| description | he blended pedagogy adopted by OUM for its open and distance learning (ODL)
comprises three components; self-managed learning, face-to-face interactions and
online learning through myLMS. The nature of online learning requires high
commitment from the learners, especially self-managed learning and collaborative
online learning. Learning quantitative subjects such as financial mathematics in a
conventional environment is very demanding and it is difficult to grasp by a
majority of learners, what more learning such subject through online learning.
Interactions between the academic staff or tutors with the learners and also
amongst learners are important. Thus it is critical that quality and effective
teaching and learning progression take place in online forum discussion for such
subjects. A study is carried out to explore the effectiveness of OUM’s online
forum discussion for the subject of Mathematics for Management (BBMP 1103).
The effectiveness of the online forum discussion will be measured based on the
community of inquiry model (Garrison, Anderson and Archer, 2000). The
effectiveness of online forum participation will be evaluated using the three
essential elements in online learning process – teaching presence, social presence
and cognitive presence. The outcome of this study will be useful to facilitate
effective and quality teaching and learning process for quantitative subjects via e-
learning. (Authors' abstract) |
