From the Student Side … Gerhard Navratil Uppsala, June 1 st, 2007
What is Missing? • Visual feedback! • No feedback if students did understand the explanation (body language is not visible) • Other methods have to be used: – e. g. question where the knowledge must be applied Gerhard Navratil Uppsala, June 1 st, 2007
Grading • Students may not be physically present! • How to make sure that the person receiving the certificate has done the work? – Bring them to a place where the identity can be checked … • Basis for grading: Tests/exams, reports prepared by students, teacher‘s impression from live sessions Gerhard Navratil Uppsala, June 1 st, 2007
Summary • e-Learning requires a ‚change of teaching style‘ • Quality of teaching material is crucial for success • Technology is far from perfect but improving • Advantage: We can reach additional students Gerhard Navratil Uppsala, June 1 st, 2007
