While #digital #technologies come with great excitement, with the potential to allow learners to shape their experiences, they also run the risk of falling flat if teachers do not have the required skills to select, create, operate, and integrate them effectively into their lessons. For example, 3 major sources of these unintended negative effects with digital artifacts are; 1. Poor #selection and failure to align digital resources with the learning objectives and outcomes. 2. Little or no thought about the overall #learning #experience students will have interacting with the resource. 3. Failure to provide sufficient information and #instructions to guide the interaction with the digital artifact Though these are all useful points to remember, based on the assumption that these resources already exist, our session for tomorrow and Friday will focus on creating Digital Didactic materials exclusively. Join us to enjoy the learning together!
Of course, we would all agree that #learning activities need to align with the environment, and the assessment targets- especially with the learning outcomes for the lesson/subject/programme overall, -yet how often do we consider the alignment with the didactic materials we use for teaching? -Do we have these materials? -How do we use these materials? -How culturally and contextually appropriate are they for our learners? -How do we design and create these materials? In this learning series (2 days), we will delve into the world of hashtag #design and the diversity of #teaching #resources that are appropriate for #technology-enhanced learning and teaching.
