eLearning at Fanshawe College

eLearning has become a necessary facet of education as student demand for flexible options increases and as research continues to show its value. Whether teaching takes place in-person or online, (see Getting to Know Your Course for a refresher on modes of delivery), faculty need to engage students in eLearning as outlined in Fanshawe's policy on Online Learning and Educational Technology (A115). eLearning includes all forms of electronically-supported media, information, and communication technologies used to support teaching and learning. It can occur in or out of the classroom and be self-paced, synchronous, or asynchronous. 

For courses that are web-enhanced, this usually means that we make professor contact information, grades, assignment details, and certain learning resources available through FanshaweOnline (FOL), the College’s Learning Management System (LMS). For details on these requirements including a start of term checklist, refer to the page on FanshaweOnline Setup.

For courses that are in a blended format or fully online, additional planning and action are needed to ensure that students are engaged and successful in the online space. For professors whose own experience didn't include a lot of learning in this style, this can be a leap! The following guides and resources are designed to support teaching and learning pedagogy for eLearning at Fanshawe College. 

For more information about any of the topics covered here, go to FanshaweLearns (login required) to register for a scheduled workshop, or direct any questions to the Centre for Teaching and Learning at CTL@fanshawec.ca.
