I found this article A New Pedagogy is Emerging…And Online Learning is a Key Contributing Factor.
I think this is the key part.
“In all the discussion about learning management systems, open educational resources (OERs), massive open online courses (MOOCs), and the benefits and challenges of online learning, perhaps the most important issues concern how technology is changing the way we teach, and – more importantly – the way students learn. For want of a better term, we call this “pedagogy.”
What is clear is that major changes in the way we teach post-secondary students are being triggered by online learning and the new technologies that increase flexibility in, and access to, post-secondary education.”
“As professors and instructors become more familiar with digital technologies for teaching and learning, pedagogical challenges and strategies are emerging. The developments listed below have had an impact on how teaching is structured and how and where learning happens.”
- Hybrid learning
- Collaborative approaches to the construction of knowledge/building communities of practice
- Use of multimedia and open education resources
- Increased learner control, choice, and independence
- Anywhere, anytime, any size learning
- New forms of assessment
- Self-directed and non-formal online learning
I have a couple of quibbles. What they are talking about isn’t all that new, and we should be well past the point of considering digital (or ‘online’) resources as something foreign in our teaching tool belt.
