A Big LeapA Big Leap• From only one assessment at the end of each course to

formative assessment throughout the entire course • So, in a course with 100 students, was the lecturer to

invite each student into his office for a conversation? • Online support was the answer

New Tricks for Old New Tricks for Old DogsDogs• A need for new skills:

pedagogical, technical and even social

• A shortage of resources: Online teaching is often time consuming and the lecturers are already pressed for time

• A problem of motivation: When implementing an extensive reform, there are a number of changes to be implemented and both lecturers and students can get weary.

In ShortIn Short• In order to take advantage of the benefits

of e-learning, it is important that technical and pedagogical support is available.

• Instructional design teams with technicians, educationalists and web designers who work together is an ideal solution, but unaffordable for us

• We are hoping that a system with a portal for online pedagogy offering help for the novice and the adept alike, and with some degree of personal support, might be a way to go
