Join Sir John Daniel for a review of open and distance learning (ODL)’s 2,000-year history, starting with St. Paul’s letters to modern day MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). In this 1-hour session, Sir John draws on his 50 years of experience in open and distance learning to reveal four sets of basic concepts: two trios and two dyads. • The first trio (access, quality, cost) identifies the revolutionary impact technology can have on education. • The second trio (learning materials, student support, logistics) gives us the secret of quality ODL. • The two related dyads, (independence/interaction and synchronicity/asynchronicity) demonstrate that effective ODL requires a balance of pedagogy. Understanding and applying these basic concepts help faculty, instructors and institutions integrate ODL into their courses and programs more effectively as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
