Can Virtual Classrooms Recreate a Traditional College Experience? By Kate Freeman
The answer is no, but that doesn't mean elearning in higher education doesn't have its place. The article is a bit light on content and insight, but it might be good to provoke your thinking. new Hits: 202 )

eLearning Myths: How Video Can Put Them to Rest By Brendan Cournoyer
I recently came across a cool InformED article by Julie DeNeen that looks at the false impressions some folks still have about online and distance learning programs. The post breaks down 30 (yes, 30) eLearning myths that DeNeen writes “need to die in 2013.” It’s a good read for anyone who’s still unsure about the benefits that eLearning, or at least some sort of blended learning approach, can bring to their organization. It also got me thinking. We write quite a bit on this blog about the use of on-demand video presentations for eLearning and corporate training. So how can video specifically help dispel some of these common myths? new Hits: 213 )

Creating Engaging eLearning Content: 5 Tips for Authors By Erica Zahka
If authoring effective engaging elearning experiences was as simple as applying these 5 "tips", things would be easy. But they aren't. A good example of advice from people who simply don't have much insight into learning online. Also interesting to see that this purported elearning advice is classified as "content marketing". Maybe marketers should stick to marketing, and not giving advice on how people learn. new Hits: 123 )

Conversations with an e-learner (E-Learning Journal Article) By Anne-Florence Dujardin
This case study was part of a larger ethnography, which focussed on learners’ experiences of an online Master’s module in research design. In-depth interviews were conducted via instant messaging with one mature e-learner over five months. These sought to capture her perspective in order to gain a finer appreciation of what it means to be a member of an online learning culture. The study confirms the need to structure online courses so that students can develop early in their studies appropriate online social skills. It highlights the value of having a ‘key informant’ willing to engage in reflective conversations with tutors, to understand participation patterns and help foster an online learning community new Hits: 150 )

Evaluating Learners

Evaluating Learners, the Learning Process, and Yourself By na
This appears to be a book chapter made available on the net, and it's really a basic webpage, but you might find it a good starting point for thinking about evaluating the learning process, learner progress, and not least of all, your ability to teach and how to improve it. new Hits: 125 )

Evaluation: Making It Work By MAHEC Office of Regional Primary Care Education
