Development of the Monitoring Disability in Society Post Graduate Diploma Course for Online Delivery

Series
Abstract
The Monitoring Disability in Society (AHS4118 MDIS) postgraduate diploma course has been adapted with a blended online component using teaching and learning technologies. This online component ran from when the students were at UCT physically (July 2015) to end of the course (November 2015). The course had a total of 18 students from within South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. The engagement of the postgraduate students in the online space has been remarkable and at the end of the course in November 2015, there was a 93% participation level for the forum and blog Vula online engagements. This was measured based on student posting and comment engagement with their peers for the 4 online activities we had in the course. This resource contains a report on the process of moving the course to a blended model and ten student outputs.
