### Quick recap
- Terminology: webinar, xMOOC, cMOOC
- On-line platform for systematic instructions, suitable for flipped-classroom
---
### Relevance for Teacher Education
- [Teach-Now](https://teach-now.edu/): getting a teaching certificate through online training
- What do you think of this certification program?
---
### Pros and cons of cloud-based instruction
> I studied at the Fernuniversität Hagen. It’s a university more or less completely based on cloud based learning....I love, that i am very flexible in how i study and when i study. I also enjoy that i can study and read for myself. ...But i really miss talking about the subjects with other students.
- What were your general impressions about online learning in the teacher education program in the past year ?
---
### What makes an effective seminar also makes a great webinar
- have "coffee break" for social talk
- every participant work together to achieve a shared goal (with Google Doc or other cloud-based tools)
- have variety of activities
- check in and wrap up
- what do you think it's important for an engaging online seminar?
---
### Cloud-based but without videos
- requires less technology, but still engaging
- useful also for leaners who prefer textual, asynchronous discussion
---
### Example 1
Have you taking margin notes on your books before?
---
### Why do you annotate?
- highlight important points
- comment your own ideas
- raise questions
- ...
- but not for social communication, right?
---
### Cloud-based annotation
- [Collaborative and social annotation](https://web.hypothes.is/education/)
- teacher can post questions directly along the text
- students can discuss with each other instantly while they read
- works for other medium too
- facilitate knowledge comprehension, tansmission, communication and even creation

<!-- ### Looking back... -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Multi-Media Learning -->
<!-- What’s the unique advantage of each medium? -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Game-Based Learning -->
<!-- What can we learn from the game designs? -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Embodied Learning with AR/VR -->
<!-- What does immersion in a virtual environment feels like? And why would that experience benefit learning? -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Personalized and Adaptive Learning with AI -->
<!-- Can artificial intelligence subsititute teacher's responsibility? -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Child Development and Technology -->
<!-- How can we use digital experience to foster not hinder children's development? -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Cloud-Based Learning -->
<!-- How does the traditional teacher-student interaction changed by the internet? -->
<!-- <\!-- these are pretty big questions, cannot be answered with an absolute statement, but at least you might have some ideas now how to approach these issues -\-> -->
<!-- --- -->
<!-- ### Last words -->
<!-- - To understand how tools work is the preconditon of good instructional decisons. -->
<!-- <\!-- that's why we have intensive demo and surveying many different technologies -\-> -->
<!-- - Technology maybe new, but what makes instruction effective stays unchanged. -->
<!-- - New technology is a method/tool, not a solution. -->
<!-- <\!-- - on the flip side, technology isn't everything, it helps but not determines good instruction -\-> -->
