Thursday, March 16, 2023
Lecturer, Salo Moodley (Academic Literacy for Business) has created a blended learning environment for first year students.
Face-to-face iKamva Orientation Sessions
The students
attended face-to-face iKamva orientation sessions, on 1 March 2023. The
lecturer wanted to ensure that the students understood were able to navigate
and engage in an online environment.
Setting the scene: Online welcome and guidance prior to lectures
The lecturer created a structured online environment, including:
- Overview of the module;
- Welcome message, including “Do’s at the university”; and
- Announcements – whereby the students are provided with a weekly “roadmap”.
Online weekly structured course information – in order to guide face-to-face discussionThe lecturer releases her eLessons on a weekly basis (scaffolded approach). Hence, the students are able to prepare for the face-to-face lecture and discussions. ‘eLessons’ include: key documents such as timetable/schedule, module guide, and weekly content/learning material (weekly objectives, readings and presentations).
Post lecture activities
The students are
expected to submit assignments, tutorial activities and also complete online
quizzes. The lecturer and tutors are
then able to download and mark these and give feedback to students.
