Hello, Gesseneck, I have interest in blended learning and e-learning which I have been involved with. However, could you offer more details about the Three Pillar concept? Count me in when you kick off the project!
In the last years, the school management systems have become an important tool for the efficacy of the e-leader. These systems emphasize an information and e-communication flow between all organization departments. The aim of this study is to emphasize how the new technologies can help the teachers. Also, the use of the information and communication in schools and the future of the teaching regarding to the new functions and roles of the teachers in the next stage of distance education is analyzed. The e-leader or e-mentor is have to be studied. The e-leadership has arisen more than one decade ago. We have also to analyze the main strengths and skills of the e-leader and his importance in the distance education management. Finally, the general question which guides this research is: Will the virtual leadership bring along with it a real progress for the e-education? We live in the e-generation
Dear Ingrid, you are very right. I am sending you some information on Three pillars blended learning, that we are establishing and would be interested in having your opinion&input.
Whilst the increasing use of technologies are omnipresent in HE Ingrid, it does not guarantee better quality education, or any major shift in paradigm for some students and academics.
Innovators are innovative by nature, just as adaptors remain passive, and again the same goes for the students. Hence the title of my book, based on the research I conducted at our Uni which has some interesting findings regarding this. It is available at BDL Malta; vide link
Again leadership is something of a character trait though I try to instil it in students while using PBL, BE IT F-2-f, online, or was past practice blended learning. It also applies for work based learning, so any emoderator has to use methods to diffuse leadership skills among learners
As, I am a deputy director of open learning center, Ain Shams University, Egypt,
we just started a project to apply blended learning system, and we do not know yet whither the learners will benefit or not... and of curse the kind of difficulties we my encountered during implementation. We may need your advise. Thanks
Ahmed Mohamed Fahmy Yousef, I like your article : http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/2032/3270, and I believe that our community on education would benefit if you share with us your most recent experience, especially as it should cover COVID pandemic period when blended learning has received great stimulus and high appreciation and enormous field of implementations
