Research for Practitioners: Are There Basic Principles Across All Instructional Design ... - 0 views

  • Do the selected theories and models have fundamental underlying principles in common? According to this paper, a principle is a relationship that is always true under appropriate conditions regardless of practice (a specific instructional activity) or program (an approach consisting of a set of prescribed practices).
  • Five first principles emerged from Merrill’s research (2002). He constructed these into phases of effective instruction (see Figure 1).
  • The use of the first principles is meant to be prescriptive and applicable to any learning practice or program. For your eLearning design and development, ask yourself the associated design questions and include these phases of effective instruction. Being problem or task focused is the central principle and should be the starting point for all design efforts.

Rethinking Learning: The 21st Century Learner - 0 views

  •  
    ""For teachers, and schools, and classroom learning, there's an incredibly important role to play which is about giving kids access across the board to a baseline of standards, literacies, expectations, about what they need to participate in contemporary society…to be reflective, and to also take opportunity of the fact that you really have kids and adults in a shared space that's safe, that's sanctioned, that gives an opportunity to reflect in every day life….What we're saying by valuing informal learning is not that we should abandon formal learning, but that we should get those working together in a much more coordinated way." Mimi Ito, Associate Researcher, UC Irvine"

6 Models of Blended Learning - DreamBox Learning - 0 views

  •  
    As school districts look for ways to give their students a personalized learning experience without expanding their budgets, blended learning can be an effective option. This approach to schooling combines face-to-face instruction with online learning and has yielded strong results since officially being researched as an education strategy. In fact, according to a 2010 study from the U.S. Department of Education, blended learning classes produce statistically better results than their face-to-face, non-hybrid equivalents. This may be partly due to the fact that this rapidly growing model not only increases the flexibility and individualization of student learning experiences, but also allows teachers to expand the time they spend as facilitators of learning. Schools make the switch to blended learning for a variety of reasons. In addition to considering the age of the students, the reasons for choosing a blended model generally dictate which of the six models they choose to implement:
