Telediscussion course pattern alternating telelectures with discussion sessions¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The seminar's structure paired each expert telelecture with a discussion session about it. Of twenty class sessions, "Eight of these class sessions were devoted to telelectures, eight were discussionperiods about the telelecture, one was an introductorylecture," plus a site visit and examinations. Pre-lecture literature sent by each telelecturer gave the eleven students time to peruse it before the lecture, and Tuesday sessions discussed that literature before Thursday telelectures.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Telelecturers supply relevant literature well in advance so students can read it before the telelecture.

Constraints¶

Time limitations in a quarter system made interspersing classroom theory lectures difficult, according to the article.

Target Learners¶

graduate students in library science

Target Goals¶

understanding information retrieval systems and projects

Claims¶

Examples¶

Schedule telediscussion courses weekly in two-and-one-half-hour sections with discussion before and after each telelecture
