Constructivism

I am reading the pages for one of my courses (EDUCATIONAL DESIGN FOR ELEARNING)
I think that I am a constructivist. I think this because describes the things I do in managing learning like building on prior knowledge, assessing in a formative way, using strategies like getting students to analyze, interpret, and predict etc.

At Teachers' College I was taught to teach in this way, and working on adult learning programmes has reinforced this way of behaving.
Maybe when I read the next 11 (!) theories I will change my mind or come to a balance between the theories.

Educational Design for eLearning & Evaluation of eLearning for Best Practice

Greetings All

I have started two courses this semester and am really looking forward to learning stuff!
The two courses are:
  • Educational Design for eLearning &
  • Evaluation of eLearning for Best Practice
Time will be pressing for me, so this blog will now be used for both courses; assignments, course comments, reflections etc.

My expectations for both courses is to grow my network, engage with innovative thinking and to be more aware of the research out there for my future PhD - when that finally happens.

Cheers!
