Online Courses According to Roblyer (2016), the differences between online courses and blended courses

Online Courses According to Roblyer (2016), the differences between online courses and blended courses is that online courses are those that have no required in-person class meetings at all. The four models for structuring online courses are: The Non. Interactive Model The Interactive, Asynchronous Online Model The Interactive Online Model with Synchronous Events The MOOC Model

The Non. Interactive Model The most basic online model Student’s do not have interaction

The Non. Interactive Model The most basic online model Student’s do not have interaction with instructors or other students during the course Consists of content presentations with built-in assessments Students study information given in different forms such as links, texts, videos, and possibly other self-led activities and then take tests to prove mastery of content

The Interactive, Asynchronous Model Most common model used at all levels of education Students

The Interactive, Asynchronous Model Most common model used at all levels of education Students are allowed to interact with instructor and usually other students Course is space enabled by a Content Management System (CMS), also called a Learning Management System (LMS) These online models vary in nature but are known to include: Whole class and/or small group discussions Individual and/or small group assignments Materials to read and study Practice exercises to complete Other various assessments

The Interactive Online Model with Synchronous Events Less common than asynchronous courses Have real-time

The Interactive Online Model with Synchronous Events Less common than asynchronous courses Have real-time class meetings Students “meet” and communicate with instructor and other students via cameras and other online tools Students may be able see each other with cameras or simply hear each other through computers’ microphone These courses usually combine elements of meetings with other online activities included in previous online models

The MOOC Model (Massive Open Online Course) One of the newest online-only models Originally designed so that anyone in the world could register for free Later adapted an enrollment process Involves a variety of activities such as: Viewing videos of professor lectures and demonstrations Combined with practice and interactive activities such as simulations or problem solving Whole-class or small-group discussions Assessments Anyone can sign up for courses but must complete are required assignments and pass assessments to obtain completion Offered primarily by large universities and school systems due to high costs Low Completion Rates Found to work better when used as a blended-learning experience rather than online only
