Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2003)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Colleges and universities interested in offering online courses are finding the costs of entering the market for online learning to be quite high.

Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference (ID: EDU0206)
Author(s):Carol A. Twigg
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2002)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Colleges and universities are offering thousands of fully online courses, ostensibly altering centuries-old methods of teaching and learning. Few of these courses, however, make significant improvements in either the cost or quality dimensions of student learning; instead, they frequently replicate face-to-face pedagogies and organizational frameworks. Are you taking advantage of IT's capabilities as you design new learning environments, or are you simply migrating your on-ground approaches online? Using examples drawn primarily from the Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign, this presentation will discuss how IT can be used to surpass traditional modes of instruction.
