CALT Kōrero – Busting the myths about online, flexible and distance learning (OFDL)
The September 2023 CALT Korero brings to you a group of experienced OFDL teachers who will discuss the realities of teaching by distance.
OFDL is often tarred with a negative brush: it is a poor substitute for in-person education; students dislike it; teachers find it to be educationally lacking; one would only contemplate OFDL as a last option.
The panel in this CALT Korero will bust the many myths that surround OFDL as they talk about the frustrations and challenges as well as the joys and the immense satisfaction that can be attained through teaching well-designed courses that meet student needs.
