? If yes ... • Is the program sensitive about students from different time-zones (e.g. synchronous communications are scheduled at reasonable times for all time zones represented)? Social/Political Influence Cultural Diversity Bias Geographical Diversity Learner Diversity Digital Divide Etiquette Legal Issues

  34. USA (DC) 5:00 PM Libya 12:00 AM (midnight) Can’t schedule a live chat.

  35. Institutional Administrative Affairs Academic Affairs Student Services Is the institution ready to offer online courses?

  36. Institutional Administrative Affairs Academic Affairs Student Services Does e-learning provide academic quality such as one would expect in a traditional course?

  37. Within the scope of today’s presentation, I have presented few learning issues in the form of questions that you can ask yourself when planning, designing, evaluating or implementing meaningful E-Learning.
