{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
