Design for online and blended learning








The population is changing due to using so much technology today. If we talk about technology based education, we must think about our students and which skills they will have after leaving our schools, or in our case - for FOCUS project – which skills and what they will learn after finishing our online course. Studing  the topic 4 about  I could take with me some suggestions from webinar of Dr. Marti Cleveland – Innes (1).   If we think about good online course, we must to think about lot of things:
-          - Accessibility
-          - Good atmosphere (climate, trust) – highly important.
-         -  Flexibility
-      - Teaching presence (leader role is very important: create sustain sense of community, supporting, collaborate, moderate discussions, assessment etc…).
-        -   Emotional presence.

The second thing I liked is the 5 stage model of Gilly Salmon (2)  called “Five stage model”. This should be taken  into consideration when designing online course. Guiding the students through the stages must go along with the FOCUS course goal.

    Could you explain more about how you could apply Salmon's model to your own teaching in future?

    I have never had a chance to teach "online", but I believe this model could help me to have at least an understanding how to begin with an open course. In other way I think I am teaching "life" using this model already .And I believe the knowledge I got during ONL course was also very similar to Salmon's model. Am I right? :)
