My Physiopedia Plus courses on building skills for learning
In 2023 I put together a series of short courses for Physiopedia Plus, on the topic of building skills to support learning, which were published towards the end of the year. The stats (see image above) suggest that they’ve been well-received so far. Overview of all courses in the series, and here are the individual…

Link: Should your publications be web books?
https://electricbookworks.com/thinking/publishing-websites-for-impact/ This is such a great post from Arthur Atwell at Electric Book Works. I have so many thoughts on how I want to use these ideas, but the main one is that all of our teaching materials should be web-first. I’ve captured the list, but you really should read the full post by Arthur.

Stop thinking of the LMS as an online classroom
I’ve seen so many criticisms of online teaching, where it’s accused of not being as interactive / lively / engaging as a F2F classroom experience. There are many potential reasons for this experience, but the main one, IMO, is that the person using the LMS doesn’t realise that online teaching and learning is SO much…

A critical perspective on technology-enhanced education – World Physiotherapy webinar
In a 2020 World Physiotherapy webinar, I discussed the Covid-induced shift to online and blended learning in physiotherapy education. I urged a critical review of this transition, highlighting its potential long-term implications on teaching practices and effectiveness. In addition, I suggested using technology to foster transformative learning experiences through critical pedagogy, enhanced collaboration, and increased…

Using email as a learning management system
First of all, we should stop calling things like Moodle and Canvas “learning management systems”. At best they’re content, or student management systems. Pet peeve out the way? Tick. I’ve been advocating for low-tech solutions to the problem of remote teaching and learning ever since I noticed how many people seemed to be pushing for…

Universal principles of learning task design. Crisis edition.
It seems that everyone has decided to move teaching, learning and assessment online with a massive focus on synchronous, video-based lectures as the primary means of “delivering” the curriculum remotely. It’s as if we don’t have about 100 years of experience with distance learning to draw from and that there are no lessons to be…

Now might be a good time to stop “teaching students”
There’s a lot of anxiety among health professions educators right now as they try to move classes and entire courses online. They weren’t trained to do this, have little experience doing this, and many may not even want to do this. Hardly an inspiring thought. And I found myself agreeing with them. They didn’t sign…

Comment: Please do a bad job of putting your courses online
For my colleagues who are now being instructed to put some or all of the remainder of their semester online, now is a time to do a poor job of it. You are NOT building an online class. You are NOT teaching students who can be expected to be ready to learn online. And, most…

Resource: Online learning in a hurry
Dave Cormier has provided an excellent series of short (5 minute) videos called Online learning in a hurry, for teachers who are now expected to move their teaching and assessment online. What I really like about this collection is that it’s not a list of [insert service here] for remote teaching and learning. For example,…

IPE course project update
This post is cross-posted from the International Ethics Project site. My 4th year students have recently completed the first writing task in the IEP course pilot project. I thought I’d post a quick update on the process using screenshots to illustrate how the course is being run. We’re using a free version of WordPress which…
