What we are doing this Saturday 21 April as areal time experiment in accessing subject materials
Saturday's class on April 21 for DFFD, is misaligned with the weekend
times when your other subjects run. For some of you running my class might
mean that you have three weekends in a row of attendance.
So I am proposing is that we run this Saturday's session completely online
(in flexible mode) both in real time at the 1.30pm time slot and have
normal content also available from the session seven and eight subject
pages for those who cannot make the real time virtual class or who
normally do the class online anyway. The online group might can also do
the Saturday real time too.
I also understand that some students maybe on campus on
Saturday and what I will do is just quickly show them,
when they have a break in that mornings class,what to
do to attend the real time virtual class if they want
to do the real time sesion in the afternoon on Saturday.
This means as an experiment Saturday's class will run totally online with
both real time and anytime modes. We will review how it went over the
following week. That is between 21 April- 28 April there will be focus in
the online discussion and your blogs on how you felt as students using
purely a flexible delivery online to access and learn about subject
content for those sessions.
How it will work will require you read some instructions before this
Saturday at 1.30pm so we all know what to do.
You will be able to log in either from home if you have an internet
connection or from the normal 204 computer lab we use or the open access
computer lab on the same floor at the entrance to the Doug McDonell
building.
All the different ways of virtually attending will require you log on as
normal to the subject web address:
http://app.lms.unimelb.edu.au/
After that again as per usual go to the subject link 468124 Designing for
Flexible Delivery
then click on the schedule and then the links to session seven and
eventually to session eight.
There will be instructions on what to do in the announcements page there
from Thursday evening at 5.00pm.
So please take up the challenge in the spirit of an experiment but also
put down your thoughts on this via email or via your blogs or online
discussion
This is a realistic way for us to use the technologies of flexible delivery.
It will be very useful for us to follow this up in later face to face and
online sessions.
