Day 9-Leyla Hamis Liana| The learner-centric model (LCM)

How to encourage active learning in online learning?

Participant Name: Leyla Hamis Liana

Department/Unit: Computer Science and Engineering

Key Concepts & Insights

"If you are giving students online activities, and you are not present. You basically dont have any idea what the student is doing"- Prof. Sahana

The LCM is all about online course design focusing on the learner active learning. It includes how content is designed and delivered, how content is interactive, how learners can further enhance their knowledge etc, but that has to be well orchestrated. Prof. Sahana also did a marvelous job on elaborating further on different modes of online teaching and what should take place in each mode so as active learning to take place.

New Teaching Methodologies

While intending to do online teaching, the designing and developing of the learning dialogue(LeD) is key. The structural design of LeD is very important, having short contents, effective reflection spots in between and linking it back to content. Moreover, other learning space designing are attributed as well

Technology Integration

We learnt the Edpuzzle tool for interactive video making. edpuzzle.com allows you insert in-video questions that must be attempted before the video continues. This makes a video interactive. The tool is great tool for adding relection spots in LeD.

Practical Applications

Explain how you plan to implement today's learning in your teaching practice at UDOM

1. Immediate Applications: To plan and design LeD for various courses

  

2. Long-term Implementation Plans: Create a template for LeD, create a training module/slides

Collaborative Activities

Describe group work or collaborative exercises conducted

- Activity Name: Creating a LeD for a course using interactive videos

- Learning Outcome: demonstrating the LeD parts

- Group Insights: It was a first time experience in using edpuzzle.

Reflective Summary

Personal reflection on the day's learning experience : I feel that my expectations were met. I wanted a rubric kind of item, or checklist for instructional designers. I have ended up with a model explain the important items to include in any online course.

What Worked Well: The breakpoints, the online teaching lecture by Prof. Sahana

Areas for Further Exploration: different modes of blended and online learning

Action Items:

List specific tasks or ideas to follow up on

1. Creating a checklist for LeD

2.Plan a LeD and use LCM in my courses

Questions & Considerations

Is it true that all blended learning are synchronous?
