Engaging Learners with New Strategies and Tools
Engaging learners requires a new approach, not only to instruction but also to structuring classroom environments and learning experiences. In their article, Durrington, Berryhill, and Swafford discuss structured learning environments, interactive discussions, peer-to-peer interactions, and problem-based learning as critical elements of an engaging online course. In his presentation, “Curatorial teaching,” Siemens outlines the appropriate level of interaction and guidance for educators to help students navigate resources and utilize a structured approach to learning within their field.
Using the ideas of Durrington, Siemens, and others from your readings, determine which technological tools and strategies are best for involving learners in building content knowledge, engaging in communication with peers and instructors, and working on authentic, collaborative, problem-based tasks in the online environment. Select common technological tools that can be used in order to achieve these goals.
Create a graphic organizer to show these strategies and tools, and post it to your blog.
