+Welcome.
The instructional approaches could be classified in terms of the conditional factors place & time as well as other factors.
Firstly, as regards place they can be implemented P1) in a classroom, called face-to-face (F2F), P2) in a distance, called online or virtual or distant, which can be further discriminated into P2a) long distance & P2b) short distance ones or P3) both in a classroom & in a distance (either in parallel or in different occasions), called blended or hybrid.
Secondly, regarding time they can be implemented T1) in the same time, called synchronous or live or real-time, T2) in different time, called asynchronous or on demand & T3) both in the same & in different time (in parallel or in different occasions), which let be called semi-synchronous.
Thirdly, with regard to other factors (such as manner, goal & content) there are numerous further classifications, e.g. open or not, which are out of the scope of this question.
Finally, from the combination of the above result 9 main alternatives: 1) F2F synchronous, i.e. on-site classes, 2) long distance synchronous, i.e. Web live classes, e.g. with videoconferencing or instant messaging, 3) long distance asynchronous, e.g. Web blogs, forums or wikis, 4) long distance semi-synchronous, e.g. MOOCs, 5) short distance synchronous, i.e. intranet live classes, 6) short distance asynchronous, e.g. intranet blogs, forums or wikis, 7) short distance semi-synchronous, e.g. VLEs/LMSs, 8) blended synchronous, i.e. both on-site & online classes & 9) blended semi-synchronous, e.g. both on-site classes & VLEs/LMSs or flipped classes.
Please share your opinion or remarks on the above classification so that it is improved.
Thank you.
I think it would be great also consider formal and informal learning as well as formal and informal. The proposal seems good for its simplicity, so I think it should be so given time and space. I hope you can then generate an ontology that considers other aspects of learning with the same simplicity that this time
Best Regards
You are right:The instructional approaches could be classified in terms of both place, time & manner.
In order to be more conscious: manner, ought to be called. Technological medium or support.
This is not a partial pose. There are many technological supports Today.There is a voice in a class, in a microphone, in a video phone, in a conference room and in a radio also. The Great programs in adult education. Relied only in personal autonomy and books,at the end of XIX.
A long long time ago the technology to write was not socialized at all. Or was socialized only in little elites. Still now there are languages, so difficult to write that only few people are able to have a great domain.. The initial consideration is good. but under the word "manner" There is really a world to reflect.
And you are from Greece
They are indeed significant approaches. It will be interesting to study the best or optimal mix of these approaches, especially of percent time allocation.
I support Alexandra Mella. "Manner" should be renamed and integrated in the classification.
Your classification of space and time is easy to unterstand.
I suppose, there will be some special cases or interactions of the technological side with time and place. In a course on Internet you can learn/work synchronously (chat, skype) and asynchronously (a task to submit) at the same time. There can be a mix of in-classroom and distance learning (e.g. using Internet tools or audiovisual documents in classroom).
Alexadrous Rafael Eddie and Egon! We are party
Ussually took the classification from a Spanish Famous author in distance education, Lorenzo Garcia Aretio 2001, he posed a position in medium Technology. Including: off site, in site. He made a double entrance table. one entrance is distance, the other is time! To fill the table you will find it is easy to include different types of class! He is the one to address the concept of intensity. ( considering the student is working Autonomously) I do not have a paper from him in english. My mistake and also dishonour
I consider this Author did a great job and consider. the major points. Really, I never find a work from him in English. Garcia Aretio is the only one considering Autonomy (of students) and intensity of the studying work, is it the same to study calculus alone for students of math. Than reflection the values in medical practice in a future. The first is just authonomy The second is presonal maturation. Garcia Arretio is the Author. I only mention a pale reflection. I am not he one that made the work
