“Online education is possibly the biggest event in American intellectual life in the past 40 years. What’s happened is that a critical mass of intellectual capital in the country has moved outside the academy.”
Dr. Gerald Heeger

Most studies compare F2F and distance delivery No significant differences found Some found online students performed better Hybrid or blended was found to be best of all! Studies also look at student outcomes, student
satisfaction and student attitudes Need for more randomized, controlled studied Need to examine total programs not just individual
courses

Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education
American Association for Higher Education
Chickering and Gamson, 1987 Guiding principles for undergraduate
education
![Page 17: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Good Practice Encourages Contact between Students and Faculty
![Page 18: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contact is the most important factor in student motivation and involvement in the discipline and school
Online courses promote interaction through easier access, discussions, space for interaction to occur, attenuation of perceived barriers
![Page 19: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Good Practice Develops Reciprocity and Cooperation Among Students
![Page 20: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Learning is enhanced when there is a team effort and it is collaborative.
Online courses facilitate student to student contact through a ready space for communication and the reduction of time and space obstacles
![Page 21: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Good Practice Uses Active Learning Techniques
![Page 22: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In online courses that require active learning, students fare better than in passive courses.
Active learning promotes thinking skills and touches on multiple learning styles.
Online courses are tailored for active learning
![Page 23: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Visit the New York MetropolitanMuseum of Art’s online collections.http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/index.asp. You can also visit the M.E.Escher site at http://www.mcescher.com/. Have students identify Gestalt elements.
![Page 24: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Have students visit the site http://www.greylabyrinth.com/Puzzles/puzzle151.htm
Do the Christmas present problem. (Do NOT look at the solution until you have completed this activity.) As you solve the problem, take note of your thinking process. If you have a tape recorder handy, thinking out loud can be helpful.
After you have thought about your thinking process, tell us what it was. Reread the section on problem solving. How might you better solve problems? Now, go back to the Grey Labyrinth site (or find another problem solving site) and try solving a different problem. How did you do the second time?
![Page 25: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Have student play a game of cards or a board game. This gives them a chance to spend some time with their kids!
Give them a list of brain parts. They must identify the function of each during the game. (e.g. occipital lobe – see the cards, board, pieces)
![Page 26: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Put students into pairs. Have them go to http://www.psychologymatters.org ( a compendium of research with applications to daily life – it is from APA). They are to read one of the studies, then outline the components (question, IV, DV, etc). Finally they are to find an example from the news (or other popular press) related to the research. Each pair then posts to the conference. Each student must then respond to one posting with a suggestion for another related study.
![Page 27: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Have individuals (or pairs or groups) choose (or assign) ahistorical figure. Their task is to find biographical
information about the person including their biggest contribution topsychology, one primary source by the person, and one
obscurefact that is interesting about the person. Each then
shares theirsummary with the whole class. http://www.biography.com http://psychclassics.yorku.ca
![Page 28: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Several sites exist to assist you in building a webquest which is an inquiry oriented activity in which most or all of the information comes from online sources. They generally focus on the use of information, rather than the search.

Good Practice Gives Prompt Feedback
![Page 30: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The online environment enables the instructor to give almost immediate feedback. There is no need to wait for the next class.
Most CMS (course management systems) have gradebooks that enable the student to see grades without any Buckley worries.
![Page 31: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Good Practice Encourages Time on Task
![Page 32: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Online courses can make time on task more efficient.
Online courses makes it easier for the instructor to track student time on task and to remediate when necessary.
Online courses record all participation so students can see what they are doing.
![Page 33: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Good Practice Communicates High Expectations
![Page 34: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Online courses can more easily post expectations in terms of objectives, etc.
Online courses make it easier for an instructor to highlight good work, thus giving other students examples of work that meets expectations.
The same high expectations held for face-to-face students must be maintained for online students.
![Page 35: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Good practice respects diverse talents and ways of learning.
![Page 36: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Different students have different learning styles and talents.
The online environment allows the instructor to tap into all of these. While it is primarily a visual element, it is possible to gear some aspects to auditory or kinesthetic learners.
Assignments can be somewhat customized to tap into various strengths.
![Page 37: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Like the Wizard, can online solve all the problems of education today?
![Page 38: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Technology makes things easy – it won’t be a problem.
Teaching online is just like teaching face-to-face.
Teaching online will take less time. Students today are tech-savvy so I can
worry about content. I’m good in the classroom, I’ll be good
online. Teaching online will be easy – I can just post
my lecture notes.
![Page 39: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The class dynamics will be different online; there won’t be any interaction.
I’ll never get to know my students. I can’t do active learning online. I didn’t have any special training to teach in
the college classroom. I don’t need any to teach online.
![Page 40: NorthWest Teaching of Psychology Conference Des Moines WA November 23,2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d8e5503460f94a77b3b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Know your own learning style Know your own teaching and
learning philosophy Recognize your tolerance for the
unexpected Acknowledge your own technology
literacy levels Assess honestly your motives and
beliefs about online learning
