Bid to merge online education with classroom studies - Shireena Al Nowais, Gulf News
An integrated learning experience with students sitting for either online or face-to-face instruction was the message from the e-merging, e-learning conference that ended yesterday. The conference, which was held at the Abu Dhabi Men's Colleges, was held under the theme Blending the Future Creating Quality Education. According to Dr Tayeb Kamali, director of the Abu Dhabi Men's College (ADMC), students of the Higher Colleges of Technology will have the opportunity for a new learning experience since the overall plan is for blended learning to be an integral part of learning. During his opening address, Dr Kamali presented a study that showed that the majority of academic leaders are opting for online education rather than face-to-face instruction. "ADMC has three significant ways for the delivery of online courses: They are either in class or blended with students spending some time in class or they are fully online and students don't spend any time in their classrooms." Interactivity is essential for the success of e-learning and online courses must be attractive, interesting and collaborative, he said.
