I think the biggest challenge is how badly distance education is misunderstood. Online education isn’t something new; it’s a natural extension of classic DE theory. It’s also far from a second-rate activity. DE can be – and ought to be – every bit as effective than on-campus education in terms of student outcomes and academic achievement. Where that’s not the case, odds are that DE is being practiced poorly. DE is difficult to do well, and it takes what Michael G Moore and Greg Kearsley identified in 1996 as a ‘systems approach’. In other words, it’s not enough to just offer some courses at a distance. The entire organisation needs to be oriented around and dedicated to the success of the distance student. DE done poorly does not reflect a systems approach.

Another MOOC report, this time from University of London. Section 6 specially interesting for MOOC making.

Project Planning a MOOC

 

The course teams involved with our MOOCs included experienced academics with familiarity in developing materials on a learning platform. Nonetheless, for each of them it was their first experience of MOOCs, as it was for the project planning team.

 

 

Delivering a MOOC

 

A range of styles and learning methods were adopted by the four MOOCs, appropriate to the subject matter covered. A MOOC structure of six weeks and 5-10 student effort hours per week of study appeared to be just right for the majority of students (55%). Some considerations for future delivery include:

 

< Well designed announcements at the beginning and end of each week that articulate with the topic coverage, learning activities and assessment methods can be effective at maintaining student interest and motivation.


< Management of forum threads and posts is a critical factor in dealing with massive scale short courses to ensure the majority of students are not affected negatively by the behaviour of a small number of the community, while preserving the openness of the discussion areas.

 

< The Coursera platform tools are significant and comprehensive in terms of plotting overall student activity, allowing evaluation of assessment data, as well as usage statistics on video resources and other learning activities; however, further refinement of these tools to enable both students and teaching staff to understand their progression at an individual level is necessary (and underway).

The differences between eLearning and Distance Learning

The differences between eLearning and Distance Learning | Educación a Distancia y TIC | Scoop.it
From www.yourtrainingedge.com - June 3, 2017 4:44 AM

There are lots of terms out there when it comes to new styles of learning. If you’re looking to create new courses or new methods to deliver training, it can feel over complicated. What’s the difference between eLearning and distance learning? Does it even matter? Which is better? We’ve teamed up with the tutors from Assignment help to understand the difference between the two once and for all. Here’s what you need to know, and how you can use them to your advantage.

What Is eLearning? eLearning is any kind of learning that includes technology to help the learner. This can include videos, touch screen technology, online tools, or any other kind of media. What most people don’t realise about eLearning is that it can happen right in the classroom. The term just refers to the tools used. That being said, eLearning can be used when teacher and student are separated too. What is distance learning? Distance learning, as the term implies, is where the student and the teacher are separated. This is usually used in more formal settings, and one party is usually present. This is more often than not the teacher, who is delivering a class to the students who are present. This type of learning is particularly useful when one student cannot be there physically, due to illness or distance.
 
Carlos Fosca's curator insight, June 4, 2017 4:39 PM

"If the two concepts are so different, what does that mean for you? Well, it means that you have a lot of options when it comes to creating your own learning materials.

Gone are the days of creating worksheets and relying on PowerPoint presentations. You can now create materials to encourage learners to actually lean in and get involved with what’s happening."
