The other highly discussed benefit was the student benefit of how quickly and easily students can adapt to the learning design (11%). Specifically, as they become familiar with the structure over time, it allows them to not get caught up in the distractions of design and technology, and focus directly on the task at hand. It is interpreted that Teaching Presence was not equally represented with regard to “benefits” specifically because the main topic of the blog posts were focused on E-tivities and the 5-Stage Model. Rather than e-Moderation which relates to the “teaching” component of Online Leaning, and would therefore be expected to reflect “Teaching Presence”.
A utilização de uma E-atividade, bem definida e motivadora permite potenciar o desenvolvimento das competências dos estudantes, fomentando a capacidade de construção autónoma do conhecimento. Uma e-atividade promove uma aprendizagem ativa, através de trabalho colaborativo estimulando a procura do conhecimento e a sua aplicabilidade.
