Online Distance Learning - How to transition from Face-to-Face Instruction

Given recent events surrounding COVID-19 and the requirements for physical distancing, many institutions around the world now have to suddenly switch to working remotely and from face-to-face instruction to online distance learning. This requires us to think differently and more flexibly about the way that we facilitate learning. For example, online distance learning does not have to be passive and indeed should not be if it is to replace face-to-face learning; online distance learning can be interactive and collaborative.

In this session, we will explore the differences between face-to-face learning and learning online at a distance. Particular questions we will consider are: Is collaborative learning possible in online settings? How does assessment work in an asynchronous setting?

In addition, we will discuss some challenges surrounding online distance learning.

Facilitator: Florent Zwiers, Parliamentary Institute of Cambodia
