Rebecca Ferguson and Mike Sharples pointed me to University of Edinburgh MSc in E-learning 2011's manifesto for teaching online. I wonder: how many of their maxims do we follow? How many will emerge from the OLDS MOOC participant projects? Here's a sample: The possibility of the ‘online version’ is overstated. The best online courses are born digital. ‘Best practice’ is a totalising term blind to context – there are many ways to get it right. Every course design is philosophy and belief in action. The aesthetics of online course design are too readily neglected: courses that are fair of (inter)face are better places to teach and learn in. |
