ONLINE LEARNING WHAT AND WHY?

WHO AM I? ESL teacher (Kilkenny/Croydon) 11 yrs teaching online for 3 yrs (TAFE and non-TAFE) LearnScope (1998/9) currently: - WebCT Coordinator (DMI) - PD Officer (Online Learning) LSRSC (together with Doug Purcell)

WHY GO ONLINE?

From Networking 99:

WHY GO ONLINE? (10 good reasons) 1.Australia has more than 4M Internet users = about 20% of the population. 2.Convenience factor for students

OPINION: “ Does anyone really think they can get a degree online that is the equivalent of getting one from a real university where you can brush shoulders with colleagues in a professional and academic environment? ONLINE EDUCATION IS A SCAM. BIG TIME.”

THE REPLY#1 If I hadn’t been able to do my Masters in Business Admin online it never would have happened. I was able to do it: while looking after my family without childcare costs whenever I wanted without stress with no travel costs

THE REPLY #2 I received: more one to one attention than I ever got in a face to face course a reply to queries and assignments within 24 hours, and often 12. ========================= ONLINE EDUCATION IS NO SCAM. IT OPENS DOORS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME.

WHY GO ONLINE? 3. Many students want it: QLD TAFE survey (1998) - 20% DMI TAFE survey (2000) - 42% of students expressed desire to do all or part of their course online. (1400 students surveyed)

POTENTIAL DEMAND FOR SA TAFE if around 40% of TAFE SA students want online option….. currently 90,000 TAFE SA students 40% of 90,000 = 36,000 students!

WHY GO ONLINE? 4. The Internet is the best resource the world has ever seen. Why would you NOT use it? (Guess where this photograph came from?) (flash)flash)

WHY GO ONLINE? 5. Research: students who have access to both online and classroom training do best. 6. We owe it to students to encourage web based computer/research skills. 7. Strategic direction: national (ANTA); state (VLE); institute (strategic plan)

WHY GO ONLINE? 8. Bond between student and lecturer via communication tools 9. It is both a professional challenge and an inspiration. 10. “Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who use technology will replace teachers who don’t.”

CONVINCED?
