Introduction
• Main points– Learning and teaching online is not the
same as conventional approaches (even though there may be some similarities)
– Newcomers tend to make the mistake of thinking about the technology rather than the learning it helps facilitate
– Newcomers also tend to make the mistake of thinking about content rather than pedagogical design

Considerations
• What approaches work best?– Inclusive: participants work as a team– Empowering: students are allowed to
take a considerable degree of control over their own learning
– Flexible: responsive to changing needs of students and the contexts they are working in

Conclusion
• Learning is more of a group activity with tutors acting as facilitators
• Students use their peers as well as tutors to help them learn
• Requires trust between the learners and tutors
• Good pedagogical design results in rich learning experiences for students and a better working environment for staff
