Strategies for Using the Web in Teaching and Learning |
The Web can assist university teaching and learning. Using sample
websites built by the e3Learning project, the workshop exploited
various ideas in using the Web for educational purposes, which included
a number of different ways to enhance online content materials,
facilitate online peer-to-peer and student-teacher discussions,
and provide assessments through online activities. |

Examples of Effective Case-rich Web-assisted Teaching and Learning
|
This
was an opportunity for participants to have a hands-on exploration
of web-assisted teaching and learning courses used by teachers at
The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr Tor Chiu talked about the
'Burns and Plastic Surgery' website which contains many real medical
cases and quizzes to support students' self-study. On behalf of
Prof. Sally Chan, Paula Hodgson demonstrated the 'Mental Health
Nursing' website and explained how the video-enhanced cases on the
site have facilitated the students' in-class discussion and self-directed
learning. |

Evaluating
Web-assisted Teaching and Learning |
"Is your use of the Web effective in your teaching?" "What
evidence do you have that your teaching really supports students'
learning?" Evaluation is an essential component of scholarly
teaching. This includes web-assisted teaching and learning strategies.
Evaluation
was the process by which teachers seeked evidence which enabled
them to judge how sensible and successful their teaching and learning
design decisions were. The workshop explained, with examples, the
several stages of the evaluation process:
1.
Work out evaluation questions.
2. Choose strategies to use in answering these questions.
3. Develop an evaluation plan.
4. Collect data, analyse the data and then make decisions
about what to do next.
The
examples were based on web-assisted courses currently being used
in Hong Kong. |
