The number of public institutions offering complete online programs increased from 48.9% in 2002 to 70.6% in 2012 ħ7% of academic leaders rate the learning outcomes in online education as the same or superior to those in face-to-face classrooms (Allen & Seaman, 2013). More than 6.7 million students in higher education were taking at least one online course during the Fall 2011 term, an increase of 570,000 students over the previous year ģ2% of higher education students now take at least one course online A recent survey (Allen & Seaman, 2013) of more than 2,800 colleges and universities reported the following: Online learning is one of the fastest growing trends in educational uses of technology. What does the research say about blended and online learning?
Platform-specific resources and activities can also be found at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching’s BOLD website. This teaching guide presents research on the learning possibilities offered through online and blended learning, as well as effective practices for facilitating online courses. Making this shift can increase the potential for learners to take charge of their own learning process and facilitate the development of a sense of community among them. In order to harness the power this creates in education, instructors must be trained not only to use technology but also to shift the ways in which they organize and deliver material. The online classroom is a potentially powerful teaching and learning arena in which new practices and new relationships can make significant contributions to learning. As described by Palloff and Pratt (2013): Blended and online courses not only change how content is delivered, they also redefine traditional educational roles and provide different opportunities for learning. Blended (sometimes called hybrid) instruction has between 30 and 80 percent of the course content delivered online with some face-to-face interaction. Online courses are those in which at least 80 percent of course content is delivered online. Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching. BrameĬite this guide: Smith, B., & Brame, C. You can navigate to and from the Overview using the house icon.Blended and Online Learning by Blaine Smith and Cynthia J. Use the embedded file below to get a preview of the 15 effect themes: Office 2013-2106, Office 2007-2010, Subtle Solids, Banded Edge, Smokey Glass, Glow Edge, Grunge Texture, Frosted Glass, Top Shadow, Inset, Milk Glass, Riblet, Reflection, Extreme Shadow and Glossy.Įach overview will show shapes using the five effect theme styles, two tables and five SmartArt diagrams using “best match for document” and a chart using Chart Style 14.

Once a effect theme has been applied, the variants of a effect theme is available to the users when they are adding shapes, tables, SmartArt and charts, so make sure you have applied an effect theme where all the effect variants fit your brand. The only way to create a custom effects theme involves programming but unless you have very specific needs, the 15 effects themes will most likely be enough.Įffects in PowerPoint are grouped in three main effect style variant groups – subtle, moderate and intense. The effect themes can’t be edited nor can you create a new, custom effect theme inside PowerPoint (like you can with your font theme or color theme). PowerPoint 20 comes with 15 effect themes (PowerPoint 2010 has 40!) with variants of effects. The effect theme influences fills, lines, shadows, bevels and special effects of graphic objects created in PowerPoint. PowerPoint comes with a set of theme effects that can be applied to a presentation file or a template.
