Distance Education course development ?
Q. I am attempting to develop an Internet based distance learning course in agribusiness. I am new to distance learning and would appreciate any information you have on developing courses, such as articles or books to examine, computer programs to use and especially feedback on your perceptions of distance courses as both an instructor or a student.
A. You might find it useful to browse through some of the articles in 'epistolo didaktika', the European journal of distance education: Subscriptions and business correspondence: Mrs Jane Walker 'Bon-accord' 7 Wydell Close Lower Morden Surrey SM4 4NS United Kingdom This is the journal of the Association of European Correspondence Schools and contains contributions from practitioners both within and outside Europe in many aspects of distance education Might I suggest you take a look at the NODE website (http://node.on.ca? Here you'll find many resources of use to you, including: - our new Technologies for Learning pages (http://node.on.ca/tfl), in which we've gathered together resources, critical analyses and the experiences of colleagues. We'll be examining a new technology every month: this month's is Integrated Learning Packages. If you're looking at how courses are put up on the web, this is where you should start! - our Courses database (http://node.on.ca/courses/) covers all distance education courses offered at post-secondary institutions in Ontario. Perhaps you'll find that someone is already offering a course in your field, and you can take a look at how they've structured it! - our bi-weekly newsletter, Networking (http://node.on.ca/networking/) is designed to keep you on top of what's happening in distance education and learning technologies -- it's a great way of keeping yourself informed without wasting hours of online time!
