The article then reflects on Emergency Remote Teaching during COVID-19 and the ability to evaluate in typical ways familiar from media comparison studies, and concludes with some final thoughts about the temptation to equate Emergency Remote Teaching with online learning during these evaluations. One of my key findings of this article is the listing of the different variables that comprise online learning. Means et al. (2014) divide online learning into nine dimensions:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Online learning design options (moderating variables)<\/h3>\n<div class=\"2-col-rte-70\">\n<p><strong>Modality<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fully online<\/li>\n<li>Blended (over 50% online)<\/li>\n<li>Blended (25\u201350% online)<\/li>\n<li>Web-enabled F2F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pacing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Self-paced (open entry, open exit)<\/li>\n<li>Class-paced<\/li>\n<li>Class-paced with some self-paced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Student-Instructor Ratio<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&lt; 35 to 1<\/li>\n<li>36\u201399 to 1<\/li>\n<li>100\u2013999 to 1<\/li>\n<li>&gt; 1,000 to 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pedagogy<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Expository<\/li>\n<li>Practice<\/li>\n<li>Exploratory<\/li>\n<li>Collaborative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Role of Online Assessments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Determine if student is ready for new content<\/li>\n<li>Tell system how to support the student (adaptive instruction)<\/li>\n<li>Provide student or teacher with information about learning state<\/li>\n<li>Input to grade<\/li>\n<li>Identify students at risk of failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructor Role Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Active instruction online<\/li>\n<li>Small presence online<\/li>\n<li>None<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Student Role Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listen or read<\/li>\n<li>Complete problems or answer questions<\/li>\n<li>Explore simulation and resources<\/li>\n<li>Collaborate with peers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Online Communication Synchrony<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Asynchronous only<\/li>\n<li>Synchronous only<\/li>\n<li>Some blend of both<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Source of Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automated<\/li>\n<li>Teacher<\/li>\n<li>Peers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Barbara Means, Marianne Bakia, and Robert Murphy,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Learning-Online-What-Research-Tells-Us-About-Whether-When-and-How-1st\/Means-Bakia-Murphy\/p\/book\/9780415630290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\"><em>Learning Online: What Research Tells Us about Whether, When and How<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(New York: Routledge, 2014).\u00a0<a title=\"Jump back to footnote 8 in the text.\" href=\"https:\/\/er.educause.edu\/articles\/2020\/3\/the-difference-between-emergency-remote-teaching-and-online-learning#fnr8\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">\u21a9<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An article of EDUCAUSE entitled &#8220;The Difference Between Emergency Remote Teaching and Online Learning&#8221; reflects online learning experiences during a crisis such as the COVID-\u200b19&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","category-higher-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions\/125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/90"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.christiansailer.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
