Engaging and informative.The animated video broke up the written sections which worked well for me.

Made me rethink some things on task-setting as well as how this could be combined with VLE and the flipped classroom concept.

Some good content, but some of the assessment questions were ambiguous e.g. 'Comments on a point made' could equally be an example of assessment as engagement (if it demonstrated learning). Yet despite acknowledging that this task answers were subjective and this was not a test, the automated marking bot still concluded this was 'not quite right'.

More pertinent than ever after a year of lockdown and online learning

Nothing happens when I reach the end - I often find it just goes back to the beginning or there is nothing to select to move on - please advise

very helpful

Benefits of distance learning noted and I will apply them to my practice.

Once again a 'subjective' test still has right and wrong answers. Also, there is no discussion of the differences between online and face-to-face learning. Why is it that so many learners and staff FAR prefer to work face-to-face, and why is that not discussed here?

Not convinced this is a productive way for most students to learn. The majority of learners need interaction with the tutor present.

Collaboration with our learners is important and this has been proven beyond any arguments throughout lockdown . Many of my students have been totally engaged in online lessons and I feel they are now struggling in the physical classroom

A short introduction in understanding the concept of synchronous learning including 3 simple examples of learner behaviour showing engagement, assessment and interaction with online tools.

"This is quite subjective so don't worry if your answers don't match ours. It isn't a test, just a question to get you thinking about the pedagogy at work here" then what is the point in making me repeat that particular task because my views weren't the exact same as yours? what is the point?

Interesting and good.

This was a really easy

Great video. I felt the speech was too fast and I was having to play catch up. The level of detail is sufficient for the topic. Again, videos don't really flow into the questions. If the questions are not right or wrong, why have a marking system. Can be demotivating for the learner. Examples of why you (EFT) have suggested those points over what we as learners felt were correct. Have I learnt anything??

good to understand this

Informative

Synchronised working uses technology to deliver learning

Enjoyable

Very useful

Ok got a badge now! Not sure if this feedback function is for you to improve site or for us to reflect. Now I've worked out the site, I like the structure - but might need to be more intuitive for kinetic learners - you will always get the instruction manual skippers in both students and staff!

An interesting module to learn new online tech for teaching.

I have bee using virtual online teaching since March 2020, whilst this was an interesting little module, I didn't learn anything I didn't know.
I did like the info graphics and the way in which it was presented.

Everything I needed to know about Collaborative learning basics was in this module.

Very handy

Wow very quick and simple with instructions all the way through

useful information, reinforces the benefits of what we are doing

it was interesting for me to assess the way in which synchronised learning online can actually be more effective than face to face teaching in the classroom. I have always thought face to face is better but there are certainly classroom activities that benefit from being delivered in this way.

It goes a brief overview of how synchronous virtual teaching can be used. I am interested in building on this further

Nice and short - and to the point. I'm working through the modules, so I don't miss anything but felt this was covering old ground. Understand that everyone has a different starting point, though, so can see its use.

Good

Good module

very useful

this was a tricky one

This module identifies the benefits of teaching and learning when learners can not physically make a session.

Good ideas and basic understanding of the role the collaborative online elearning can play.

A simple intro for inexperienced staff or users

Really useful information

Thanks - good ideas provided.

Well created bite size module that highlights the key benefits of synchronous teaching /learning.

Good details - made me think

I was interested in how I could use this as an additional to my usual classes.

The assessment at the end is not clear about who is answering a question, etc.

Neat little reminders about collaboration using digital sources. Resource links are useful.

The answers were very subjective as engagement is a very wide term for a lot of online learning!
