An Articulate presentation that provides an overview of learning theories (behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism) and pedagogic strategies (ISD, Dick and Carey, Gagne's 9 events of instruction, Problem and Project based Learning). The presentation concludes by listing components of the theories and strategies that teachers might use to guide the design of lesson plans. It is suggested that the presentation might also serve as a review for instructional designers.

The Course in College Teaching is a graduate level course designed as part of the College Teacing Certificate Program at the University of Oklahoma. The College Teaching Certificate Program was designed by Dee Fink and has been a graduate level certificate program at OU for over 10 years. I redesigned the foundation course in 2006 to focus more on course design leading to classroom teaching strategies that are practiced in graduate teaching assignments. While we continued some teaching exercises in the course, the emphasis in the course was critically examining how to design a course that draws from literature on effective teaching and learning. To facilitate learning, students designed courses in their discipline over the course of the semester. The course design is "inquiry based" and is easily replicable. While Dr. Fink's book is not necessarily designed as a "text״, it provides a great foundation for thinking about how to design courses and served this course quite well.

The Hitchhikers Guide to Course Development is designed as a resource for individuals with varying levels of course design experience. Individuals new to higher education can use this site to help design their first classroom based course integrating technology where appropriate. Experienced instructors, being encouraged to place materials within a learning management system, can use this site to decipher the differences between Web-Presence, Web-Enhanced, Web-Centric and Online courses and how to plan courses for online delivery. Instructors of online courses, looking for new ideas and ways to improve their course, can use the site to improve content development by finding sources for pre-developed content and ideas to improve student centered learning. Instructional Designers and Instructional Support Staff can use this site as a reference for themselves or as a resource for the faculty they support.

Download the supporting PDF file for this episode http://bit.ly/e2Hxxs from the Learning to Teach Online project website.Web 2.0 tools can be useful for any situation where discussion and content sharing is desired, and where accessing current information in certain topic areas can be advantageous for learning. This case study examines how and why Lubna Alam from the University of Canberra used the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) as a central hub that both provided her students with easy access to the class blogs, wiki and Twitter, and a place where information from the different technologies was amalgamated. The integration of web 2.0 technologies into the learning process is examined, highlighting how this can improve student engagement, communication and collaboration.

What do you think of this resource? Please click http://svy.mk/e6BP1G to complete a quick survey.Download the supporting PDF file for this episode http://bit.ly/mpbROh from the Learning to Teach Online project website.This case study examines how technology can be used to support an active learning strategy within face-to-face Chemistry classes. Both in-class polling software and online lectures are used as part of a comprehensive teaching strategy, designed to enable students to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. While in-class polling is not an online process, it is included within this case study to highlight how different types of technology can be used together to effectively support classroom teaching, when integrated with a carefully considered pedagogical approach.
