What Do You Know of Mining?
Huge industry, but….. Little visibility Unfriendly perceptions
Technology intensive Consider CAT mining truck …
Mining Engineering enrollment Low and decreasing nationwide Number of programs going down, down,
down……

Mining at UMR
Small DepartmentCompare to Civil or MechanicalLow graduate enrollment
Shaky feature?Clausewitz on strategy:
“..the best form of defense is offensive…”
Raymond Aron: Penser la guerre, Clausewitz. Routledge, 1976. Or was it Sun Tzu?

Our Experience ….
Online education is a serious businessIt is here to stay; will most likely expandProvides education when and where
neededMost suitable for mature publicUnlikely to replace traditional school-
level education soon, but ….Can enhance the last

Challenges: External, Internal
Administration Fees, admissions, approvals, budgeting
Delivery Remote locations, slow Internet connections
Technical Help Quality
Assure that we deliver The appropriate content & breadth The most efficient delivery method
Breadth of the courses on offer Get other Mining Schools involved?
MGTTCrs

On Teaching / Learning
Much more than lecturing!!! Teacher-student communications are
important Well timed and fast assessment (progress
monitoring) is important Access to additional / external information is
important Other requirements ….
![Page 18: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lecturing
HTML alone “Basic” level Better than classroom???
HTML plus streaming audio Most efficient compromise at present?
HTML plus streaming video Yes, it does have problems ….
Two (Multi)-way video link with interactive communications
![Page 19: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Example: Streaming Video TSG
![Page 20: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

On Steaming Video
Consider the cost of facility and supportMulti - mode encoding?
“Synchronous” delivery of little valueMost of the students work /live in different
time zonesQuestionable quality of displayed slidesConsider mail-out of a CD with pre-
recorded lectures?
![Page 21: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

“Synchronous” ExampleLecturing to RSM students in London; the “other end”
![Page 22: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
“Synchronous” Delivery
Significant cost of equipmentLectures can be recorded for distribution
Students gathered in delivery points with access to compatible equipment
Delays in communications are annoying In most cases the mikes are switched off!!
Time differentials of major concern
![Page 23: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

24
Streaming Audio, Then?
Seems to be the:The best value for moneyLiked by the students
Ability to review a slide, or its parts, numerous times
Technology easy to master “Crude” delivery does not require “streamlining”
Can be pre-recorded on a CDLots of work for the teacher!!!

Communications
Most challenging part Electronic boards: waste of time?
Takes time to master Inefficient time-wise Chaos and inability to track
Discussion Board (asynchronous) Probably the most efficient for the purpose Discussion needs to be controlled and
streamlined Not quite a face-to-face quality

Laboratories
Invite the students to UMR for a week-long laboratory session?A team-building exercise?
Video tape the laboratory sessions and send out to studentsWith a set or data to be processed /
reported on?Develop a laboratory simulator?
![Page 27: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Conclusion: A Teacher Perspective
Think of what you do!Not a routine job
Adapt your communications and assessment to the needs of the course and your students.
Blackboard software is of great helpFacilitates discussion / assessmentStudents need to be trained in its use
![Page 28: 1 Online Teaching/Learning Tad S. Golosinski Professor of Mining Engineering Department of Mining Engineering, UMR golosins TSG.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d695503460f94a4774c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Conclusion: A Student Perspective
Lots of work2 hrs/day for a 3 cr. Course?
Communications / interfaces ok.Streaming audio ok
Add couple of streaming video piecesModularize contentNot always able to do all on time
Allow for delays / exceptions

Is This All Roses? Where are the Prickles?
…Converting an intellectual activity into commodity form for commercial use…
…De-professionalization of education ….
…Treat to faculty autonomy, intellectual property and job security ….
..Education: realm of freedom, open access, debate, inquiry and learning….
