http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/22_-_Stafford_Lumsden_-_Online_Learning.mp3 {bleep bloop bleep} I booted up cyborg teacher Stafford Lumsden to talk about online learning and the changing perception of what exactly a classroom is. We are more connected than ever and this shift in technology is changing the options that students have and how we teach. We discuss….  distance learning e-learning vs online learning Is online education as ‘good’ as offline? Basics of having a repository LMS – Learning Management System – create assignments, give feedback, students upload and interact with each other and the instructor The pros and cons of a fully online classroom No one-size-fits-all with online teaching  Useful resources: Google – heard of it? add dot com. It’s quite good. Google Sites – make your own web pages classroom.google.com – education specific ‘classrooms’. Students can submit and track assignments. Teachers can receive and give feedback on assignments all within the Google eco-system. wix.com – make your own web pages moodle.org – open source LMS. Requires some computer savvy to use Blackboard.com – pricy. Would require financial support from your department
