Rowntree (1992) asks
-
What kinds of learning do we want learners to do? (These days we might ask: What kind of learning do learners want?)
-
Which medium (or combination of media) might best enable this
-
Can we make these media available to learners at a time and a place that would suit them?
-
How might learners feel about using these media?
-
Do the learners have the skills to use the media?
-
Will staff support be able to work effectively with learners using these media?
-
Shall we have sufficient control over the content and teaching approach of the media?
-
What can we afford?
-
a behavioural, a communicative and an integrative stage (though see Bax, 2003, for a critique of this perspective)
-
Whatever technologies you add to this table, we need to determine what each can do. Then how does this relate to teaching methodology and perceptions of learning in a given context. We've already started to think about this as we explored asynchronous and synchronous technologies. What does each afford in learning terms?
-
Control can relate to choice of teaching material and production of teaching material
-
Costing the development of online learning material is extremely difficult though institutions need to come up with some notion of this and some of the articles referred to in this topic raise the cost issue not only in terms of production but also in terms of end user costs.
-
But its complexity is one that we at Manchester have never really been able to grapple with very clearly either!
