We’re discussing the impact of tools such as ‘Like’ buttons on learner interaction, alongside broader questions about measuring and fostering meaningful engagement.
We’re exploring the value of short-form video in online education using a specific example from Careers education. There is much already written and believed about short-form video, so we’ll explore new and insightful perspectives from careers education.
Our online learners told us that their discussion forms were “dead spaces” and had “no value”. In this post I will explore how this may have happened and ask if there is anything we can do about it.
We’ve been providing distance education for over 100 years and we do this at scale, but designing good online learning is challenging. In pursuit of a solution we are proud to introduce the CAFE Model: a streamlined approach to learning design that emphasises the essential elements of what it takes to learn.
In this post, I’ll outline how we’re using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us develop online learning and I’ll share four key pieces of advice based on what we’ve learned this year.
Recently I had cause to question my own advice when my life as an online Master’s student collided with my professional role as a learning designer.
How we used an assessment technique called adaptive comparative judgement to help learners distinguish between good and bad interview practice, and how we used a novel animation technique to create video on a budget.
Here we share how we taught sensitive subjects online by developing an animated forensic psychology case study which uses stylised illustrations, narrated by a voice emulator.
Here, we discuss how using podcasts in an online programme allowed students to hear real life stories from the world of international business.
