The Eight Learning Events Model: A Pedagogic Conceptual Tool Supporting Diversification of Learning Methods.

This paper presents the eight Learning Events Model (8LEM), a pedagogical reference framework which was used, in more than 100 online courses, as a starting point for instructional planning. Besides supporting teachers in early stages of the learning design continuum, the paper shows how this learning/teaching model, as a professional development tool, prompts them to diversify the learning methods experienced by students in their courses. A three-pronged rationale about the importance of this diversification with respect to “mathetic” competence development, epistemology and personalization is also submitted to discussion.

From Expository Teaching to First e-Learning Course Production: Capture in a 17 Online Course Sample of a Pedagogical Pattern Facilitating Transition

This paper discusses an activity structure, RQAT, mined from a study of 17 on-line courses. It formats this structure as a pedagogical pattern and presents it as an abstraction to support staff development, especially faculty willing to incorporate first online components to enhance face to face course.
