  3. Workshop Objectives By the end of this session, participants will: • Discuss two strengths and limitations of online learning. • Discuss two different online technologies that can be incorporated in PA education. • Describe two asynchronous and two synchronous online activities. • Describe three practical tips for successfully implementing online learning.

  4. Participant Demographics • Students • Teachers • PAs • MDs • Other

  5. Strengths and Limitationsof Online Learning Small Group Exercise • Discuss two strengths of online learning • Discuss two limitations of online learning • You have 3 minutes to discuss within your group.

  6. Strengths and Limitationsof Online Learning Strengths Limitations

  7. Strengths and Limitationsof Online Learning Strengths Limitations Technology failure – internet, audio-visual out of sync Cost Resource intensive Time intensive Slow computers Information is vast and rapidly expanding – difficult to navigate/manage Requires high degree of organization • Flexibility - time and place • Development of skills (problem solving, learning how to learn, creativity) • Increases interest in learning and attention span • Stimulates search for more information • Promotes cooperation and collaboration • More thorough assimilation of ideas • Encourages teacher-student interaction

  8. Online Technologies in Education • Learner management software • BlackBoard, D2L, DND Learn, Wiley Plus. • Presentation tools • PowerPoint, Xtranormal, word files, PDFs. • Online information • EBM tools, books, journals. • Web course tools • Listservs, blogs, chats. • Digital multimedia • Images, video, audio, podcasts.
