e-learning methodologies

Lets talk about e-learning techniques and methods, which

are divided into two categories:

asynchronous,

synchronous


4/18


Asynchronous is :

facilitated by media such as e-mail and discussion boards,

supports work relations among learners and with teachers,

even when participants cannot be online at the same time.

providing the possibility for learners to log on to an e-learning

environment at any time and download documents or sendmessages to teachers or peers.


5/18


Synchronous is:

supported by media such as videoconferencing and chat, has

the potential to support e-learners in the development of

learning communities,

more social and avoid frustration by asking and answering

questions in real time.

Indicative methodologies for Web 2.0

Mediated Learning

Methodologies for Web 2.0 Mediated learning:

Collaborative E-learning

Inquiry Based learning

Project based learning

Game based learning


7/18

Collaborative e- learning methodology I

Students are working in Virtual environments into groups

(e- learning communities), mutually searching forunderstanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a

product.

Collaborative learning activities center on studentsexploration or application of the course material, notsimply the teachers presentation or explication of it.

Collaborative e-learning methodology means that:

Collaborative e- learning methodology II

Tools and systems developed and used for supporting e-learning communities:

a) document-focused Web-based training tools (i.e.

Blogs), b) meeting-focused tools (i.e. Skype),

and

c) three dimensional (3D)- centered multi-user tools,

which are based on multi-user Virtual Realitytechnology ( i.e. Second life)

Inquiry based learning

During inquiry based learning, students:

construct much of their understanding of the natural and

human-designed worlds,

are not seeking the right answer - because often there is

none - but rather seeking appropriate resolutions to

questions and issues.


11/18

Inquiry based learning in Science

Much thought and research has been spent on the role of inquiry in

science education, where the sciences demand verification of data.

When students are doing inquiry based science, they:

View Themselves as Scientists in the Process of Learning Plan and Carry Out Investigations (i.e. Mind mapping tools)

Communicate Using a Variety of Methods (i.e. Blogs, Google documents, Forum, Facebook

docs)

Propose Explanations and Solutions and Build a Store of Concepts

Raise Questions (i.e. Polls) Use Observation

Critique Their Science Practices - Reflect with their peers (i.e. in e-learning communities)


12/18

Inquiry based learning (some thoughts)

Inquiry based learning can be applied to all disciplines. Individuals need

many perspectives for viewing the world. Such views could include

artistic, scientific, historic, economic, and other perspectives.

Well-designed inquiry-learning activities and interactions should be

set in a conceptual context so as to help students accumulate

knowledge as they progress from grade to grade.

Inquiry in education should be about a greater understanding of

the world in which they live, learn, communicate, and work.

Schools must change from a focus on "what we know" to anemphasis on "how we come to know."


13/18

Project based learning and Web 2.0

Project based learning is:

focused on students active and often collaborative

production of knowledge through engaging with real world

problems/cases.

We need to:

distinguish between Web2.0 as a range of technologies (e.g.

blogs, podcasts, wikis) and Web2.0 as particular practices (e.g.blogging, podcasting, collaborative writing).


14/18

Project based learning + Web 2.0 Tools

Example: a Wiki


15/18

Game based learning

Refers to: serious games that deals with applications that have defined

learning outcomes.

Games often have a fantasy element that engages players

in a learning activity through narrative or storylines.

The success of game-based learning strategies owes toactive participation and interaction being at the center ofthe experience.
