Synchronous meetings are sometimes so hard to organize. So that’s why I want us to focus more on building asynchronous skills.Alastair Creelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437257475474703309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175530035414490569.post-66636024646478055482017-12-21T21:31:08.932+01:002017-12-21T21:31:08.932+01:00Interesting post :) Unfortunately, asynchronous le...Interesting post :) Unfortunately, asynchronous learning is associated with the rare possibility of direct contact with other students and the teacher. This requires a lot of self-discipline from the participants.

It does necessitate the effort of the facilitator or the pre-designed course to be structured. I agree that synchronous learning is effective as the facilitator and students are able to pick up cues in voice tone or expression but in most learning spheres critical thinking is scaffold-ed when all information is gathered and mashed out. The learner is able to critique and make informed decisions. Asynchronous learning allows the individual their space to take their own stance and be confident after evaluating.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926156162290335192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175530035414490569.post-85076940394397549312017-11-10T16:41:49.670+01:002017-11-10T16:41:49.670+01:00Thank you for the post.

I realized that by working together with benefits of online tools, the experience of collaborative learning is more fun and I can learn more. I could not agree more that working face-to-face and collaborating online have its own benefits. One may not be substitute for another. We just need to use it with the right circumstances.

The project website has a lot of ideas, tips and articles on this theme if you are interested. https://effectivewebinars.wordpress.com/Alastair Creelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437257475474703309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175530035414490569.post-40348003572415659752017-11-02T12:50:23.472+01:002017-11-02T12:50:23.472+01:00During our (PBL group 3) most recent Adobe Connect...During our (PBL group 3) most recent Adobe Connect meeting, we talked about how we were actually in a synchronous and asynchronous meeting at the same time. We participated via video and microphone, but some participants also used the chat for asking and responding to questions, or for posting considerations. I quite liked that. We also talked about how this way of working could let more than the usual extroverts be active during a lecture/meeting.<br />On my computer, I never dare to leave the Adobe Connect interphase, since the screen tends to freeze if I do, but I would like to eg write in our common Google Drive document during the meeting. So tchnlogoy, while it has come very far, is still not completely "supportive"....<br />Can't figure out a good way to "sign" this post, but this is Charlotte Nilsson.

But the possibilities is now much greater than now than before - with when asynchronous learning just was a discussion forum (only) and content (mainly text). Now you can represent knowledge and communicate with all semiotic resources, to represent your knowledge, competencies, data etc. With tools such as VoiceThread, Padlet and e-books (EDUPUB format) as good examples. The new asynchronous learning spaces can challenge the LMS-plattforms modes. <br /><br />REF: http://idpf.org/edupub and http://www.idpf.org/epub/profiles/edu/10/Mats Brennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443126171606271184noreply@blogger.com
