    Teaching Methods
    a) Chunk it
    Professors should teach in "chunks." Don't spend more than 15 minutes lecturing without some type of
    break, such as showing a short segment from a video, using graphics, having an online chat, including
    some type of application activity, or initiating a question-and-answer period. The break allows students to
    process what they have just learned.
    b) Lay down "ground rules."
    Do this at the beginning of the semester and ensure that they are followed. For example, in a
    videoconference session, every participant should state their name and site each time before they speak.
    For discussion boards, etiquette protocols should be established so that everyone knows how to respond to
    board posts.
    c) Provide a strong online component to supplement the course.
    Possibly include outside readings or similar resources as links from the course website.
    d) Organize content.
    Because of the logistics involved, presenting content at a distance usually takes more time than presenting
    the same content in a traditional setting. You can organize the content using a learning management
    system, such as Sakai, so that students know where material is located on each Sakai page and how to
    interact with both the content and the instructor.
    Mediums

    Print medium
    Audio- and Videocassettes
    Radio and Television
    Teleconferencing
    Computer-Based Instruction
    One-way and Two-way asynchronous communication
    Web-Based Conferencing
    Web-Based Instruction

    Interactions

    Call on sites.

    When there are many off-campus sites watching or listening to a live videoconference or audio
    conference, you must call on specific sites for questions or comments.

    Integrate delivery systems.

    Integrate a variety of delivery systems or technologies for feedback and interaction. Interactive
    delivery methods can range from using discussion boards and chats to e-mail and videoconferencing.

    Provide a detailed syllabus and personal message.

    Develop a detailed course syllabus and provide it well before the class starts. Also include a personal
    message about who you are and what you expect from the class. You also might want to include a
    picture or video of yourself in the personal message.

    Videoconference:

    Arrange small group activities, such as role-playing an issue or planning a debate, at local sites before
    asking groups to respond via the videoconferencing system to all sites. The instructor may determine if
    a sample of responses is sufficient or if each group needs to respond to the larger group.

    Chat session:

    A chat session enables students to react to others' ideas and encourages collaborative writing
    assignments.

    Online/supplemental materials:

    Provide a viewing or listening guide to supplement video or audio presentations. The guide should help
    students focus on issues, prepare them for concepts to follow, and provide opportunities for further
    learning, whether independently, in pairs, or in small groups.

    TYPES OF DISTANCE LEARNING


    1. Online Course
    Online courses are those in which at least 80 percent of the course content is delivered online.
    Face-to-face instruction includes courses in which zero to 29 percent of the content is delivered
    online; this category includes both traditional and web facilitated courses.

    ADVANTAGES

    Greater Anonymity Greater anonymity can increase both the honesty and quantity of
    discussion participation
    Discussion Grading Discussion participation can be graded much more accurately and
    easily as D2L keeps track of the number of postings and a written record exists of all
    participation.
    Time Savings The time savings from students not having to travel to and from and
    attend class, typically 50-60+ hours per semester, can allow for much greater time to be
    spent on other learning activities
    Flexibility, Convenience The flexibility, convenience, savings of travel time, and
    absence of conflict with work hours are very valuable to all types of todays students, but
    especially nontraditional ones whos numbers have increased greatly.
    Cost Savings An internet course requires no classroom, thus saving on building,
    parking, and maintenance costs.
    Initiative and Internet Skills In the last 20 years a strong shift toward group work has
    occurred throughout education, in secondary and presecondary, as well as in higher
    education.
    Global Reach Internet classes allow someone living hundreds of miles away from the
    nearest university, where roads and other means of access are poor, to learn from world
    class universities, through just a satellite dish or telegraphed Wi-Fi system and public
    computers at a library or community center, or at kiosks like those going up all over rural
    India.

