Definition
- Gilly Salmon's 5-stage model of e-moderating describes how to organise how to design an course that strongly uses computer-mediated communication.
- A description of a five-stage model of teaching and learning online (Gilly, 2002:X).
The five stages - Overview
- Access & Motivation. Exploring the technology and motivation building are key issues. The e-moderator helps meeting people and learn the environment.
- Socialisation. Building on the first stage, this stage focuses on social processes and 'community building'. Moderator does bridge building.
- Information Exchange. Information is exchanged and co-operative tasks can be achieved. Interaction happens with contents, other participants and the e-moderator that assists exploration activities.
- Knowledge Construction. Knowledge development and discussion activities become important. Participants start recognizing the value of text-based asynchronous interaction and take control of knowledge construction.
- Development. Participants become responsible for their own learning and that of their group. Ideas are applied to individual contexts. This stage is characterised by reflection and assessment.
The 5-stage model is also at the core of Salmon's e-tivity frameworks for enhancing active and participative online learning by individuals and groups.
