EDUC 4150 Online/eLearning: Principles and Processes 2020/21

Now that was fun! What a great way to learn new definitions and in this case the glossary of terms given to us by our instructor used in eLearning.  A spin on the crossword may be a word search game. Either way, I am sure to use this in designing my

course.

Congratulations !!!

New gameThis crossword uses terms that can be found in the elearning glossary and in your readings for this module. You will not be graded on this activity; it is for your own purposes only.

Across
2: Rather than a lecturer or resident expert, this is the role that an online instructor assumes. Instead of preparing long lectures on content, an online instructor should be prepared to get to know their learners, build community, monitor and guide their students throughout the learning.
8: This type of presence is a combination of a well planned/designed course where materials, discussions and activities are clearly laid out and explained, as well as very clear monitoring, support and guidance throughout these activities.
9: This refers to activities or interactions that are done at different times. Learners do not have to be present at a particular given time to be a part of these activities. One example is our online discussions.
14: This is where the learning takes place. Online instructors create content and activities here, versus in a face to face classroom.

Down
6: This type of course (often referred to as a “blended course”) also includes some face to face interaction but the bulk of the content is delivered online.
8: This refers to the level of involvement that learners have with the content and activities in an online course. Increased levels of this means that the learners are more likely to benefit from the learning and remain commited to the course. It is important for online instructors to be aware of this when they are building the beginning activities of an online course.
10: This is an overarching theme for both the learners and instructor in an online course. It refers to the collaboration, interaction, social presence and trust among course participants. This is an important theme for online instructors to be aware of early on.
12: This type of presence in an online course allows the instructor and learners to bring who they are to their postings. It creates the sense of a real person being on the other end of the screen. This is important to establish early on in an online course.
14: Education via the Internet or network using personal mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones to obtain learning materials through mobile apps, social interactions and online educational hubs. It is flexible, allowing students access to education anywhere, anytime.
16: These activities and interactions require the learners to be present at the same time online. Chats and Skype meetings are two examples of this type of online interaction.
19: This is what we use to determine whether learning has occurred. Both learners and instructors benefit from this information and in the online world it tends to be much more continuous than in face to face learning environments. Some examples are: discussion postings, online quizzes, responding to case studies, journal entries etc.
