Module 6: Critique learning design | |
Critiquing learning environments | Introduction | Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 | Apply theories | Summary |
In the two scenarios earlier in this section, we provided you with two examples of proposed learning environments and asked you to critique them and share your thoughts in the Moodle forums.
Some key points:
- The scenarios reflect models such as constructivist learning, behaviourist learning, information-transfer models and social learning models. Did you find all of these? What others did you find?
- Each scenario does not necessarily reflect just one approach. For example, the different aspects of Brett's proposal in Scenario 2 link to different theories and models. Did you identify these differences?
- Each scenario will have implications for how the course is delivered and how assessment will take place. Did you find these implications in Brett's proposal?
- Each scenario will provide a degree of flexibility - see A practical guide to providing flexible learning in further and higher education by Casey, J. & Wilson, P. (2005). How are the five dimensions of flexibility and the seven-stage continuum of flexibility incorporated in each scenario?
You may need to review the sections on educational theories and learning design.
