    " Home About Contact info e-portfolio Extracurricular Philosophy Resume Discovering "Community" Media in Archive.org Archive.org, or the Internet Archive, has functioned as a digital library of all media types on the Internet since 1996. Available material has been free to the public, with some exceptions, since its start and it has served as a library for Open Educational Resources way before the term "OER" ever existed. The archive also existed before Creative Commons but began to gain in popularity as the Creative Commons licenses were first released in 2002. Because of the interest in using OERs and the stipulations of a Creative Commons license, the Archive has organized its content by containing Creative Commons licensed material all in one place."

Cognitive Load Theory - 0 views

  • Learning requires a change in the schematic structures of long term memory and is demonstrated by performance that progresses from clumsy, error-prone, slow and difficult to smooth and effortless. The change in performance occurs because as the learner becomes increasingly familiar with the material, the cognitive characteristics associated with the material are altered so that it can be handled more efficiently by working memory
  • information contained in instructional material must first be processed by working memory
  • Specific recommendations relative to the design of instructional material include: Change problem solving methods to avoid means-ends approaches that impose a heavy working memory load, by using goal-free problems or worked examples. Eliminate the working memory load associated with having to mentally integrate several sources of information by physically integrating those sources of information. Eliminate the working memory load associated with unnecessarily processing repetitive information by reducing redundancy. Increase working memory capacity by using auditory as well as visual information under conditions where both sources of information are essential (i.e. non-redundant) to understanding.

Student-centred learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Student-centered learning (or student-centered learning; also called child-centered learning) is an approach to education focusing on the needs of the students, rather than those of others involved in the educational process, such as teachers and administrators.
  • Student-centered learning, that is, putting students needs first, is in contrast to traditional education, by proponents of "student-centered learning" also dubbed "teacher-centred learning". Student-centred learning is focused on each student's needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles, placing the teacher as a facilitator of learning.
  • some educators have largely replaced traditional curriculum approaches with "hands-on" activities and "group work", in which a child determines on their own what they want to do in class.

  • Assessment of student-centred learning
  • One of the most critical differences between student-centred learning and teacher-centred learning is in assessment. In student-centred learning, students participate in the evaluation of their learning.
  • Application to Higher-Education
  • The student-centred learning environment has been shown to be effective in higher education. A certain university sought to promote student-centred learning across the entire university by employing the following methods: Analysis of good practice by award-winning teachers, in all faculties, to show that, they made use of active forms of student learning. Subsequent use the analysis to promote wider use of good practice. A compulsory teacher training course for new junior teachers, which encouraged student-centred learning. Projects funded through teaching development grants, of which 16 were concerned with the introduction of active learning experiences. A programme-level quality enhancement initiative which utilised a student survey to identify strengths and potential areas for improvement. Development of a model of a broadly based teaching and learning environment influencing the development of generic capabilities, to provide evidence of the need for an interactive learning environment. The introduction of programme reviews as a quality assurance measure (Kember, 2009).
