Indiana University

Simulations in Teaching: Special Education Multimedia PBL Cases. Gap between classroom and outside world activities. Developed simulations in problem based framework. Presented 2 separate modules based on her area of research:

Education with students with limited English
Students with behavioral disorders

PBL Instructional Approach:

"messy", real problems that may or may not have answers
anchored constructivism where students assume major responsibility for their learning

Week 13: David Berque

This presentation displays how new technological innovations are used in classroom to foster various learning activities. His motivation was lectures in math and sciences, but it has application in many other learning / lecture settings.

How it works: Teacher and students writes on tablet PC or electronic whiteboard using Dyknow Vision software.

Pedagogy Examples: 1) Problem examples tried by students immediately; 2) Students can reply with examples

Week 9: Charles Reigeluth: Systemic Change in Education

Charles Reigeluth presented the topic: “What systemic change is, why it is important for instructional designers, both in education and training."

Recent interest in school reform. Discussed a new paradigm for education and training. Two types of change:

piecemeal
systemic, paradigm shift, replacing

Only need systemic change when environment fundamentally changes. Toffler's three great waves of change: Agriculture, industrial and information revolution -> each brought paradigm shift in family, business and transportation. So, how has education changed in the information age.

Addressing Student Motivation and Learning Styles with different blends of technology - November 2004

Dramatic increase in online learning in higher education all across the world, including "blended" learning (roughly 2/3 of online classes are blended in US vs fully online). Seems to more support in public learning institutions. What is blended learning? Is it just face to face vs. online? Or are we overusing this term as almost all classes now blend some form of technology? Some see it as a combination of modalities / media in instruction, tasks and delivery. Sloan Definitions: Traditional 0% online; Web Facilitated 1-29% online; Blended/Hybrid 30-79% online; Online: 80% of content is online.
Advantages: Access, flexibility, convenience, increased learning, cost effective, effective pedagogy
Disadvantages: Time, procrastination, resistance, overwhelming, trying too much

Examples: Assessments/reviews online; follow up in communities of practice; reference material; office hours online; mentoring and coaching tool; access experts live online
