Presenter: Poh-Sun Goh, National University of Singapore, Singapore
Background: This workshop will demonstrate how to deliver blended eLearning using a Blog to provide access to modular content, and to host an online engagement platform, augmented by Instagram for bite-sized content review. The presenter will share practical tips by drawing from experience using this "recipe" to deliver blended faculty development workshops and symposia on eLearning locally, regionally and internationally over the last 5 years (at own university, regional conferences, APMEC and AMEE).
Who should attend: Educators involved in faculty development with an interest to learn how to use a freely available, easy to use, flexible eLearning platform and tools to support and augment their faculty development programs and activities, from an enthusiastic practitioner with experience in blended eFaculty development in multiple educational settings at local and international levels (own university, regional conferences, APMEC, and AMEE).
Structure of the workshop: The workshop will be supported by a purpose built blog and bite sized Instagram content, for pre-workshop literature review and familiarisation with the platform and tools (2 to 3 hours preparation required).
A highly interactive presentation and discussion format will then be used during the "live" workshop, focusing on why and how to use a set of online tools for blended modular eFaculty development, with the workshop itself demonstrating the presentation and audience engagement process.
Intended outcomes: Participants will develop familiarity with a blended eFaculty presentation and audience engagement process for modular faculty development, and learn how to use a freely available, easy to use, flexible eLearning platform and tools to support and augment their faculty development programs and activities.

"Technology enhanced learning or eLearning allows educators to expand access to educational content, promotes engagement with students and makes it easier for students to access educational material at a time, place and pace which suits them. The challenge for educators beginning their eLearning journey is to decide where to start, which includes the choice of an eLearning tool and platform. This article will share one educator's decision making process, and experience using blogs as a flexible and versatile integrated eLearning tool and platform. Apart from being a cost effective/free tool and platform, blogs offer the possibility of creating a hyperlinked indexed content repository, for both created and curated educational material; as well as a distribution and engagement tool and platform. Incorporating pedagogically sound activities and educational practices into a blog promote a structured templated teaching process, which can be reproduced. Moving from undergraduate to postgraduate training, educational blogs supported by a comprehensive online case-based repository offer the possibility of training beyond competency towards proficiency and expert level performance through a process of deliberate practice. By documenting educational content and the student engagement and learning process, as well as feedback and personal reflection of educational sessions, blogs can also form the basis for a teaching portfolio, and provide evidence and data of scholarly teaching and educational scholarship. Looking into the future, having a collection of readily accessible indexed hyperlinked teaching material offers the potential to do on the spot teaching with illustrative material called up onto smart surfaces, and displayed on holographic interfaces."

"Effective learning, and deep learning require interest in a topic, a commitment to learning by our students, regular and systematic participation in an educational process and program, with active engagement with the educational content and the training process. Effective teaching requires awareness of the educational background and prior experience of our students, efforts to maintain and increase motivation in our students, careful and knowledgeable selection of instructional content, and use of interactive and active learning exercises, sequenced and built into a systematic and programmatic educational and training process. Educational technology can anchor and facilitate both effective learning and teaching."

"We can manage better (to iteratively improve, share and build on) what is visible, what we can see – directly, through data, and data dashboards-visual data maps and illustrations. Data and observations, big data and small or rich data, quantitative and qualitative research (mixed methods research) gives us insights as educators into our teaching practice, its effectiveness and impact. Just as we blend the best features of traditional and online/eLearning/Technology enhanced learning in our teaching practice, we can “blend” and take advantage of “big data” or online data analytics, which when added to traditional classroom observations and measures-indicators of learning effectiveness and impact, can give us a more complete, comprehensive, and rounded picture of individual, and group learning."

"Big changes coming to podcasting: Apple is going to let the people who make podcasts learn what podcast listeners actually like — and what they ignore.
A new version of Apple’s podcast app will provide basic analytics to podcast creators, giving them the ability to see when podcast listeners play individual episodes, and — crucially — what part of individual episodes they listen to, which parts they skip over, and when they bail out of an episode."

Students should learn the information for which the internet is a poor substitute. Getting information from the internet takes time, so they should memorize facts that are needed fast and frequently."
"In the beginning, the Internet was a place to which we went; now it is a space where we are ... Yet the Internet has more netizens than any country has citizens ...
Identity becomes an amalgamation of social preferences expressed through traditional categories such as religion and ethnicity as well as newer communities built around professions, experiences, and causes ...
Connectivity brings individuals the choice to belong to other places than those they do or to have loyalty to multiple places at the same time ... The phrase "your network is your net worth" applies very much to individuals and nations both."

"A good teacher is continuously observant of student learning behaviour, and seeks evidence of student engagement with the learning material and experience, as well as evidence of learning, and also proactively solicits feedback from students and peers to continually improve the learning
experience. Good chefs can be seen circulating amongst the diners, observing their eating behaviour, chatting with and seeking feedback directly from diners, as well as inviting fellow chefs to sample their culinary offerings. As teachers we have an opportunity to do this both in traditional classrooms, as well as online settings, through our own direct observations, as well as with online behavioural and data analytics. Chefs often modify their cooking, and refine this in “real time”. Similarly teachers can modify their teaching, and the learning experience dynamically, in response to the observed behaviour and feedback from learners and peers."
"We feel that there are close parallels between the culinary arts and practices with the teaching and learning practices of medical educators. In this article we explore this culinary analogy as a means to help medical educators think about their educational practices and to develop their scholarship in medical education."

A meta-analysis published by the Department of Education in 2010 concluded that “on average, students in online learning conditions performed modestly better than those receiving face-to-face instruction,” with larger effects seen if the online learning was combined with face-to-face instruction. This meta-analysis encompassed research literature on career technology, higher education, medical training, corporate training, military training, and K–12 education.
