- @awcheney As teacher I 2 prefer discovery over feeding. But there are some indications that bad discovery is worse than bad feeding. #edchat in reply to awcheney #
- @davidwees Too many types of illiteracy for 1 solution. I'm currently thinking about an online literacy course for dyslexic pupils. #edchat in reply to davidwees #

- Accessible and open resources are essential for e-learning but so is remembering that there's more than one kind of literacy. #edchat #
- @davidwees Using accessible resources (eg DAISY), text2speech, multimedia, etc can make e-learning available even to the illiterate. #edchat in reply to davidwees #
- @teachtgs E-learning is a mixed blessing for literacy accessibility. But on balance it presents fewer barriers than f2f instruction. #edchat #
- Learning networks & teacher presence are essential for elearning. Autodidacts often just learn indiscriminate facts w/o relevance. #edchat #
- @awcheney Learners & educators need to collaborate on the curation of available content. But unguided selfdiscovery is not education #edchat in reply to awcheney #
- RT @rliberni: Thanks for great moderation! @esolcourses & @shellterrell #teachertuesday #edchat #
- @jerridkruse Disagree. Computers can provide many concrete multisensory experiences. Just not all that's necessary. #edchat in reply to jerridkruse #
- Some 'great' classroom teachers are great performers. This may not translate online. Some are great educators and will shine online. #edchat #
- @awcheney E-learning should not be built around content consumption but there needs to be content. Online lectures r great for that. #edchat #
- @ryflinn I have changed my mind on elearning over last 2 years. One f2f, second online HE teaching. Found online more effective. #edchat #
- @ryflinn Good point. Like everything in education this is going to be an incremental change. Too slow for some, too fast for others. #edchat in reply to ryflinn #
- School may provide safe space 4 some students dangerous 4 others. Same with e-learning. Teachers must know their students in both. #edchat #
- Ditto: RT @lisa_maren: Some activities can't be done online. But my online class had cooperative learning, laughter, debates, games. #edchat #
- A dream: Schools where students meet spontaneously to continue discussion started online and to teach each other vocational skills. #edchat #
- Imagine a day of watching 3 TED-like talks at home, then discuss online. Compare with 6 hours in classroom. #edchat #
- @Mamacita I speak about EL v F2F all the time anywhere to anyone who will listen-never thought bravery was required. Am I in danger? #edchat in reply to Mamacita #
- @nainisingh I still like going to (un)conferences. But individual lectures or one-day workshops/symposia are better online. #edchat in reply to nainisingh #
- RT @theteachinggame: I feel like students are more likely to express what's going on with them in an anonymous online context #edchat #
- @chrismayoh After a year of webinars, I prefer to attend and deliver online lectures-no travel, more opportunity for questions. #edchat in reply to chrismayoh #
- We run 2 online courses (w adults). One with 1-week live induction. Don't see much difference in subsequent online socialization. #edchat #
- In online learning students no longer have to be limited by the serendipity of their classroom. They can make wider connections. #edchat #
- RT @bethanyvsmith: We have to stop thinking of online learning as self-paced or complete CBT. DE is no longer correspondence course! #edchat #
- @dcinc66 @bethanyvsmith Another benefit of e-learning is that many more settings are shareable and reusable (not just materials). #edchat in reply to dcinc66 #
- No-classroom e-learning may never fully replace K-12. But it could provide meaningful alternatives for many students today. #edchat #
- RT @rliberni: RT @drdouggreen: Suspended kids should go right online. Gr8 this could be an answer for some of them #edchat #
- f2f in pure elearning like OU is often important because it provides space to focus free of external commitments. #edchat #
- Many students/teachers still welcome f2f. But often more because it looks like learning than for its effectiveness. #edchat #
- Rinse and repeat: RT @tomwhitby: Whatever arguments can be made against Online learning can probably also be made for F2F. #edchat #
- Skinner's 1968 vision for teaching machines to free teachers to focus on the human aspect of teaching is as important in e-learning. #edchat #
- @ryflinn Agree. It is important that we don't assume students only learn in one way online (as w/ classroom). Embrace the lurkers! #edchat in reply to ryflinn #
- Well put: RT @CliveSir: All the teachers released by online ed could be reemployed as childcarers. Oh, hang on… #edchat #
- In online learning only meaningful learner presence counts (if it is structured around interaction and not content consumption). #edchat #
- Classroom learning fosters the illusion that the student has contributed to their learning just by showing up. #edchat #
- Online learning can be structured so that all students are engaged in some way. #edchat #
- If schooling were about learning, distance learning might replace classroom. But K-12 schools have an important childcare function. #edchat #
- RT @doriedance: RT @tomwhitby: #Edchat Topic coming up in 25 minutes: Will online or distance learning replace classroom learning? #
