Thank you all for your good points! Much appreciated.

So, we have

The advantages offered of asynchornous elements for authentic learning – time to reflect

Opportunities to elaborate content in your own time and asynchronously – like on discussion boards

Opportunities to use learnign designs (like the flipped classroom model) that free us from the constraints of old style face to face only contact with student

Openign to opportunities for experiential learning

Would you agree that (in principle at least) a blended or fully online delivery can pursue better than a purely fce to face model the development of metacognitive skills? I mean the need for the learner to become an active learner, to self-manage the flow of information (larger by default in our digital times).

P.S. Ollie thanks for sending those references. Sherrie: Thank you for sending that pdf. I had come across the term flipped classrooms but I did not have a clear idea in my head about its meaning.

Dear all

I was wondering … if you had to argue with an academic colleague who is not keen on exploring the online space (defined broadly as the not face to face) as a potential learning environment, what woudl you say the value added on online learnign is?

I am after more than the ubiquotous or the 24/7 access to online resources or a VLE.

Just curious to hear what is it that makes it for you!

Thanks

Anna

Dear Ollie, Sherrie, Andrew

I am interested in learning design in blended or fully online Higher Education settings. Woudl this be the right place for me? 🙂

Hello to all

My name is Anna Verges and I am a learning technologist at the University of Manchester.

I have participated in a MOOC before (Oxford Brookes First Steps into Teachign and Learning) and although I have to confess that I was a bit sceptic abotu MOOCS, I became much warmer to it aftwerwards.  I am interested in how learning can take place in this one too and how it happens as well as its limitations.

My big question would favour pedagogy before technology: What are the mechanisms, conditions and necessary ingredients for effective, enduring and transformative learning? And on a less abstract way, how technology can help us in setting the right conditions.
