  1. Online Teaching & Learning Pedagogical Best Practices Joanne DeitschOMDE 610 Section 904027-November-2013

  2. Introduction • Background • Learning Theory Overview • Description • Online Implications • Pedagogy • Evolutionary Trends • Best Practices • Conclusion

  3. Background (Leonard, Noh, & Orey, 2012)

  4. Behaviorism • “Behaviorist learning theory focuses on that which is observable: how people behave and especially how to change or elicit particular behaviors” (Harasim, 2011, p. 31) • “Behaviorist strategies can be used to teach the facts (what)” (Ally, 2008, p. 39) (Microsoft, 2013c)

  5. Behaviorist Pedagogy Online (Ally, 2008) (Roberts, 2011) (Microsoft, 2013b) (Microsoft, 2013a) (Microsoft, 2013c)

  6. Cognitivism • “the key difference between behaviorist and cognitivist theories of learning was the importance accorded to what goes on between the stimulus or input and the resultant behavior. Cognitivists were interested in modeling the mental structures and processes that operated in the mind in order to explain behavior” (Harasim, 2011, p. 47) • “cognitivist strategies, the principles and processes (how)” (Ally, 2008, p. 39) (Microsoft, 2013c)

  7. Cognitivist Pedagogy Online (Ally, 2008) (Microsoft, 2013c)

  8. Constructivism • “Constructivist theory posits that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing the world, and reflecting on those experiences…This process is one of asking questions, exploring, engaging in dialogue with others and reassessing what we know” (Harasim, 2011, p. 60) • “constructivist strategies to teach the real-life and personal applications and contextual learning” (Ally, 2008, p. 39) (HCG, 2012)

  9. Constructivist Pedagogy(Ally, 2008) (Alpha Construction, 2013) (Wilcox, 2013) (Tritschler, n.d.) (Oschatz & Wolf, 2002) (HCG, 2012)

  10. Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) • “Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) is proposed here as a new theory of learning that focuses on collaborative learning, knowledge building, and Internet use as a means to reshape formal, nonformal and informal education for the Knowledge Age” (Harasim, 2011, p. 81) • “facilitate knowledge building” (Harasim, 2011, p. 81) (HCG, 2012)

  11. OCL Pedagogy (Harasim, 2011) (HCG, 2012)

  12. OCL Informal Learning (Harasim, 2011) (HCG, 2012)

  13. Evolutionary Trends Expert knowledge resides within the instructor Responsibility for learning resides with the learner (Microsoft, 2013c) (HCG, 2012) (Delta T, n.d.)

  14. Best Practice Discussion (Kilens, 2011)

  15. Best Practice [1 of 4] • Online teaching and learning benefit most when pedagogy takes priority over technology (Caplan& Graham, 2008; Kanuka, 2008) (Business Quest, 2012)

  16. Best Practice [2 of 4] • Choose the best-fit pedagogy for the learning situation (Ally, 2008), industry environment and institutional goals (Microsoft, 2013c) (HCG, 2012) (Delta T, n.d.)

  17. Best Practice [3 of 4] • Encourage learner’s to take more responsibility for learning Responsibility for learning resides with the learner (Microsoft, 2013c) (HCG, 2012) (Delta T, n.d.)

  18. Best Practice [4 of 4] • Acknowledge the power of informal learning and, hopefully, include in strategic plans for learning (Cross, 2008)

  19. Conclusion [1 of 4] • Background • Behaviorism • Cognitivism • Constructivism • OCL (Microsoft, 2013c) (HCG, 2012)

  20. Conclusion [2 of 4] • Background • Evolutionary Trends Expert knowledge resides within the instructor Responsibility for learning resides with the learner (Microsoft, 2013c) (HCG, 2012) (Delta T, n.d.)

  21. Conclusion [3 of 3] • Best Practice 1: Online teaching and learning benefit most when pedagogy takes priority over technology • Best Practice 2: Choose the best-fit pedagogy for the learning situation, industry environment and institutional goals

  22. Conclusion [4 of 4] • Best Practice 3: Encourage learner’s to take more responsibility for learning • Best Practice 4: Acknowledge the power of informal learning and, hopefully, include in strategic plans for learning
