Topic 4 - Reflection on how I can provide support, facilitation and scaffolding for students in online and blended learning environments.

The five stage model is something we discussed a lot in our PBL group. 

On the homepage G. Salmon (2013) gives us a great explanation of the concept. But what about when the students enter a program. Does this model apply for each course ore does it take the entire programme to reach level five? Once the students have reached stage five does they stay there?

During our stage of investigation we came upon a revised Salmon Model. This contains an extra arrow where the final three steps are repeated every time the group starts a new activity.

The infographics above were produced by Megan Kime as adaptations of the Staff and Department Development Unit online resource on Gilly Salmon's Five Stage Model for Teaching and Learning Online

The reversed model made it easier to discuss our questions (our findings are in the presentation).
