ID 620 - Advanced e-learning design

I watched a video on special needs students experiencing virtual reality. In the video, students visited historical sites and manipulated physical objects in various realities. The students could also choose from tours of space, ride rollercoasters, deep sea explorations, and visiting other countries. With some students having physical limitations, virtual reality allows them to push their boundaries and experience things they wouldn’t have the chance to do. When exploring these sites, students utilize a headset and controllers. Virtual reality allows digital overlays using a “headset or glasses to overlay digital elements into the real world” (The Princeton Review). The immersive and interactive learning experience replicates the complexities and challenges of simulations by including realistic scenarios, risk-free environments, problem-solving, and collaborative learning.

 Real-Time Feedback Real-time feedback is the key to enhancing your learning experience. It offers constructive criticism and valuable suggestions during learning, ensuring immediate correction. It further provides “a better idea of student understanding and helps students develop more of their own skills and mastery” (McClelland, 2017).  The advantages of real-time feedback in collaborative assessment include personalized learning, the development of self-regulation skills, and the strengthening of student-teacher relationships. Students’ abilities and learning styles should always be considered, so including assessments where teachers can provide real-time feedback will ensure that all students understand the materials and those who aren’t showing content retention can receive support. Teachers can also reassess their teaching to ensure all students understand the content, which may result in them adjusting the amount of content presented during class time. By providing feed...

Legos for Beginners (Flipped Classroom) I chose the flipped classroom approach for my course Legos for Beginners. I believe by providing the video below, students can gather a general idea of what’s expected the next day. I could share with the students to review the video before class and think about what you may want to build in class the next day. I would hope that by watching the video, students would brainstorm what they may want to create and that it would spark creative thinking. By actively participating in building a custom design in class, students are in charge of their designs and the overall outcome. Throughout the design, students will use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to overcome challenges. While completing their designs in class, students can learn from other students through observation of what works and doesn’t and receive feedback from their peers and teachers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTmWapb6NUo
