Questions for today

How do learning theories relate to online learning activities

Start to identify e learning tools with specific strategies to suit a range of learners and purposes

Learning Theory – Behaviorism

We learn because we make a particular response to a given stimulus

Most computer-based learning now is based around constructivism, but with elements of behaviourism and cognitivism thrown in!

Basic Tenants of Constructivism

Knowledge is constructed from and shaped by experience.

Learners must take an active role and assume responsibility for their learning.

Learning is a collaborative process and students create their own meaning from obtaining multiple perspectives.

Basic Tenants of Constructivism

Learning should occur in a realistic setting.Learners should choose their own path through

content and activities.Content should be presented holistically, not

broken into separate smaller tasks.

Learners come in all shapes and sizesLearners exhibit a variety of learning style preferences•Active•Reflective•Visual•Experiential•Auditory•Sensing

Lets cater for them!

• Reduce reliance on text

(Audio, Visuals, Video)• Use multimedia• Engage learner to think through online material(learning activities)

• Put back industry knowledge

•Character faces a challenge•Show not tell•Make learners justify their choices. Challenge their assumptions and make them think deeply about the material.•Contextual feedback will help learners see where they went wrong
