Models and learning activities to promote active on-line learning

Four Instructional Models

At UST, we find faculty adopt different degrees of integrating traditional teaching mode with on-line learning and teaching in their courses. As a result, we have identified four types of instructional models that are progressive in nature i.e. the higher the model, the more elements of OLT are applied in the learning experience.

	Models
1	Basic supplements On-line information supplements to face-to-face learning. Supplements used to aid course management tasks and course related information dissemination Platform to promote e-communication among students and between teaching staff and class.
2	Mixed mode On-line learning activities / contents supplements to face-to-face learning. Activities / contents such as on-line exercises, pre-test and post-tests, lecture notes, interactive demonstrations, etc. to promote higher order learning before and after lecture / tutorials.
3	On-line learning with supplementary meetings Face-to-face activities used to supplement mostly on-line learning. Activities such as group discussions, case studies, final assessments, etc. are conducted in person to take advantage of face-to-face communication.
4	Complete on-line learning All course contents and activities are delivered on-line. Students' learning experience will be totally on-line. Basic infrastructure of academic support is also offered on-line.
