• Hot Potatoes example

Arrival activity
• Arrange the ten principles of
effective assessment into your order
of importance (just do it your way)

• Then compare with a partner

– Do you agree?
– If not, why not?
 Aim: to discuss the key
features of ILT
• To define some key forms of ILT in
learning
• To describe how e-learning is used in
different learning contexts
• To analyse the key features of e-
learning for learners, teachers and
organisations
 Blended Learning
• a combination of e-learning and face-
to-face learning
• elements of a programme are
completed in face-to-face ways
– e.g. lectures, tutorials
• others take place through technology
– e.g. online discussions, interactive
quizzes
 Flexible and Distributed
Learning
• Student is not required to be physically
within the institution for all study or for
assessment
• Some elements of study are delivered
directly, e.g. lectures
• Other elements of study or assessment
are undertaken individually and then
submitted electronically
 Distance Learning
• An extreme form of FDL
• Student is not required to attend the
institution
• Distance learning can take place
either electronically or through
paper-based methods
 Distance Learning -
examples
• Course model
– on-line modules
– e-mail assessment tasks
– on-line discussion forum
– occasional meetings
• Reference-based learning
– intranet in-service training
– regular on-line or written assessment tasks
 Contexts for e-learning
• Theory based contexts/courses
• Vocational contexts/courses
• 14-16 contexts
• 16-19 contexts
• Adult learning contexts
 Contexts for e-learning
• Pick a context for learning – the one
that you work in would be most
appropriate
• Find a small group/partner to work with
• Use the Key Features cards to help you
to describe how e-learning might be
used differently in your context
• Give clear reasons for your choices
 Analysis of key features
• Pick the 3 key feature cards that
were most relevant to your context
• Analyse the benefits (and challenges)
of each key card in terms of:
• The learners
• The teachers/deliverers
• The organisation
