Lecture broadcast as the key to successful blended learning - an example of a german university of applied science, using the CampusManagementSystem TraiNex together with AdobeConnect

1. Lecture broadcast as the key to successful blended learning Prof. Dr. Stefan Bieletzke Bielefeld-Cologne-Berlin/Germany

5. Scenario: Virtual Room LIT HighTech – bought - HR - point2point = group 2 group-connection – Special room for teacher/special room for learner - centralised
6. Scenario: Virtual Room D LowTech – rented - LR - multipoint = person 2 person 2 group – No special room for teacher neither for learner - decentralised
7. Experience with TraiNex/AdobeConnect: 3,500 teaching-hours per year, 70,000 learner-hours per year 1/3 of the workload of part-time-students Typical: One teacher and 20 students join the room via web and their campus-login at 6 pm, 2 hours of presentation, 1 hour of practice and discussion.
8. Chat, for written questions VIDEO-area, eye-catcher, but not important Slides (Powerpoint), shown by the teacher Alternative: An application or a screen of the teacher or of the student is broadcasted List of real names of the participants Agenda or quick poll
13. Writing on a board and calculating together BTW: Teacher sits in a hotel near the beach
14. Exam: a student and one teacher are in one real room and a second teacher is in a different place (BTW: 6 hours less traveling-time for me) student presents slides
15. After 30 minutes it‘s time for questions Exam: a student and one teacher are in one real room and a second teacher is in a different place (BTW: 6 hours less traveling-time for me)
16. Exam: a student is in one real room (Hong-Kong) and two teachers are in a different place in Germany BTW: dangerous scenario, because you can‘t control the student.
17. Virtual Room 100 students need 100 PCs and 100 cable / Multipoint connections / e.g. Adobe Connect (100 students need 2 PC plus 1 cable) Point 2 Point connection, e.g. Tandberg Recording of the live-session results (quick and dirty) in web-based-training-material (many to many): decentralised (many to 1) to (1 to many): centralised (can be „limited“ to a centralised solution?) (can be extended to decentralised solution?) Recommendation D Lit + - everywhere (learner) + - everywhere (teacher) + + same time
E-Learning in the wider sense of the word: studying with electronic aids E-Learning in the narrow sense of the word: studying, independent of time and independent of space Nowadays the bandwith is getting good and the dependence on space is getting lower and lower, even for LR-Videoconferencing.
Though it is called „video conference“ the video pod is not important. It is sometimes nice to see the others, but it is not needed for the lecture. More important is the broadcast of the voice and the broadcast of the slides.
