abstract |
Virtual universities and virtual learning environments are becoming increasingly accessible
to faculty wishing to develop Web-based courses. They can provide a convenient cognitive
framework to assist educators in moving towards new technology-based teaching methods.
The University of Strathclyde has developed a series of faculty development workshops
based around the conceptual model of Clyde Virtual University (http://cvu.strath.ac.uk)
in an attempt to promote cultural change within the institution. The virtual university,
whilst providing examples of good practice in the use of the new technologies, is
also used as a delivery medium for the courses themselves, and as a place where participants
can communicate with each other and archive their own materials. This paper explains
the necessity for such a conceptual framework to overcome barriers faculty face in
developing Web-based materials. It describes the Clyde Virtual University and the
way in which innovative approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment in a virtual
setting can aid the development of a fully professionalized teaching force in higher
education. |
