  • Hi Joy, please feel free to use any of the skills guidance and searching principles provided in the introductory section of this course to help you find open access material more easily on the web, should you wish to explore further.

  • To what extent is the informal 'community presence' provided by online MBA cohort WhatsApp groups an effective peer to peer support mechanism?

  • Which article do you think is the most persuasive, and why? Masterman's - it is based upon structured empirical evidence whereas Gelm's is purely just her opinion based upon her experiences.

  • 1) The problem with guidelines is that they are, just that, guidelines and so one can elect what to adopt or not, which may lead to inconsistencies in adoption. However, it is useful to have some guidance to create awareness essential of what is needed and how these needs can be best served.

    2) I would say primarily the instructional designer. But it is...

  • As an instructor I was excluded from online learning through technical failure associated with the tool Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, through the LMS Blackboard. I would schedule Collaborate sessions within my modules but Collaborate Ultra was particularly temperamental and more often than not, I would not be able to gain access to my own learning session!!!...

  • The Online MBA for which I am programme leader is designed based upon a Community of Enquiry model. I find that this frames the course design well to ensure we give due care and consideration to the role of social, teaching and cognitive presence.

  • Has online education been education’s saviour?

    No, I wouldn't go as far as saying that. What it has provided is a fantastic opportunity for students to personalise their learning via a study mode that is flexible and may suit a different set of needs to the traditional on campus learner.

    Does it offer more desirable choices?
