Pedagogical design of online learning Survey

Pedagogical Design of online courses

This survey is only concerned with an assessment of courses taught either 1) fully online, or 2) hybrid/blended based on the following definitions:

Proportion of content delivered online	Type of course	Typical description
0%	Traditional	No online technology is used - contented delivered in writing or orally
1-29%	Web-facilitated	Uses web-based technology to facilitate a face-to-face course. May use a learning management system (LMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and assignments.
30-79%	Bended/hybrid	Blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial portion delivered online for discussions to reduce the # of face-to-face meetings.
80%+	Online	Most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically has no face-to-face meetings.

11.Where does this course fit on the following continuum of conventional versus fully online?

Traditional: all learning and teaching contact happens in a classroom or face-to-face (F2F) setting.

Web-facilitated: F2F classroom with minimal online presence.

Hybrid/blended classroom: blends online and F2F teaching/learning.

Fully online: majority of the learning happens online with little to no F2F.

12.Where does this course fit on the following continuum of synchronicity?

Synchronous: all teaching and communication happens in real time

Hybrid/blended learning: some time is spent on learning in real time with the instructor at scheduled times and some time is spent learning virtually

Asynchronous: all learning happens virtually, by going online to obtain all information, assignments, and work in groups

13.Where does this course fit on the extent of student interaction with the course?

High web mediated: the online experience is designed to be interactive whether group work, student-to-student (P2P), student to instructor (P2I)

Low web mediated: the online experience is largely individualized (such as self-study) and/or for information purposes (folders of data and dropbox)

14.How was this course designed?
