Enhance and Design

I have been trying very hard to put my thoughts on the learning styles of my students, that I am constructing my course for, and with not much success, so I am going in tommorrow to get leigh to help me and show me what i am doing wrong.  I have tried also to put a link to a web site that i found most useful and that still wont work so fingers crossed.

I am going to continue on this blog about what kind of learning styles will be used in my course.  I believe that there are many styles of learning and below are some examples.

Behavourism

Demonstrator model

Action Learning

Cognitive Learning.

As my course is computer based I looked at Kolb Learning Styles and what training techniques are used best for optimal learning in computer related training.  Many training situations are designed for structure, task oriented proceedures and this is how behavour modelling methodolgy is working best. This technique can show new ways to provide students with conceptional and proceedual information, with less fustrating and higher satisfaction. 

Abstract, Using multimedia with easy flowing techniques and topics and interactivity, with pictorial and sound utilization, with the help of using text and sound and video as well as graphics can be a great learning instruction.  Using also vocal and visual explanations with multimedia can be used in independent learning, and also collaborative learning. Convergers think about things and then try out their ideas to see if they work in practice. They like to ask ‘how’ about a situation, understanding how things work in practice. They like facts and will seek to make things efficient by making small and careful changes. They prefer to work by themselves, thinking carefully and acting independently. They learn through interaction and computer-based learning is more effective with them than other methods. This is mostly how my students will learn.
