Tony Carr:come back a slide or two
Tony Carr:we didn’t hear much
Irene Maweu:Now we can hear you
kolawole:This is one of the elements that frustrates online learning. Questions related to this was asked by Jerome yeasterday
alicebz:we missed all that
Irene Maweu:Yes Kolawole , internet connection is a bif challenge for online learning
Tony Carr:tell us when you need to change the slide
Tony Carr:face to face teaching can’t transfer exactly to online teaching – the content monster!
Tony Carr:- links to the need to remediate for online contexts
Nicola Pallitt:affordances not always positive, can be miapproprated or a good fit for context
Nicola Pallitt:misappropriated*
Tony Carr:so – lots of professional development needs in this space
Tony Carr:(do we need to move on to the next slide Jerome?)
Tony Carr:sound going a bit again
Tony Carr:ok now
Tony Carr:!
peter:Losing sound again
Tony Carr:time lags of several seconds
Tony Carr:Hi Abraham 🙂
Irene Maweu:Why cant we take face to face content into Online learning? what would be the problem?
Tony Carr:Jerome – can you see the text chat?
Tony Carr:good
Irene Maweu:what are some of the assumption that people have in learning designs that are not suitable for online learning?
Tony Carr:Jerome – are you back?
peter:Jerome, can you suggest an adaptable learning design model/template for institutions in Africa to use?
Irene Maweu:Thank you Tony
alicebz:He is trying to reconnect TC – message via hangouts
kolawole:The whole lot of content being delivered when in f2f platform cannot be taken to the online platform.
kolawole:Most times, what i do with my students in online platform is guided inquiry
Irene Maweu:what is the biggest challenge have you encoruntered so far in learning design?
kolawole:At the end of it most time i am able to achieve my goals
peter:I can see he’s(Jerome) trying to connect on a second device
Hennie Esterhuizen:Jerome is currently Participant: Please promote to Presenter
Hennie Esterhuizen:I see it has been done now
Jerome Dooga 2:I can see the chat now Tony
Jerome Dooga 2:But your audio is breaking
Irene Maweu:Hahahaha 😉
Jerome Dooga 2:I don’t have the mike though
Tony Carr:Irene Maweu: what are some of the assumption that people have in learning designs that are not suitable for online learning?
Jerome Dooga 2:Yeah. I am in the chat
Hennie Esterhuizen:There is still a possibility that Jerome 2’s mic should be enabled for the Host’s side
Tony Carr:eg that having lots of content will substitute for facilitation perhaps
Tony Carr:presenters can take the mike for themselves – will try downgrading to participant + enabling
