Online Teacher Development Course - Research

Over the last few months I have been working with Bell Educational Services developing online and blended learning courses for English language teacher development. This has been an interesting project and one that has pushed me to review the way I think about online teacher development and the way courses and course interaction is developed using Moodle.



Coming through this process though I feel there are still some areas where I have remaining questions which I haven't been able to answer from the existing research I have access to, so for this reason I am working with Bell to gather new data which we will share with anyone who completes the questionnaire and which will later be analysed and written up for publication.


The questionnaire should take less than 5 minutes of your time, so if you have 5 minutes to contribute and share your needs, knowledge, opinions or expereinces of online teacher development, then please click this link and answer as many of the questions as you can.

Many thanks

    Hello Nik,

    I'm about to do an online teacher develoment course in March. Should I wait until after I've done the course or should I do the survey now?

    Hi Sophie

    By all means do the survey now. I'm just as interested in what people want and expect as I am in opinions of those people who have already done a course.

    Thanks

    Nik, it was a delight to take the survey. It took a lot longer than five minutes though - Just like in my online learning situation, and my daughter's, totally unanticipated interruptions (SIX) turned a quick survey into a half hour. Fortunately, the survey didn't close in the middle!

    Hi Nik,

    I'm one of your CALL Pakistan participant in Multan.

    What model do you suggest for an online teaching programme in terms of the modes & tools of communication with students that is valid and doesn't make students feel 'not-being-attended'.

    Hi Ali

    There's no simple answer to this. The model you base your course on has to depend on the context in which your students are working and the topic or content your students need to cover. It's also very much dependent on the resources you have available, especially in terms of tutor time to support your students. Hopefully when I have the results of this research I'll be in a better position to answer those questions.

    Hi Nadia

    I'm in the process of launching some of my own courses and I'll also be piloting a course for Bell on Blended Learning very soon.
