Fantastic to see all the input and different contexts and strategies where IBL can be applied

That's a really interesting reflection Raul. We really need to modify and adjust our content and delivery to respond to the requirements of our learners.

Really great to see the discussion around scaffolding - and how this strategy resonates with so many of you. Having supports in place as students work through their ZPD's is the basis for student engagement and success. I'm sure many of us can recall a programme of learning designed to provide a balance between support and challenge, enabling each person to...

Good to see the discussion around how you would use different questions to encourage learning and inquiry - plus collaboration and even formative assessment.
-
Gosh what a wide range of topic areas you are working within. It's really pleasing to see you all thinking about and applying IBL approaches in those different context and sharing your examples of good practice. Sharing in this way also exemplifies the principles of co-operative and/or collaborative learning. Great work
-
The advantages of group work far outweigh the disadvantages and really pleased to hear the advantages surfacing throughout the discussion. The group size is also pivotal - if it's too large it will naturally split - and a small group could become pair work where the interaction and peer learning might be diluted. What do you think the optimum learning group...

Vinaka Kitty. We're glad you enjoyed this short course!

It made me laugh!

Thanks Kitty. That's fantastic to hear.

That's fantastic!

If you press the 'Launch' button above Kellie-Jane it should take you to a Padlet where you can pin your post.
-
Would love to hear how it goes for you!
-
Yes it is difficult to find the time sometimes. I guess this is where careful planning comes in so that you can scaffold the learning for everyone. Breaking the learning into chunks is definitely a form of scaffolding.
-
This sounds like a great strategy Conrad. Using scenarios or case studies really help to make the learning meaningful.
-
That's great Carrie!
-
Absolutely. I think it's all about the balance.
-
-
Yes. It is great when you can have a balance of synchronous and asynchronous lessons with your online delivery. I think it works well and certainly gives you more flexibility.
-
I think it is something that you have to keep trying Oscar. If your students are shy then it will take them a little while to get used to being actively involved. Sometimes asking them to work together in small groups can be useful as they feel safe and are more willing to participate. Good luck!
-
That's a really interesting reflection Wendy. It's great to hear that your love of learning has endured!
-
Great description Carline. I think my childhood was also about 'staying within the lines'!

Adie Haultain replied to Sany Jo
That's a good question Sany. I guess that building rapport and trust with you learners is the best place to start. If they feel that they are in a safe environment and feel comfortable in that environment they may be more inclined to turn their camera's on. I wonder what other people's experiences have been with this?

Adie Haultain replied to Joy I
@JoyI Yes! I think that has been a challenge for many of us over the past year or so. Once we realise the real benefits of these student-centred activities for our learners, it is amazing how creative we can become in order to ensure we can continue to utilise them in the online environment.

That's great to hear Gary!
-
Good point!
-
I wonder which of the two illustrations above would best relate to your two lecturers? It's interesting how quickly we can be 'turned off' when it comes to learning!
-
That's great to hear. Welcome!
-
Oh...'layers of lego'! I love that! It's great to hear that you always try to connect you teaching to something meaningful for you students. It's so important.

Adie Haultain replied to ELENI S.
Yes! Totally agree Eleni...motivation does have a huge impact on learning.
-
That's great Ellen...it is thought provoking!
-
That's great Joy....it's good to challenge our thinking!
-
That's great Claire!
-
-
Some great points Nanda.
-
Coming from a primary teaching background, I agree with you Joy about children becoming bored very quickly with passive teaching methods. I guess also something to be considered would be the influences of the cultural context.
-
True!
-
Thanks to Google translate I can read this! I'm glad you find the outline clear and I hope you enjoy the course.