    DISADVANTAGES

    No face to face meetings Clearly this entails a wide range of disadvantages. Hand
    gestures, voice intonation, and facial expression, can all be very important in efficiently
    making things clear and conveying valuable nuance.
    No Traditional Group Projects In an internet course students cannot work on group
    projects in the traditional face to face way.
    Academic Dishonesty Typical internet courses do not have proctored exams and are
    thus substantially more susceptible to cheating.
    Speed and Mediation of Discussion With an online discussion board students have
    much more time to formulate and post their responses; this gives important advantages,
    but it also has disadvantages.

    2. HYBRID COURSE/BLENDED LEARNING


    Hybrid Course/ Blended Learning is designed to integrate face-to-face and online activities
    so that they reinforce, complement, and elaborate one another, instead of treating the
    online component as an add-on or duplicate of what is taught in the classroom.

    BLENDED LEARNING MODELS

    FACE TO FACE DRIVER


    This is where the teacher drives the instruction and augments with digital tools.
    (There is a larger percent on face to face learning than online.)
    ROTATION
    Students cycle through a schedule of independent online study and face-to-face
    classroom time. (It may be grouped or individual)
    FLEX
    Most of the curriculum is delivered via a digital platform and teachers are available
    for face-to-face consultation and support. (A consistent physical location is not
    required. May also work groups or individually.)

    SELF-BLEND
    Students choose to augment their traditional learning with online course work.
    ONLINE DRIVER
    All curriculum and teaching is delivered via a digital platform and face-to-face
    meetings are scheduled or made available if necessary. (Opposite to Face to Face
    Driver, this requires less face to face meetings and focuses more on the online
    component)

    Ex.
    MOODLE is a free-to-download Open Source Course Management System that provides
    blended learning opportunities as well as platforms for distance learning courses.
    ELIADEMY is a free cloud based Course Management System that provides blended
    learning opportunities as well as platforms for distance learning courses.
    3. TELEVISED COURSE
    -The production of audio, video, photographic and graphic media for instructional use.
    -Televised course as the same content as a regular face to face class but, the power of
    technology enhance your learning.

    ADVANTAGES

    Televised course can give you a lot of flexibility, in your busy schedule.
    Students can able to learn without the presence of the teacher or the instructor.
    The learner has more control over the information he receives and an additional
    opportunity for deeper learning by being able to stop, rewind, fast-forward, and replay
    content as many times as needed.

    DISADVANTAGES

    Demands large effort and cost to develop appropriate materials. (Especially, for
    instructors)
    Demands large effort to create and maintain the technological infrastructure.
    The teacher cannot monitor the students progress. There is no assurance that students
    will do their part. Discipline towards studies and study habits may not occur to learners.

    IMPACT OF VIDEO

    1) Interactivity with content


    -the learner relates to visual content, whether verbally, by note taking or thinking, or by
    applying concepts.
    2) Engagement
    -the learner connects to the visual content, becoming drawn in by video, whether ondemand or real-time.
    3) Knowledge transfer and memory
    -the learner may remember and retain concepts better than with other instructional
    media.
    4. WEB BASED DISTANCE LEARNING
    -skyrocketed into the training and education arenas since the mass usage of internet
    technology began in the late 1990s
    -no longer a fad or a new trend
    -is a growing and changing learning system that is in urgent need of systematic study if
    we are to utilize it to best obtain desired learning outcomes

    3 AREAS OF EMPHASIS

    1. Learning environment
    2. Technology
    3. Assessment of the learning

    ADVANTAGES

    Gives students greater control over their time


    Online discussions, students have more time to review course content and practice
    what they have learned with online assessment.
    Students are motivated when they have responsibility for their own learning
    Students learn at different paces can either preview or review materials at their own
    leisure.
    Accomodates a variety of learning styles
    Increases opportunities to interact both inside and outside the classroom.

    Instructors can know their students better and more easy to evaluate the students
    progress.
    Make the students feel comfortable to the discussion (closer bonding)
    Access a wider range of media options that allows more complex and deeper
    discussion of course content
    More time to be spent to discuss than lecturing
