E-learning
The reading for this week left me feeling over whelmed. There was lots of evidence of how e-learning courses are created without the learner in mind. These courses have a long way to go, but not a lot of help in creating them in away that would be engaging and learner motivating. The study conducted by Martens et al left us with the knowledge that more study is needed, but with no real solutions. It mostly indicated more study is needed to create student motivating courses.
The seven steps for better e-learning was the most helpful. It provided some insightful ideas that are necessary. I do think more insight in to how to accomplish those tasks would be helpful.

This feeling you have is the same reason I got into the field of instructional technology. AS a student I felt the pain of taking classes that were not student oriented. THere is lots of energy going into converting classes to this convenient forum but not as much figuring out to do it effectively. Hopefully classes like this can at least get the ball rolling in that direction.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I'm experiencing in this course I think this is a step in the right direction to make classes more student friendly.
