Module 4 Multimedia Presentation

this is multimedia presentation for module four.

My name is Brianne Peig and I'm gonna talk about chapter 27 through 29. This week

The first chapter 27, I Wanna discuss

uh the field of instructional design and e-learning.

Some of the things I learned about were defining e-learning,

triangulated alignment, elemental learning, functional architecture

and revisiting certification.

So as far as defining e-learning goes, the chapter talks about how it is

uh difficult to define because technology is continually evolving and it's

gone from simple text based media to more interactive experiences.

Um And the definitions have been evolving

to include distinctions of time and platforms

and um

you know, at the end,

it summarizes by saying that learning

is learning and instructional designers need to

focus on creating the richest learning experiences

that go beyond just retaining knowledge.

It is just as effective in some cases to use e-learning

as a platform as it is to use traditional teaching methods.

So

uh

with that being said to address the challenge

of making learning experiences

super rich and more than just retaining knowledge, being able to apply knowledge.

Um Instructional designers have been using triangulated alignment, which is

basically ensuring that the objectives

assessments and instructional strategies are all

the same and cohesive.

and

kind of result in a more effective learning experience is not

easy and can be especially challenging in e learning environments.

Um So the chapter also talks about how sometimes

instructional designers will use more

integrated approaches like elemental learning

uh to accomplish the aligned objectives that

we just talked about in triangulated alignment.

Um It's a little bit more constructivist in nature and focuses

on the real world and kind of has these processes built in

To the context of the learning environment

And then it also discusses functional architecture

um which is, you know, designing the technical aspects of e-learning.

And then the last bit that it talks about

is uh revisiting certification and

how certifying instructional designers could ensure

that they're more prepared to integrate taxonomies

and elements of learning and triangulated alignment.

Basically, all these concepts

could be um

uh included when instructional designers are

formally learning about best practices.

Yeah,

So then we'll talk about chapter 28 social media and education. It discusses

the advantages and the challenges and the many uses.

Um I think I adjusted the reference table in the chapter to talk about

the various uses. And so I'll, I'll click over to that in just a second.

There's so so many

Um

And there are advantages to using social media and education.

And the chapter talks specifically about how

it gives you access to learning resources,

professionals, experts.

Um This I know to be true, especially on Twitter and Instagram,

you can go to their page and have access to all kinds

of nuggets of knowledge or um you can privately message people now.

Uh and they who are professionals in the field, they're very easy to find,

especially through hashtags and things. So that's really, really helpful.

And then it provides a platform for seeking

feedback and critique from a wider audience.

And then it finally,

it talks about how there's a self archiving component to social media,

you have your memories or um it saves things chronologically

and this can be used to assess learners on their processes.

So things throughout time that they learn or post

and not just the finished product.

Um Some of the challenges I think we all know

there is a decentralizing effect.

The chapter talks about how it can make it difficult

for the instructor to guide learners towards target behaviors.

And then obviously, we are always concerned about academic honesty

and uh how disruptive social media can be. It can obviously be a huge distraction as

you know, they have their personal lives on social media as well. Students do

So there are all kinds of concerns around safety and privacy and ethics.

And of course, um teachers sometimes feel pressured to use social media

and it,

it really should just be used as a tool, not,

not, you know, as uh the latest trend. So

if it's pedagogically appropriate, um then

then it could be considered a bef um

an advantage. But

the chapter talks about how this can be challenging for instructors.

And then of course, I have the table here might be a little difficult to read,

but there's so many uses for social media and education.

There's forums and community based platforms where you just have access

to so many resources and you can uh create an environment for

your students to communicate with each other and share resources through

Twitter and Instagram and things like that follow professionals and such,

follow each other.

so yeah, and then chapter 29

is about M learning and I specifically focused

on designing for M learning um in this summary

and it talks about the potential of M learning to enhance educational experiences.

Um

And that it should be, when you're designing for m learning, you should be

considering performance more than learning.

So what your learners are actually going to be able to do

um not just

the knowledge they'll retain

And um

the chapter talks specifically about analysis, specification,

development and evaluation

and analysis requires a designer to consider more factors.

If they're using a mobile device, it needs to be more like performance consulting,

like I said, than instructional design.

And we can ask ourselves questions to make sure that we're doing that.

Um Specification refers to the specification solutions.

while considering the scope alignment in media and

um specifications characterized in the chapter by principles.

The first is the least assistance principle where

you provide the least amount of support possible

for the learner to be still successful.

And then the second principle is that

solutions should be designed first before implementation.

And the third is considering the context of the user like

where they're located and what guidance is right for them.

because of the context or those details.

And then development is of course the actual creation of the solutions,

whether that's through web based

platforms or mobile apps or software.

and creating the solutions,

uh

in the evaluate in the development phase so that you can evaluate them afterwards.

Um This is there's prototyping and testing

and this is an important part of the phase.

Uh Sometimes this revision cycle happens more than once

and the intervention should be evaluated because we need

to be making sure that we achieve certain outcomes.

And, and

that

the course is doing what it's designed to do.

So that is uh a little bit about m

learning and that is the conclusion of my presentation.

Thank you.
