Having been a "Lecturer" for one of UQ's inaugural MOOC's (on Hypersonics), I can confirm that content delivery methods can undergo modernisation. This can also include interactions (which I experienced with hundreds of students worldwide). But, I still believe that a classical class room based approach has many benefits. A spirit of co-learning and immediate access to the lecturer offer a superior learning experience. With lecture recordings being available, it makes it easier to introduce greater flexibility (no need to take furious notes on EVERYTHING!).

I agree that lectures modified by interaction - whether through technology or otherwise - will be important into the future. In my area though I am seeing a divergence of student learning and outcomes. Active students take advantage of course flexibility to find a mode that works for them, while those who are coasting tend to disengage - thinking that they can cram knowledge into their heads just before assessment due dates with nothing done in between. Unless we structure courses carefully the flexibility of new technologies is doing less active students a disservice.

I agree that on-line learning and campus learning cannot replace one another but if used together can be synergistic in improving teaching and learning experience. Good educational design can harness the merits of both. To me, being part of a university campus is far more than just attending lectures, it is a place where ideas are exchanged, friendships are formed and support networks are fostered. I don't think that an on-line community can replace those very personal and human interactions.

PI thought both articles were good. Although Cochrane does a good job of highlighting some of the key issues of producing meaningful and effective content on campus, the lecture is not just a space for the great speaker or "star performer". Rather all academics should understand their own strengths and limitations to tailor their lectures for maximum student learning. I completely agree with the sentiment of the other author that on-campus and online learning are two different experiences and maximising social aspects of learning on campus are essential

I don't agree that the campus is dead. I do agree that while online learning and on-campus learning both have benefits, they can't replace each other.
I feel very strongly that on-campus & face to face learning experiences need to offer something that not only keeps people coming to lectures, but also sets the experience apart. We have a unique opportunity to offer what a computer can't - personal connections, relationships with content, teachers and peers, individualised attention and the co-creation of knowledge and value.

I agree that the lecture plays an important role is educating BIG groups of people and also that we do need to consider the form, to create something more engaging and challenging where explicit learning takes place.
I also agree that university is a unique learning opportunity due to the variety of experiences available.
I don't think technology can replace any of this but it can play a role in the learning and teaching.

I liked both, but having done on-line learning, I found the experience superficial and atomising. I think that the assumptions made about poor attendance at lectures need examination, similarly, the refrain of students' incredibly busy lives. If you're enrolled full time, that means 40 hours a week of uni work. On-line learning gives the impression of speed and ease of learning, and that isn't the case at university.

A well designed and delivered online course has its place, but I don't think anything can compare to the f2f on-campus experience (particularly for recent Yr 12 grads). There are enormous benefits to be had from being part of the university culture - both academically and socially.

A suitably blended programme is the ideal, but there should always be a place for good quality teaching, whether it be via a lecture or a more active classroom experience.

Whilst I believe there are so many benefits to students coming to campus, students seem to be demanding the option of more flexibility so that they have the choice as to whether to come on campus or learn at times that suit them.

From personal experience, external study (even with the best technological resources available) can be frustrating and  isolating. Being able to discuss an idea face-to-face with like-minded people will continue to be a valuable role of universities, I hope.

I think coming on to campus will always be a draw card for students. Especially UQ St. Lucia campus. It has so much to offer. But then again, the student's need to feel as though they belong to a community to spend time on campus outside of class-time.
