PedagogyPedagogyLiterally to lead the child
…correct use of teaching strategies…
…teacher’s responsibility…
Teacher tries to adapt strategies within the model of aLearning Management System such as Sakai…
PedagogyPedagogy
My experience - 3 approaches…
1. Face-to-Face Backup - A record of the class activity
2. Blended Learning – Interactive plus a record of class
3. Totally Online – Online Self-Study
PedagogyPedagogyFace-to-Face Backup
• Backup/record of class activity
• LMS stores material – files, assignments, handouts,
podcasts, whiteboard captures…
• Not pedagogy – just storage, but good for students to
review material or if they are absent
• LMS not necessary – can use blog or wiki, although LMS
offers additional features such as class management

PedagogyPedagogyBlended Learning
• Used in class as well as backup/record of class activity
• Social and Collaborative environment
• Structured but opportunity to work self-paced
• LMS can facilitate, but can reduce spontaneity due to
rigid structure of material

PedagogyPedagogyTotally Online
• Generally linear self-study
• Reduced f2f social activity and collaboration (new Web
2.0 capabilities allow virtual socialisation & collaboration)
• Less spontaneity than blended learning as learning
program is pre-established
PedagogyPedagogy
“Being an effective teacher of students means
having the capacity to manage change, to
acknowledge that education is a journey, not a
map.”
Brabazon, T., Digital Hemlock: Internet Education and the Poisoning of Teaching,UNSW Press, Sydney 2002, p136
Don’t let the tools get in the way of the pedagogy
SystemsSystems“Systems theory views the world as a complex system of interconnected parts.
We make simplified models of the system to understand it and define its structure and behaviour…” Wikipedia - Systems
Sakai is a Learning Management System with its own models and behaviours
SystemsSystemsSome argue that an LMS is good in terms of accountability, student tracking, assignment & test management, auditing student and teacher behaviour, but less successful as a teaching tool
Up to teachers to make systems work for them
ProcessesProcesses
Teacher creates processes, using LMS as framework
Stepwise Adaptation of teaching resources
Build as you Use
Embellish over time – just start with text
Use existing resources where possible
OutcomesOutcomesHas learning taken place?
How is this measured effectively?
Are you measuring what you think?
