Genealogical Research OnlineOver the last two decades the world has become increasingly tech savvy. A large majority of people worldwide have access to both the internet and a laptop,
smartphone or similar internet supporting device. Under these conditions, online based education, or e-learning, has all the potential to educate people on a global
scale. In order to feasibly reach students in the global classroom, with its inherent levels of diversity, an e-learning course needs a robust design that not only supports an online pedagogy, but learner accessibility and inclusivity as well.
One subject matter that is in need for such a design is practical Irish genealogical research; as it
has both a lack of an e-learning presence coupled with international student demand.
The purpose of this study was to create a sample, online based Irish genealogy course that combines E-learning Theory with the inclusivity and accessibility focused
pedagogical approaches of Multiliteracies and Universal Design for Learning.
Internationally based students of the course were then surveyed and interviewed to assess the course effectiveness.
The findings reflected that the course was received as highly comprehensible and accessible from the participating students which were domiciled in six different countries. Based on the implications from these results, future work should be to have the same design applied to a synchronous e-learning course.Thomas McErlean2014-09-18T08:55:25Z2014-09-18T08:55:25Zhttp://go.griffith.ie/id/eprint/9This item is in the repository with the URL: http://go.griffith.ie/id/eprint/92014-09-18T08:55:25ZTechnology and the changing educational environmentGriffith College is a private third level institution which
was established in 1974 in Dublin, Ireland.
The college grew over the next thirty eight years to its present size with in excess of 8000 students on the Dublin campus and satellite campus’ in Cork and Limerick.
There are also many partnerships between Griffith College and other colleges and universities in both Europe and Asia.
Currently the college provides professional courses in accountancy and is also validated by HETAC to provide level 6, 7, 8 and 9 courses across a diverse range of subjects and disciplines. These include Business, Law, Fashion, Computing, Design and Architecture.
This case study examines how the introduction of Moodle, was incorporated into the college in 2005.
The change heralded a change to a blended approach to teaching and learning.Angela O'KeefeFiona O'Riordan
