Three distinct waves of distance education can be identified, notably correspondence study, open education and video delivery, and currently, Internet or Web-based distance education. Each wave possesses its own unique pedagogical specificity; however, the novelty of the third wave presents opportunities for in-depth examinations of its emerging pedagogy. Many individual characteristics have been ascribed to Web-based education, Including bi-directional or multi-directional communications and unique dialogic practices. Yet, because of its newness, few detailed pedagogical models exist surrounding Web-based education. Three research questions ground the study: (1) What is the pedagogy of third wave distance education in a new Web-based program in Clinical Bioethics at a Midwestern institution of higher education/medical education and how can this pedagogy be articulated? (2) What is unique about the dialogic practices of third wave distance education in contrast to earlier waves of distance education or traditional on-site or face-to-face education? (3) How does Web-based dialogue contribute to a unique learning environment, and what does that environment resemble? |
