Reflective Supporting the Needs of All Learners

  


Chosen week 6 of course EDU609.  This assignment I created a PPT program my PowerPoint was titled “Final Presentation Building an Online Course: Reflections on Theory and Practice – Final.” The design of my presentation is complete with graphics and discussion, to keep a reader engaged yet to present a full picture.  We were given a list of learning Theories/methodologies to select from my choices were blooms taxonomy, backward design, flipped classroom, a community of practice, content curation & blogging.
For better understanding of the project outlined here is the address to you tube;
  “With understanding these concepts, the order of the course needed to make sense for learners laying out the course following the six stages, “remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create.” (2001) revised edition of Bloom's taxonomy. The alignment is simply how to maintain humanity and create dignity with the use of empathy while dealing with patients or clients.  professionals dealing with people tend to get so busy they forget empathy and keeping the client or patient first.  The evaluation phase was from personal experience, as a health professional, I was able to investigate my own course and apply experiences to the development and rounding of the course. I mention in the title of the course the stress lab but it is simply an end that delivers the message of empathy and empathetic speaking.” So the outcome needs to be clear and precise keeping all the learners or people you are working with moving in the same direction.
  The course design process needs to not only keep learners engaged but let them know where they are going LOC objectives.  We all ask why am I taking this course? what is the need? what am I going to learn?  Designers need to keep this line of questioning in mind when working through their course design.

  Designers are taught to build their courses from the end to the beginning.  This concept was difficult at first to grasp. Backward design (reverse engineering) admittedly this methodology had me lost for a while, as it would most health care professionals. we are trained to go from front to back in course design you learn how to envision the ending outcome first (target goals) and then work toward the start.  
  The design was to focus on what they need to know and understand an application.  the design focused on the who, what, when and where basic idea but backward, I will let you ponder on that as I had to in reverse.

  The course EDU 609 had learners thinking how to not only create and develop thoughtful courses but how technology impacts delivery and engagement in the way learners learn and how teachers teach.  Web 2.0 brought on the flipped classroom and blending, this does not mean the classroom freezes at this point because expanding 609 is going to be the need to learn the fast-growing web 3.0. 
  The flipped classroom the methodology of the flipped classroom is a concept created from the web 2.0. the design of this course was developed based on the flipped concept as that it is devoted to the online student with incorporated technologies as we as online lectures to be conducted in second life. traditional homework is completed in journal forms and or discussion boards to be submitted via the course or e-mail. this course is embedded in instructional and training videos to be viewed by learners.

  The community of practice, this is whereas in a team, for example, people are drawn together sharing one common idea or goal.  In the classroom, the design of the physical classroom or conference room accommodates in helping proper teams and communities to form like little villages.  This concept is broken down into three sections, domain, community and practice, the learners or team members are gathered by a learning need they have in common such as empathy and empathetic speaking. the bond of their shared professions such as health professionals becomes their collective community. the interactions of the online course allow them the resources to learn and produce as teams or individuals.  this course encourages community and drawing together socially.

    Content curation and blogging, not many people understand a need to journal or to blog.  In this 
concept, it is seen how social media and teams and individual members gain fresh ideas and views from other members in other villages or teams.  During the entire MATLT learners are encouraged to learn to blog and journal, some are reluctant but did it as it was part of the courses requirements. As learners now see that with the use of media inflexed into today’s learning processes learners and educators alike must have at least the basic skills to compile a simple blog or journal, can research, transfer ideas from other media with regards to plagiarism and copyright laws.
While creating this article I found it difficult to write a reflective paper in the formal format and keep it out of the first person.
