ICT in Education Studio Belinda Allan

Welcome to ICT in Education's Five Minute Friday, where we talk about ICT hints, tips, and methods for online, blended and in the classroom learning in five minutes or less.

In this episode, we're going back to basics with critical elements when designing for online teaching.

Welcome back to Masaryk University Language Centre's ICT Interview Series where we talk to language teachers about their ICT usage. At the moment we're focusing on online pedagogy, and how to redesign face-to-face courses to take advantage of advances in online tools, learning management systems and distance learning techniques.

In this episode, we're talking to Chris Williams from Masaryk University's Language Centre about group cohesion. We talk about how to design group cohesion into our courses and why we should bother. I ask the question, isn't it just extra work for the teacher? We also talk about lessons learnt along the way and how to recover from non-cohesive groups. And lastly, we talk about what sort of numbers might work best.
