Lesson Plan

MOOCs are massive open online courses that deliver content online to anyone interested in taking a course outside of the traditional university structure. There are two types of online courses: synchronous courses where participants meet virtually at scheduled times, and asynchronous courses where questions and tasks are posted for participants to complete at their convenience. Blended learning combines online and in-person learning, with five identified models ranging from mostly face-to-face instruction with some online components to fully online courses supported by in-person tutoring or computer labs.

MOOCs

Another recent modality of learning is the Massive Open Online


Course (MOOC). It is a model delivering content online to any person
who wants to take a course. It allows one to pursue learning even
outside of University or higher education formal structure.

Synchronous and Asynchronous


1. Synchronous- is a course participants meet in a virtual
classroom and discuss a topic in the lesson. So wherever they are
situated in the world, they agree on a scheduled session and log in to
join the live class.

2. Asynchronous- is when questions or tasks are posted and


course participants answer the question or post their reply at any time
most convenient to them.

Blended Learning is a combination of a learning activities wherein a


part of the lesson is delivered online while the other part is handled in
actual physical setting of a classroom.

Kinds of Blended Learning

1. Model 1: Face-to-Face Driver


In the Face-to-Face model, the teacher delivers the curricula most of
the time and utilizes online learning at certain times with the purpose
to augment or provide an alternative experience.
2. Model 2: Rotation

In a particular course or subject, students rotate on a fixed schedule


between learning online in a one-to-one, self-paced learning
environment and being inside the classroom with a face-to-face teacher.

3. Model 3: Flex

This model uses an online platform in delivers most of the course.


Support to learning is provided as needed through on-site support or by
an online tutor who facilitates the tutorial or small group sessions.

4. Model 4: Online Lab


The online-lab model uses an online platform in delivering the course
but located in a physical classroom or a computer laboratory. Since the
lessons are in Modular format and available in the online program,
teacher assistants supervise these classes.

5. Model 5: Self-Blend

The self-blend model is a system provided by the school where the


students can choose the courses they would like to have in addition to
thier typical brick-and-mortar classroom classes.
