IFI7139 Week VI

Important elements in an e-learning course

Beginning of the course, structure and working plan introduction- Everything depends on the start. If there are misunderstandings at the beginning then there would be no success.

Feedback- It is important ta make clear if there are some mistakes and give feedback during the entire course, then there’s a change to learn by doing.

Evaluation- Evaluation criteria should be clear and understandable and fair.

Communication- There should be a way to communicate as much as needed.

Structure-
The course should be structured logically and be easy to follow.


This week I learned about the learning theories:
-Behavioral learning
-Cognitive learning
-Constructivist learning
-Social-constructivist learning

I have learned about these different theories in the past, but it was necessary to repeat them over. It was interesting to see all these different learning games and environments.

Our group work is moving on smoothly ;)

  1. Hey,
    I agree with you that first impression of the course is important, especially if we talk about e-learning course. So information architecture and user interface design become essential aspects to consider. You also mention feedback as an important element. Does it matter for you who is giving feedback (facilitator, peer-student, etc.) or do you mean here that a facilitator's feedback is essential?
