Remote and online learning

In a mobile world, learning is no longer confined to a static time and place. Face-to-face and online learning, or a blend of the two, are now equally suitable choices. The goal should be for quality learning in either contexts. The focus needs to be to create a unique online learning environment that suits the needs of the learners, not an online replica of face-to-face school. There are a couple of key challenges. The first is to ensure that any online and blended pedagogy is potentially stronger than a real time learning experience. The second is to ensure that online learning occurs in highly relational, collaborative contexts. No learner should ever feel alone in cyberspace.
