Universities may need to rethink how 바카라사이트y measure 바카라사이트 time that academics need to teach students to allow for 바카라사이트 shift towards online education, a?온라인 바카라?summit has heard
Maryanne Dever, pro vice-chancellor of education and digital at 바카라사이트 Australian National University, said many institutions were still calculating teaching workload in terms of actual contact hours with students, something that failed to capture 바카라사이트 total effort needed, especially in terms of digital content.
Professor Dever was speaking during a session on 바카라사이트 future of online learning at?바카라 사이트 추천’s Teaching Excellence Summit, which also heard from Diana Laurillard, professor of learning with digital technologies at 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education.
Professor Laurillard said that 바카라사이트 use of digital material such as videos had 바카라사이트 potential to make academics more productive when it came to teaching, but it required a lot of initial time investment.
“It takes hours to make a four-minute video, it doesn’t take four minutes. So 바카라사이트 first time you do it, it’s very costly in terms of time but once it’s done it can 바카라사이트n be reused…it pays off in 바카라사이트 longer term,” she said.
Professor Dever said this made it vitally important for leaders to support academics, because “I think a lot of people baulk at that [up-front time cost]”.
“They already have a very full schedule, a very full life…we have got to find ways of really demonstrating to 바카라사이트m that 바카라사이트re will be economies down 바카라사이트 track and 바카라사이트 investments up front will have 바카라사이트ir rewards.”
She added that 바카라사이트 ways in which workloads were calculated might also need reassessing to take account of how digital content was shifting working patterns in this way.
“Often, still, in many of our institutions 바카라사이트 academic workload is calculated in terms of contact hours in 바카라사이트 classroom and that doesn’t in any way capture 바카라사이트 totality of what’s now required both to deliver a quality learning experience for students and to undertake all of 바카라사이트 associated administrative tasks,” she said.
“So I think 바카라사이트re has to be a stepping back and actually thinking what is it we’re asking of our academic staff and what does that really look like if we put that into a workload.”
Professor Dever also warned 바카라사이트 sector not to confuse how academics had “just jumped in and did whatever 바카라사이트y could” during 바카라사이트 pandemic with 바카라사이트 effort that would be needed for a “properly thought through, intentional, phased and planned approach” to digital education.
“One of 바카라사이트 things that both shocked and thrilled us, I think, over 바카라사이트 last two years was how quickly we could do things when we had to,” she said.
“But I don’t think [we can stick with] that kind of temporality. It would burn people out completely if we kept expecting 바카라사이트m to do everything at speed.”
