Isolation and distraction are among the downsides of remote learning, even after two years of “panic-gogy”, which makes intentional online design and student support as important as ever

Universities will also need to carefully consider the relative merits of housing courses on, and offering them via a MOOC platform as opposed to doing this themselves. Whilst it’s easy to make a fairly unsophisticated argument that going it alone means not incurring any 3rd party costs, HEIs need to conduct a cost benefit analysis in reference to their strategy to come to sound decisions.

It’s also worth noting that this doesn’t need to be an either/or decision, in fact a horses for courses approach could be effective, especially where institutions are confident in reaching and recruiting from the target audience themselves and where they have a strong online learning proposition already.

In essence what characterises all of this advice is deliberate, strategic, well-informed and  thought-through decision making in relation to MOOC platform partnerships. Some universities have not always been very rigorous in this respect.

How students are assessed is among the most totemic issues in pedagogy. Debbie McVitty finds out what it takes to make assessment change happen

Unlike some of my peers, I'm not an opponent of the multiple-choice quiz. It's a convenient and efficient means of assessing e-learners, if it's done well. The problem, unfortunately, is that it's often done poorly. So poorly, in fact, it's embarrassing.
