How will your interactive learning resource ensure that all learners’ needs can be met?
Our group teaches courses on how to succeed in online classes, so Vaughan has multi-directional interactive learning resources that we offer, video, text, audio, and images. We offer video, text, audio, and pictures. We allow different students to find their preferred mode as much as possible. We also have group discussion sessions to encourage learners to interact and collaborate. This can be done through online forums, collaborative projects, group discussions, etc., to facilitate interaction and knowledge exchange among learners. We also constantly receive feedback from students to improve our courses.
How can you adjust your planned learning activities to meet the needs of your learners if an unexpected event occurs?
First, our course plan is to do it all online through Zoom or video recording to teach you how to achieve results and what you need to pay attention to in the online course. Our systems would be essential if something like a pandemic happened outside of that. At the same time, we will understand the needs of the students: we will communicate with them to understand their problems and needs. Student feedback can be collected through online questionnaires, individual conversations, discussion boards or instant messengers.
Barriers to student success and how to prevent them.
Because of the online classes, our students may be in different time zones, such as China, USA or Australia. So the time difference is a big obstacle, we have made some measures for this. For example, all our courses are recorded. If you don’t have time to take our online courses, you can watch them offline when you have time. Another obstacle is the students’ autonomy, so we have a set time for each assignment, and students need to finish it within the appointed time.
Hi Zhenshang! I really appreciate your insights on incorporating inclusivity and accessibility principles into your learning design. I see that you’re considering using ZOOM to teach this course, which is great. However, you also mentioned that students who can’t attend can watch a recording. If that’s the case, what’s the value of synchronous learning? Why would students want to come to an “in-person” meeting? Also, I’m curious about what Vaughan is. Can you give me some more information?
Hello Zhenshang! I liked how you described how your group will use zoom to reduce learning berries and make sure that all learners’ needs are met. I wonder if you will use some kind of annotating application for students that prefer to read the material or that find it difficult to listen to videos or if you have a plan for students that find it difficult to get access to technology? I also found this article interesting on how to keep students engaged during online classes: https://www.usf.edu/education/about-us/news/2020/tips-success-online-classes.aspx
Hi，Zhenshang
Your content gives us a good idea of how the interactive learning resources will ensure that the needs of all learners are met and how you will adapt the program to cope with special circumstances. Teaching all online via Zoom or video recording is our main thrust and we believe you can present your understanding well in your final report.
