ECHO360 An inverted webinar event: Taking the Distance out of Online Learning



TAKING THE DISTANCE OUT OF ONLINE LEARNING
An Inverted Webinar Event
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
11 am EST, 4 pm GMT
Instructors and students alike may shy away from online learning because they perceive it as distant or impersonal. However, a recent study revealed interesting results when instructors created additional learning opportunities using screencasts. Can utilizing online tools actually offer students a more personal learning experience?
Join us for an interactive webinar spotlighting the results of the aptly named research project, ME2U, conducted by Dr. John Davies and Miss Clare Hardman of the Teaching and Learning Development Unit at the University of Sussex.
The project investigators will explore how screencasts can accommodate a student’s individual learning style as they discuss:
  • How instructors respond to using screencasts in their courses
  • Student reaction to this mode of online learning
  • If learning outcomes improved through the use of blended learning
  • What factors come into play when contemplating the use of screencasts
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the latest research on the impact of
blended learning!
