institution-based, formal education where the learning group is
separated, and where interactive telecommunications
systems are used to connect learners, resources and instructors ...
“telecommunications systems” includes electronic media

‘Technology’
traditional, behaviourist approach, focused on production process to program learning
compared to broader contemporary view, tools
that mediate interactions

‘Interaction’
necessary constituent of all learning many interactions (not just f2f):
Learning materials (print/online/digital/LMS) Administrative sub-system (enrolments etc) Academic sub-system (lecturers, tutors, etc) Other learners (group work, discussions, etc)

Learners’ contextspersonal worlds: family, friends,
home & communityprofessional worlds: professional
colleagues, managers, memberships interactional distances:
Intimate: home, family, friends Effective: work, shops, college, etc Nominal: world at large

Otto Peters: “industrialised education” Holmberg: “guided didactic conversatio
n” Traditional assumptions - distant
student necessarily ‘disadvantaged’? Education as text – is ‘conventional’
education inevitably ‘distant’? Creative approaches to serve learners’
needs

Industry’s demands – flexible workforce essential to improved productivity
TAFE delivery of VET seen as costly & non-responsive to industry change
CBT and recognition of prior learning (RPL) – demonstrated competencies
Training packages & self-directed learning

Effects of online learning – changing pedagogy underlying
technological developments transition from ‘autonomous learner’
to ‘electronically connected learning community’
Knowledge construction - a dialectic process where one tests & negotiates constructed views on & with others

Appropriate pedagogical models?One-alone – online databases &
journalsOne-to-one – learning contract, emailOne-to-many – lecturer, symposium,
podcastMany-to-many – discussion, group
work, debate, synchronous or asynchronous

Distance education and technology interrelate and mutate synchronously
Theory & research has to keep up Tension between public and private Post-Fordism – technology permits
affordable production of non-identical units
Diversity of learner needs + mentor skills

Social presence in a virtual environment
Flexibility = overload?Reallocation of workloads Implications for instructional design Implications for training and
regulatory policies
