I´m totally agree with Azael, related on to be clear about Holistic definition in teaching.
Because, as a study of whole filosophy teaching, holistic means to analize every part of something but at the same time taking every part of the objetc and create a complete study of that, in this case, this topic :The Teaching Model.
It is so easy to read each point and explain them, however it implicates more than words to be pratice and make a real change in a model teaching throug practice.
well I can refer this topic with a Company (as a analogue) because the teaching´s parts are conecected between them, and it is an integrated process likewise, the principal part depends on another, like a pyramid, for that, it is important to mantain a balance with all elements: persons involved on it, mechanisms, types of learning and resources.
The teacher always is a facilitator, a guide of the learning process, not only that, surely is an active character full of knowledge to develop skills in him/her self.
The case of students is important to take in consideration, because, their personality implicates responsability with learning and take action about anything, also they must be respectfull and be concious that work team, is not easy, but they are part of society and of course they can realize that working in groups can be more efficiently in many ways.
When we are talking about Independent learning, we are referring to many ways to support that, everyone has the same importance which helps to get objectives more efectevly.

Reflections!
Es importante considerar que el papel intelectual del maestro que imparte educacion a distancia es impredecible, ya que su formacion con esta tecnologia lo lleva a tener aun mas responsabilidad del proceso de aprendizaje, pero tambien a tener mas libertad para trabajar.
en esta unidad aprendí mucho de lo que se debe hacer para planear y analizar los distintos aspectos que conlleva la educacion a distancia, ya que detras de todo un plan, carta descriptiva o curriulum hay una gran gama de investigaciones asocioadas a lo que es la educacion en esta modalidad, ademas de que implica una gran dispocision al analisis.
Plan of online course
PLAN OF ONLINE COURSE
by Karen PDA.
Every online course requires a previous study that contains the main elements to put in practice a real e-course, such as: units, topics, objectives, methods and methodology, techniques, assignments, practice, evaluation, general and specific bibliography or references.
It is important to take in consideration to clarify every single definition before start to give general information about the course because, as a recommendation the description of any course it must be clear and concrete.
These are some points to help to design an online course:
1.- The objectives have to be based on students needs and make sure about the previous knowledge from them.
2. It is very important to specify the objectives into the course, and make a review of every point on this.
3. The learning goals also depend on the institution or academy where students are learning. Because it could be adequate to the professional development.
4. The activities may have to be active and focus on investigation by themselves because an online course doesn’t have space limits and the learning process it not occur at the same time.
5. Make a time line: because in this methodology the chronological steps are very important to have a begging and end in order to be more organize and facility the evaluation.
6. Use appropriate material, in this case authentic if the level is superior. The bibliography has to be contemporary with true fundaments.
7. Make sure that the internet system is working well, sometimes the uploading way is slow. It implicates patience to technology.
8. To have a control of Platform and group discussion. It is necessary to post the date and time to start everything that can involves all participants.
9. Give a guide of text recommendation: or not only texts but some material that it could be useful after every unit and improve the knowledge.
10. giving information about the type of evaluation and specify if each unit has a different way to evaluate, for example an essay, an interview, an exercise etc.

Cursos en Línea.....descripción!
Los cursos en linea que he tomado, han sido pocos y con un desempeño bajo por mi parte. Aun estoy tratando de adentrarme a este mundo que cada dia me sorprende mas, y ahora pienso que será cada vez mas util para mi y mi estado emocional y de salud.
Nunca he usado la plataforma, y me han comentado que es interesante, he visto algunas conferencias en linea, y mi hermana alguna vez me platicó de su experiencia con esta modalidad en el tec de monterrey me pareció algo de primer mundo, muy apantallador. y conforme fui concociendo el mecanismo, he comprobado que es efectivo.
el blackboard ha sido mi unica experiencia hasta le momento, y claro, algunas investigaciones libres en paginas electronicas que ayudan de la misma forma.
de acuerdo con un trabajo que encontré en linea de

CMC
Computer-Mediated Communication and the Online Classroom in Distance Learning
(is the third volume of a three-book series)
CMC is a magazine that show us many technology advances in Education.
It is clear that electronics can help us to discover almost everything in education and learning, not only as a method, it could be a way a life. but it is necesary to pay attention how is the impact of t.v. into the learning atmosphere for example, beacause human beings learn through the television since it was created, and what are the things that we can learn on the tv.
thats why the article talks about the educational system which includes diferents types of technology (media). In this case the teachers must be eclectic and be concious of the student's knowledge construction.
"Distance educators are now beginning to focus on a related set of notions: (a) there are different learning styles, (b) students create their own meaning when learning new things, and (c) what makes a difference in content retention and transfer is not so much what is done by teachers, but what students as learners can be encouraged to do themselves. "
I think, the goal of MCM is merely to promote the interactive learning by technology.
the integration of students, teachers and content are the principals.
It also provides a vision of telecommunications as a main and helpful way to teach and learn.

A Model of E-learning
the first concept to may have take in consideration is INTERACTION, because it acts as an aid to meaningful leraning, in others words is the clue to adapt many functions on this kind od educational program.Intercation or Interactivity is always participating in traditional and distance education. the principal factor on this model is the development of personal relationship among participants, in this case students, teachers, family and other psychological factors as idenpendence, comunication etc.
This image can show us the variability of interaction between students and teachers, it also ilustrates the stundent-student interaction, student-teacher, teacher-teacher , teacher -content and student-content. the first one interaction modality can tell us that the student can work in a collaborative way and they can improve invetigation abilities and to develop many interpersonal skills.
The professional relationship among teachers is important to create a supporting atmosphere and also encourage teachers to take advantage of knowledge when they partipate in the teachers comunnity.
the diagram mentions the independent study that is coherence if we are talking about student´s resposability but it is necesary to pay attention in which ways the student-teacher interaction supports in a 2 formats and other varieties : asynchronous ans synchronous, comunication using text, audio,video and so on. I consider that the teacher´s toturing is the guide to follow the online learning succesfully.
the content it must be interactive, the web can provides us new opportunities
to know the techniques for studying efectively and then learning. another courious thing is that teh content can be adapted to teh students beacuse we find a lot of diferent exercises on-line.
Prensky (2000) proposes these elements:
behaviors through imitation,feedback and practice. Creativity through playing, association, drills, memory and questions, asking questions, making choices, immersion, observation etc. everything has a purpose on e-learning and he asks How the Ss. learn what?
each one works through something else and complete the e-learning plan with an appropiate mixure of student, teacher, content and external factors.
