Continuing engineering education through distance learning

The demand for distance continuing engineering education (CEE) is growing. This article describes the following with regard to CEE: the purpose; its importance, trends and unique challenges. Distance education can meet some of these challenges. Benefits and challenges of distance CEE are discussed along with the different types of distance CEE providers including universities, professional and trade organisations, corporate universities, for-profit education providers and government. Some recommendations are given for distance CEE. The specific focus here is on non-degree courses that are generally highly practical and focused.     

Teacher training through distance education: IICBA's experience

Abstract

This paper describes the experiences of the International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) in running distance education programmes for teachers and education personnel in sub-Saharan Africa. The Institute, established by UNESCO in 1999 and located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is mandated to work with teacher education institutions (TEIs) in sub-Saharan Africa in the areas of curriculum development, teacher education, distance education and educational planning. The subject areas IICBA focuses on are the teaching of Science, Mathematics, languages and ICT (Information and communication technologies) through the use of modern pedagogy. The Institute implements its projects in partnership with distance education offering institutions in Africa and other parts of the world. The paper begins by providing brief remarks on IICBA and its mandate and organisation, and proceeds to explain why it focuses on the areas of teacher education, capacity building and the distance mode of delivery to offer its training programmes. At the end, it describes the kinds of programmes it has been running since its establishment and the partner distance education institutions that offered the training courses.     

远程开放教育环境下自主学习模式的探讨

远程开放教育课程学习评价系统设计

远程开放教育课程学习评价系统的开发、应用是广播电视大学开展现代远程教育的客观需要,也是“基于网络的远程开放教育学习评价研究与实践”(教育部重点课题,课题批准号:DKA050165)研究的一个重要内容。本文阐述了基于网络学习评价系统的设计目标,学习评价系统的概念结构,学习评价各子系统的基本需求分析,形成性评价系统的技术设计。     

试论现代远程教育条件下学习者的学习方式

本文首先论述了学会学习是实现远程学习和终身学习的基础。其次指出现代建构主义理论是指导学习者学会学习的理论基础。最后指出要学会学习一要转变观念,树立全新的学习观念;二要个别化学习,培养自学能力;三要探究学习,提高信息素养;四要协作学习,培养人际交往和与人合作的能力。     

基于碎片化学习的远程开放教育移动学习模式探讨

人类学习方式经历了私塾求学、课堂学习及网络学习三个历史阶段,现代远程开放教育是社会发展的必然要求。移动学习(M-Learning)能够针对现代社会学习者流动分散的学习特征,利用碎片化学习方式,实现最佳学习效果,运用越来越广泛的移动学习必将成为未来学习过程中不可或缺的学习方式,是未来远程开放教育中的最佳学习模式。     

现代远程开放教育教与学模式探索

要搞好开放教育试点工作，首先就要转变传统教育观念，包括教师的观念和学生的观念；其次要从实际出发，积极探索教与学的新模式，并在不断总结经验的同时稳步前进。     

现代远程开放教育教与学模式探讨

现代远程开放教育教与学模式的核心是在网络技术条件下,在有效的学习支持服务系统基础上,采用多种教学媒体交互使用的方式,教师通过指导性教学,学生通过自主性学习,完成教与学任务。教与学模式是教学活动与学习活动通过一定媒体资源连接起来的方式。教育活动的基本要素是教育者、受教育者、媒体资源及连接方式。教与学模式研究的重点应该是教育者采用什么媒体通过什么方式连接受教育者。     

远程开放教育环境下教与学互动关系的构建

现代开放教育理论对传统的“传递-接受”武师生关系提出了挑战,强调师生之间教与学的互动。作者结合近年来在开放教育教学工作中的实践,以课程教学为例,提出了构建师生互动关系的思路,并介绍了一些深受学员好评又初见成效的构建良好师生互动关系的具体操作方法。     

Different discourses,discourses of difference: Globalisation,distance education and open learning

Post‐Fordism and globalisation are trends in the contemporary world in which the role of the market and consumer are given greater centrality. It has been argued that these trends have consequences of spreading ‘Western’ lifestyles and values around the globe, encouraging cultural uniformity, while also giving greater importance to senses of the local and place, encouraging cultural difference. Drawing on Foucault's notion of discourse, this paper suggests these trends are found also in changing theories of distance education and open learning. It is argued that notions of distance education are part of the trend towards uniformity under conditions of globalisation, while those of open learning are part of the trend encouraging difference and diversity. The discussion is situated within contemporary debates about the modern and postmodern.     

Applying learning and instructional strategies in open and distance learning

This paper is about the application of learning and instructional strategies in open and distance learning settings. First, a brief comment is made on the nature of open and distance learning and also teaching and learning in such settings. This is followed by a brief discussion of the impacts of particular types of learning and instructional strategics on learning. A framework is presented for applying learning and instructional strategies in open and distance learning contexts, and the translation of this framework into an instructional transaction that offers a generic plan for developing instruction.

This is, therefore, a conceptual paper. It discusses a theoretical framework for applying learning and instructional strategies that is currently being implemented in the design and development of instruction for an on‐line (electronic) teaching‐learning environment. The results of that implementation will be reported at a later date.

Reflective learning in distance education

This article addresses one of three major challenges which it is argued, currently face distance education, namely its claimed over-reliance on behaviourist approaches to teaching and learning. In particular, the derivation of principles of course design which can be applied irrespective of difference of context, content and learners, has not proved to be a realistic and effective way forward. Fortunately, the practice of distance education has not been limited to applied behaviourism only, and has included approaches which draw upon social constructivist and cognitive approaches to learning. These have worked well in combination with regular feedback to students in programmes at undergraduate level at the UK Open University (UKOU). Other conceptualisations of learning have also begun to make an impact, notably the experiential and the relational. The former emphasises reflection on direct experience and the transformation of existing knowledge. The latter reveals the shaping influence of students conceptions in these areas. Distance education already has many examples of activities and projects which require students to process existing and new experience in relation to course concepts and goals. A number of courses at the UKOU are also encouraging students to review their own learning approaches and to be proactive about their study methods. A case study of two courses is introduced, as an example of teaching approaches which foster reflection on experience, integrated with conceptual learning, and reflection by the learner on their own learning process in parallel with the study of course content. Evidence is provided from evaluation of the extent to which these learning process oriented course materials, have affected the learned outcomes students identify for themeselves. The integration of a reflective component into assessment of the course has been especially effective. Students report changes most frequently at the level of general awareness of purpose of study and learning transfer, rather than in the area of detailed study skills.
