[4] Web Metamorphosis Models
The goal
for the parallel model is to make a one-to-one transference of what occurs in
the pedagogical design
of the classroom to the web-based VLE. In this case, if the teaching strategy has a lecture and seminar once a week, the
same would occur online. Of course, the online advantage is there would be no time
constraint if the lecture content and the seminar discussion were done asynchronously.
Difficulty arises when there is not a direct match between the 'live' instructional event and a
corresponding online tool to simulate the process. For example, a web-cast presentation is
restricted to a static single speaker. A moving group, such as a sports event, would need more
sophisticated equipment and a production
crew.
