Q: Need further explanations on A2.

A: Regarding to Assignment 2, we need to obtain comprehensive understanding on both sets of international strategies, ONLE and online learning.  In ETC645, we should have good understanding on OL instructional strategies. In ETC655, we need to use the knowledge we gained from ETC645 and ETC655 to understand the ONLE strategies.  So we need to study the relations and relationships between both sets of strategies.

Based on your knowledge and the readings, do you think both sets of strategies different or similar.  Are they related to each other? If they are related to each other, what are the relationships between both sets?  Particularly, we need to discuss them in each strategy level.  For example, how does community-community interaction (ONLE) relate to online learning community (OL)? Some may argue Community-Community interaction is larger than online learning community so online learning community is a subset of Community-Community interaction. You may not agree this argument.  Based your analysis, we need to provide a concept map to represent our argument.  Use one concept to address all strategies.  I wonder you see we shared a types of diagrams with the class earlier on Twitter.  See: Types of possible diagrams for your analysis
