WHAT IS ONLINE LEARNING?
• The term online learning (or, as it is
sometimes called, distance learning)
includes a number of computer-assisted
instruction methods.
• Online teaching and learning is faculty-
delivered instruction via the internet.
Online instruction includes real-time
(synchronous) and anytime, anywhere
(asynchronous) interactions.

What is Online
Learning?
Two parallel processes take place in an online environment:
1. Students become more active, reflective learners.
2. Students and teachers engage in learning through the use of technology
And become more familiar with technology by using it.
9/8/20185

The best way to maintain the connection between online education
and the values of traditional education is through ensuring that online learning is
“delivered” by teachers, fully qualified and interested in teaching online in a
Web-based environment (Feinberg 1998).

Approaches to online learning
Synchronous learning is instruction and collaboration in
“real time” via the internet.
It typically involves tools, such as:
• live chat
• audio and video conferencing
• data and application sharing
• shared whiteboard
• virtual "hand raising"
• joint viewing of multimedia presentations and online
slide shows

Asynchronous learning methods use the time-delayed
capabilities of the internet.
It typically involves tools, such as:
• E-mail
• Threaded discussion
• Newsgroups and bulletin boards
• File attachments
• Asynchronous courses are still instructor-facilitated but are
not conducted in real time,
which means that students and teacher can engage in course-
related activities at
their convenience rather than during specifically coordinated
class sessions.

ADVANTAGES OF
LEARNING ONLINE
ONLINE LEARNING OFFERS A VARIETY OF
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
 Student-centered learning
 The variety of online tools draw on individual learning
styles and help students to become more versatile
learners.

ADVANTAGES OF
LEARNING ONLINE
• Experiential learning through
multimedia presentations
• New technologies can be
used to engage and motivate
students
• Technology can also be
used to support students in
their learning activities
Collaborative learning
• Online group work allows
students to become more active
participants in the learning
process.
• Contributing input requires that
students comprehend what is
being discussed, organize their
thinking coherently, and express
that thinking with carefully
constructed language.

ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE
EDUCATION
• EASY ACCESS TO GLOBAL RESOURCES
• EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH
MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS
• ACCESSIBLE FOR NON-TRADITIONAL
STUDENTS
• MORE @ MORE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED
IN ONLINE LEARNING

ADVANTAGES OF TEACHING
ONLINE
Online teaching can allow you to
experiment with techniques only
available in online environments, such as
threaded discussions and
webliographies.
Provide ideas and techniques to
implement in traditional courses
• Online email discussions, a frequently-
used practice in online learning, can be
incorporated into traditional courses to
facilitate group work.
• Web-based course calendars and sample
papers posted on the internet (with student
permission) can easily be incorporated into
a traditional course.

SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FOR INSTRUCTORS
OF TEACHING ONLINE
• Familiarity with the online environment
• Capacity to use the medium to its advantage
• Being available to students on an extended basis electronically
• Providing quick responses and feedback to students

THE DIFFICULTIES CAN BE OVERCOME BY
EMPLOYING SUCH TECHNIQUES AS THE
FOLLOWING:
THREE PRIMARY CHALLENGES ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH ONLINE TEACHING
• Effectively structuring online courses
• Creating community in virtual
classrooms
• Facilitating and encouraging online
discussions
• Become familiar with the technology
used in your online course
• Use the online medium to your
advantage
• Keep connected with students

“
”
Faculty involved in [online learning] find themselves acting as a
combination of content experts, learning process design experts,
process implementation managers, motivators, mentors, and
interpreters. In short, technology can leverage faculty time, but it
cannot replace human contact without significant quality losses.

SOCIAL NETWORKS
• Social network service usually means an
individual-centered service whereas online
community services are group-centered. Social
networking sites allow users to share ideas,
pictures, posts, activities, events, interests with
people in their network.

HOW? BLENDED….
• Virtual learning environments are the basic components of contemporary distance
learning, but can also be integrated with a physical learning environment which may be
referred to as blended learning.
• This is where students attend traditional school on a part-time basis and complete their
classes online.
• Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part
through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control
over time, place, path or pace. While still attending a “brick-and-mortar” school structure,
face-to-face classroom methods are combined with computer- mediated activities.

HUMANIZE ONLINE COURSES
•
• Remember that although you are teaching online, you are still teaching real
•
people, so it helps if you and students can put names with faces.
• Develop a portion of the course to post pictures and brief bios of students.

TYPES OF ONLINE EDUCATION
9/8/201826

ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LEARNING
• Students have the chance to study for free, in their own time, own pace of study.
• An access to all resource helps participants learn wherever they are, leaving them the freedom
to choose the time for study.
• They change from passive to active learners.
• The responsibility and self-discipline of students is the MUST
• Online education is able to provide learners with a flexible learning environment from any
location as long as they have a good internet connection
• Online degree programs cost less than campus-based degree programs as most of learning
materials are in downloadable format and the credit hours required to complete an online
degree program is comparatively less.

DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE EDUCATION
There can be multiple drawbacks to online education in comparison to
traditional classroom education.
• Lack of accreditation and low quality
• Little or no face-to-face interaction
• More work
• Intense requirement for self-discipline
• Even more intense requirement for self-direction
