Learning design

April 12, 2010 · Posted in Learning design 

As a new teacher or a teacher new to the use of technology enhanced learning it is often confusing and overwhelming. I found this quote that I think incorporates much of what I have been thinking…

“Learning and teaching is a continuous process that is mediated by the learner’s prior knowledge, experience, and personal goals; the learning environment; strategy selection; and interpersonal interactions.” ((Grabiner et. al. 2007).

To me this quote expands to allow the incorporation of  different approaches (instructivism, constructivism and connectivism)  and takes into account tools that can be used to develop different learning environments.  It also accounts for our students being people who come to us with knowledge and life experience that can enrich learning activity if we can provide authentic programs.
