4. Pedagogy is the “art, science, or profession
of teaching.” This broad definition covers
various aspects of teaching, and there are
many moving parts to pedagogy that include
teaching styles, feedback, and assessment. The
term pedagogy boils down to the study of
different teaching methods.

7. More Reasons..
Changing times has submerged us fully within the
technology
Online Presence matters.
Learning to navigate online waters whilst
understanding how the human mind works is not
simply an option anymore, its mandatory.

8. More Reasons..
The Covid-19 Pandemic has been a game changer
However, teaching online requires different
pedagogical approaches to traditional lecturing

9. “Learning – human learning – isn’t an
algorithm. The problems we face surrounding
education cannot be solved simply by
technology….Education is a human endeavor
– profoundly human. We cannot, we should
not automate these processes with teaching
machines. Because we are tasked with
teaching people after all.”

10. Literature on
Online Teaching

11. Online learning has its origins in what was
traditionally known as distance education.
“the practical subset of education that deals
with instruction in which distance and time
are the criterial attributes; that is,
student and teacher and other students are
separated by distance and/or time”

12. distance education has become fully online where
all teaching and learning materials are made
available to students online, generally via the
institution’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Interaction is mainly electronic,
technology is often used to enhance teaching
through the provision of interactive tasks and
technology supported learning materials such as
videos and screencasts.
Online learning is still distant, in that the
student and teacher are separated, however what
the term means can depend on both the institution
involved and the course being pursued by the
student, in other words the context.

13. “online teaching and learning means teaching
and learning that takes place over a computer
network of some kind … and in which
interaction between people is an important
form of support for the learning process. …. It
includes both synchronous and asynchronous
forms of interaction as well as interaction
through text, video, audio, and in shared
virtual worlds”

15. What is Online
Pedagogy?

16. Pedagogy can be defined as the method and
practice of teaching. As an academic
subject, pedagogy is the study of how
knowledge, skills and professional
practices are imparted in an educational
environment. Online pedagogy refers to how
teaching is practiced using the internet
and associated tools.

17. A Changing Pedagogy
Factors of impact

01
Students can take more control of
their own learning and the teacher
provides both support and
feedback.
Learning opportunities have become
more flexible and accessible, the
requirement to sit in a classroom
is no longer needed.
Teachers need to evaluate
and utilize the available
technologies to support
student learning.
Use of new technologies in
teaching, such as VR and AI, is on
the rise and new forms of student
assessment are being developed.

18. Educational Gains
Access
'- access - it is
demonstrably true that
educational technology has
increased access. More people
today have access to learning
opportunities, both formal
and informal, than at any
time in history. Entire
economies have been developed
as a result; the growth of
the technology industry in
India, for example, is hard
to imagine without the
contributions of educational
technology.'
'cost - advances based on
educational technology, such
as open educational resources
(OER) have been shown to
reduce costs for students
pretty much everywhere they
have been deployed. Numerous
studies attest to savings of
millions of dollars.'
'- community - maybe
collaboration and communities
produce better test results,
and maybe they don't. But
community itself is a value,
especially when it becomes
possible to develop learning
communities that span regions
and cultures. ...the world-
wide communities that are
developed in an educational
context would not be possible
without technology.'

20. What are Your Goals for This Course?
“Students who are aware of their learning goals tend to reflect on what is involved
in learning”
Please put together a list of what you hope to know and be able to do, and/or what
habits of mind you would like to develop by the time the semester is over. There
shouldn’t be more than six or eight items on
the list.
