Part E - Strategies for integrating online support techniques into a learning programme

Activity 1.9


AIMS

- To focus on:

  • identifying measures that result in efficient support, and to look at ways of building them into the programme
  • needs analysis
  • addressing initial needs

- To provide practice for the final assessment.

- To find sources and create potential materials for the final assessment.

INSTRUCTIONS

- Present an initial online activity that you have produced for one of your own learning programmes/courses and share these with your facilitator and other participants.

- Comment helpfully on each other's designs.

Your aims:

  • to get learners to use support tools
  • to encourage the establishment of a learner support network
  • to evaluate the present abilities of learners (needs analysis)
  • to get learners who have difficulties using the support tools up to speed
  • to establish a risk-free, friendly, cooperative, online atmosphere.

- Carry out a search for web pages or sites related to these issues and email URLs to others, or post them on a forum.

- If you haven't already done so, work with other participants to build up a FAQ for this programme.
