Pedagogical Framework for Online and Blended Learning

The opportunities opened up by e-learning technologies have been incorporated, and the virtual campus is as important as its physical equivalent.

The generation that is now looking to higher education have grown up with the Internet as a natural part of life, and there are rapid developments in e-learning. Consequences for universities who do not respond to this development may be significant.

Overall objective

• E-learning to be an integral part of kth educational programmes.

Online, Blended and Traditional

All online All Face-to-face

Online

(80+% of the content delivered online):

A course where most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically have no face-to-face meetings.

Blended

(30 to 79% of the content delivered online):

A course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, typically uses online discussions, and typically has a reduced number of face-to-face meetings.

Traditional / Web-facilitated

(0 to 29% of the content delivered online):

A course that uses little or no online technology - content is delivered in writing or orally, or uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. Examples of this might be posting the syllabus or list of assignments on a web page or to a course management system.

Teaching presence

Teaching presence is the design, facilitation, and direction of cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing personally meaningful and educational worthwhile learning outcomes.

Cognitive presence

Cognitive presence is the extent to which the participants in any particular configuration of a community of inquiry are able to construct meaning through sustained communication.

Social presence

Social presence is the ability of learners to project their personal characteristics into the community of inquiry, thereby presenting themselves as ‘real people.’
