Deakin Online Course Cases

Link to website
via James Farmer at incsub.org
This is a series of case studies about various online offerings at Deakin Uni. They each include audio (I do like the small audio grabs by topic) and walkthroughs of the courses with text box explanations. Being from Deakin the examples are higher ed sector. I found the categorising and cross referencing of examples made navigating the site fairly easy - for example you can view all the Problem Based Learning Examples or all the Post Grad examples.

Intro from site
"Welcome to our Contemporary online teaching case site. It features the work of over 70 Deakin University staff in developing and using new media and online technologies to foster student learning. The site was developed through University strategic teaching and learning innovation funding. It has been designed to help teachers work creatively and productively in their online teaching.

Each of the cases locate new media and online technologies in the context of broader views of what it means to teach and learn effectively in different disciplines and professional fields in tertiary education.

You can browse the cases by Discipline, Faculty and Case participant via the top menu. You can engage with the cases by approaches to learning (and teaching) and graduate attributes which they illustrate, study level, degree of online-ness and types of online features adopted, and other tools used. These views into the cases can be found on the left hand menu. You'll also find in this menu 2003 Deakin Online Teaching and Learning Fellowship cases and information on the site itself, including the project team who developed it."
