The pursuit of passionate curiosity
- 1. eLearning that inspires your learners The pursuit of Passionate Curiosity Presenters: Simon Oaten and Lisa Vincent
- 2. How engaged and passionately curious are your learners right now?
- 3. Are you getting the best return for your money, effort and resources?
- 4. A mixed report card… • Signs of ‘e-learner fatigue’ with increased use of the online channel • Great delivery processes to the learner. Keep focus on application and knowledge building • Memorisation of facts vs learning, applying and making a decision • Lots of tests (Multiple choice mayhem) • Collaboration challenges • Still efficient and effective in the right context
- 5. Today, lets look at… 1. How to achieve learner engagement 2. Usability Performance Model – to benchmark your work against 3. Show & Tell 4. Scanning the future – new technologies to extend your e-learning content
- 6. How is e-learning constructed?
- 7. From e-delivery…. • One way traffic – ‘delivers the goods’ … but is the message received? • Difficult to cater for different learning styles • No collaboration • Limited interaction • Fast and efficient • Evaluation challenges • Awareness vs action
- 8. …to eLearning Ideally, • Engaging and inspiring • Creates curiosity and the desire to learn, know and do more • Personalised learning path • Motivating / challenging • Simple, logical, meaningful content • Feedback
- 9. Why make the move? • Fast learning = learner interest, motivation & retention • Removes the ‘not another course’ vibe • Assess via performance-based tasks (the ‘real’ learning outcomes) • Improved ROI (for achievement rather than just course completions) • Flexible learning paths – cater for learner preferences • Demand
- 10. Usability Performance Model Developed by: Dr Darryl Strickler and Simon Oaten
- 11. Engagement • Learners can quickly grasp & absorb information • Content is in a simple & logical format • Learner’s encouraged to progressively delve deeper into the topic • Relevant graphics, diagrams, audio and video
- 12. Motivation • Learners participate in meaningful tasks that motivate them to explore and learn more • Passionately curious about task or topic • Challenged at the right level through activities with helpful feedback
- 13. Architecture • Learners can effectively acquire new skills & knowledge using preferred learning styles • Able to personalise their ‘learner experience’
- 14. Aesthetics • Learners find the program’s look & feel attractive, appealing and engaging • A simple and elegant interface • Strong figure/ground contrast
- 15. Navigation • Learners can easily navigate through the program and determine own pathways • Prompts and navigation cues easy to follow • No restrictions on ‘jumping around’ to various sections • Not made to read every screen
- 16. Assessment • Learner can assess themselves through performance-based tasks that require them to: Recall the information Apply it to a situation Make a decision
- 17. Performance • Learners experience a program that runs error free • Screens upload and download quickly • The program functions correctly and writes progress and completion records to the database
- 18. Orientation • Learners can clearly see where they are in the program, what they have achieved and the pathways they can take • Learners have enough orientation to know how to get into and out of a program topic or section
- 19. Close up Putting the theory into practice. Show and tell of a recent project…
- 20. Scanning the future What new learning technologies stand out as winners?
- 21. Scanning the future Content and collaboration enablers: • Integrated blogs • Shared online workspaces / wiki • L2L networks (‘community of practice’) • Podcasts • Feedback, review and rating systems • Knowledge capture and distribution • Social network design
