Why College Students Turned From Being Down on Remote Learning to Mostly in Favor of It<\/strong> <\/a>— from edsurge.com by Robert Ubell<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Over time, with months of practice as the pandemic proceeded, instructors and students learned how to use remote tools. Continuously online, enormous numbers gained proficiency with digital learning software. \u201cThe quality of a well-run synchronous, online class can now rival\u2014and in some respects exceed\u2014the quality of the in-person equivalent,\u201d observes John Villasenor at the Brookings Institution.<\/p>\n

The good news is that online learning is no longer reviled and resented, but after a rocky tryout in the pandemic, it\u2019s now just another higher ed choice in which students and faculty, after years of digital stress, have largely adapted to it.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nOnline teaching allows for learning to be delivered affordably, at scale, and with fewer infrastructure constraints than face-to-face instruction\u2014it does not require a university to have hundreds of people in the same room at the same time. As universities move content online, staff usually turn to teaching via asynchronous videos and synchronous videoconferences (Cook et al., 2010). Videoconferences may be more conducive to student\u2013teacher interactivity (Al-Samarraie, 2019;\u00a0Bernard et al., 2009), but most studies in our review had the same level of active learning in the video and comparison condition, meaning teachers can maintain active learning while shifting to video. When they do, videos lead to better student learning than many other teaching methods, even when compared with face-to-face teaching. We suggest that these results are because videos may provide students with control over their level of cognitive load, they allow authentic demonstrations of skills, and they enable teaching staff to edit according to multimedia learning principles. Pragmatically, videos allow students to fit learning around their other commitments, and are less reliant than videoconferences on stable, high-speed internet connections (Al-Samarraie, 2019), because they can be buffered to the user\u2019s device. Many of these findings are still contingent on students having access to online learning (Warschauer & Matuchniak, 2010), so ensuring students have social and technical support is a critical challenge for universities around the world. Provided those supports are available, universities can effectively switch to video for efficient and scalable education. Video appears to have a range of benefits in higher education settings.<\/p>\n

Online Tools and Web Applications<\/strong> <\/a>— from schrockguide.net by Kathy Schrock<\/p>\n

Web tools and online utilities have become more full-featured and useful over the years.<\/p>\n

Here are some links to various online tools to help both teaching and learning. The online tools all work with laptops and Chromebooks unless stated otherwise. The ones that have Chrome apps available have a link to the Chrome Web Store link.<\/p>\n
