Pedagogical design of online learning

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.

Question Title

* 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.

Question Title

* 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

Question Title

* 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)
