Technical issues - evaluation
Technical issues: Technical problems can slow down the
learning process in Tele-Leofil and influence local class work Technical problems in the Tele-Leofil-system were
solved with good help from Josef Burgard Using Tele-Leofil videoconferencing and
application sharing system demands good technical IT knowledge from Tele-Leofil –
teacher and local teacher to support local students and organize local work on exercises
uvi*2 2003 18
Pedagogical issues - evaluation
Pedagogical issues in Tele-Leofil system: Changes of traditional local ‘teacher role’
Local language teacher gets supplementary functions as an organizer, consultant and IT support person
Local class and group work has to be organized to avoid ‘waiting’
More ‘equality’ and ‘personal contact’ between distance teacher and student
Tele-Leofil conferencing system gives an ‘equal’ connection between individual students and Tele-Leofil-’teacher’
Long term planning of distance learning-sessions necessary
uvi*2 2003 19
Training in Tele-Leofil - evaluation
Talking together Seeing each other Listening to each other Working together on application-
sharing demands natural and equal
collaborative working and interaction skills from the communication partners in TELE-LEOFIL.
