Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments.

A really interesting course for someone who is already teaching and wants to spice up the classroom or for someone who has absolutely no knowledge on online teaching.

Transcripción

We have a really good question from Marina today about keeping pace with changes in Web 2.0 technology. So as we know, the technological world changes incredibly rapidly. Often we might get our hands or our minds around a really good piece of technology, only to find that it's not being used so much any more. So, she's asked us, how do we actually keep track of this ourselves? Do we know of any resources she can go to find out what's current? And also she asked us about recommended tools and apps that we spoke of in one of the previous question and answer sessions. Where she can find that. So we'll explain that as well. >> Okay, well, the first part of her question, I mean, it's right on. Technology changes very rapidly, we know, and it's very hard to keep abreast of how it's changing, and to be on the verge of the next new technology coming about. I mean, I don't know what the next technology would necessarily be in three or five years. But there is a great resource, it's research informed, and it does provide some insights, called Horizon Reports. And there's different types of Horizon Reports, there's Horizon Reports that look at emerging technologies in the higher education sector, in the school sector, K to 12. Even in museum education, I believe. And you can look at the particular sector that you're interested in, goes back a few years. You can look at 2014. There's some 2015 publications out as well. And the nice thing I like about that particular resource, and the publications that it provides is that it provides you with three different levels of the next generation of technology, so to speak. So, what's really happening in the next year or two, and then what's happening the next three to five years potentially, and then even five to seven or something like that. So it gives you a bit of a view of where technology might be heading in the future, and it's come from collaborative work of people looking at where technology is going, but that might be a good place to start. >> It's a really good place to start, so you don't invest all of your time on something that's about to drop off the planet, so. >> Yeah. >> So, what it doesn't do, I think, is really delve into the different types of technology or the exact tools that are out there right now. And I believe that may be part of the question that's being asked. >> Yeah, so, it might say mobile technologies, for example, was on the verge couple of years ago. But it won't necessarily say what apps or tools to look at, yeah. >> So, there are couple of things that people in the MOOC have actually already suggested, which I've had a bit of a look through, and they're really good resources. So, first of all, we do have in the class resource library, there's a button called Recommend Something. So if you have a great resource of an app, website or whatever, you can click that, and actually suggest that, and it goes into a spreadsheet that sits on the bottom of the class resource library page. Now in that spreadsheet, if you look along the bottom of it, there's a button called Tools and Apps. And we've got some really good things people have listed there. Now, the first one that was listed by Lily Ann, I believe, is teachertrainingvideos.com. I've had a look through that, and that's actually really good, because it has so many different types of technologies. And the presenter there actually does a two to three minute video explaining how to use the tech, and what sort of things it's really good for. So, it's a one stop shop of somewhere we can actually go. But also there was someone in the discussion thread, Olga, thank you very much, by the way. We do have a recommended tools and apps discussion thread right at the bottom of the discussion forum page. And Olga has posted a link in there for the top 100 tools for learning, which was a collation of research from 2014. So there's another great starting point there. And I also believe Olga is wanting to start a wiki that she wants to keep going after the course where a lot of that tech can be shared as well. So that's fantastic. >> Super. >> There is also a blog that you can take a look at, it's Edudemic, I believe? >> Edudemic, yeah. >> Edudemic, which has regular posts about the latest technologies and how to use them. I think a recent post was about using iPads in the classroom. So it's very current, and it will also be talk about new, particular apps. >> Yeah. >> That you might be interested in looking, and then how to actually incorporate it into your teaching. >> And there's one other thing, I just, all these things are being triggered because there are also some PLNs, personal learning networks, out there that you can join that talk about these sorts of things. There's one called Classroom 2.0, and that's actually quite a good resource of educators coming together and talking about all the new emerging tools and sharing their ideas. So have a look around for those sorts of groups you can join, because they can also help inform you a lot. And otherwise, some of those resources which we'll feature and put screenshots and links to in this video should give you a really good starting point. >> Yeah.
