Week 6: Recordings from class sessions for Strategies for Flexible Learning
at Monday, April 11, 2011Strategies for Blended Learning by bronwynannh |
You were asked to use a Blended Learning template to design some strategies in four categories as listed. Note: strategies for the Activities and Communication categories should include strategies for Interaction - student-student, student-teacher, student-content.
- Content.
- Activities.
- Communication - synchronous and asynchronous.
- Assessment.
Barbara Ker spoke to the f2f class about video assessments for Veterinary Nursing programmes. You can listen to a recording of her presentation - coming soon. The School of Veterinary Nursing has produced a very valuable set of guidelines for video assessments. One thing which intrigued me was the ethical clause instructing students to only engage in scheduled procedures and medication regimes. I believe this is to forewarn against unethical practices, and I had visions desperate students pulling cats and dogs off the street so they could complete their assessments on time. The school has to think of everything which might get in the way of a strategy ending in successful outcomes.
In the web conference, Jennifer Hamlin described how online learning is designed for distance students, and the recording included a demo of how Moodle is being used. The programmes are based on unit standards. There is a mix of block courses, practical work in block courses and in Veterinary clinics, online self-paced learning (on Moodle in exe packages), a synchronous online discussion forums, and regular web conferences (real time). Students video the skills they need to demonstrate for assessment, and some are during procedures in vet clinics and others are in the field (e.g., Rural Animal Technology).
