There are specific types of learning outcomes expected from higher education. These outcomes should drive teaching and technology decisions, not the other way round, although there is a symbiosis between outcomes and technology that needs to be considered these outcomes require certain kinds of teaching methods or approaches to learning, and online learning needs to be able to accommodate or support such approaches. This will mean exposing the ‘magic’ of on-campus learning and seeing if this can be defined and recreated in an online environment. I argue that much of this has already been achieved in online learning through good course design, which in itself is a key factor in improving productivity in higher education to get increases in productivity we need to examine which online learning activities can be re-designed to move from variable to fixed costs, while still maintaining or improving on the core learning outcomes expected of higher education. - See more at: http://www.tonybates.ca/2013/09/21/how-online-content-development-and-delivery-could-improve-the-productivity-of-post-secondary-education/#sthash.9GpAMqrq.dpufthere
