网络新动力：教学法和组织

The Dynamics of Networking: Pedagogy and Organization

远程教育是在不同空间、不同时间，以不同方式组织进行的。最为明显的差异则体现在远程教育组织形式上采用双模式和单模式的国家之间。基于网络的概念，一种新的组织形式可能比上述两者更有效率。这一概念的总体原则是：国家级网络将可以利用各地的资源(即内容专家，教学设计人员，各种通讯技术，以及提供学习支持系统所需的资源)，并且在灵活、开放、"混合重组"的基础上为特定课程或项目配置所需的任何资源包。唯一的永久性机构应该是精干的管理部门，根据合约负责每个特定项目所需的人事和资源配置。本报告将详细阐述这一网络组织的概念，并举出一些初期案例。

Distance education has been organized in different ways at different times and in different places. The most obvious difference has been between those countries that have employed a dual mode form of organization and those favoring a single mode approach. A new organizational form that is potentially more efficient than either of these is based on the concept of the network. The general principle is that national networks will draw on the best resources regardless of where they are located, i. e. the content experts, instructional designers the full range of communications technologies, and the resources needed to provide a learner support system, and configure whatever mixture is needed for a particular program or project on a flexible, open, "mix and match" basis. The only permanent agency would be a small management unit whose responsibility is to commission, on a contractual basis, the mixture of personnel and other resources needed for each particular project. The presentation will elaborate on this concept of a network organization and give some early examples.
