Teaching strategies for user-centered learning

1. Teaching Strategies for Learner Centered
Instruction

2. IBL Teaching Strategies
 Inquiry-based learning-Learning
should be based around student's
questions. Requires students to work
together to solve problems rather than
receiving direct instructions
 The teacher's job in an inquiry learning
environment is to help students along
the process of discovering knowledge
themselves.

3. IBL-MindMeister
 As a group create a mind map on the
topic of Instructional Resources
 Group leader(s) sets up account on
www.mindemeister.com
 Members contribute ideas for group
branches on collaborative map
 Group leader(s) inputs content to
map.
 GoogleApps

5. What We Learn
 Turn information into useful
knowledge.
 Stresses skill development and
nurtures the development of good
habits of mind.
 Provides useful context, and
application for information
 Develops connections between
activities within a particular subject.

6. Teaching Strategies
 Problem-based learning-is a student-
centered instructional strategy in which
students collaboratively solve problems and
reflect on their experiences. Characteristics
of PBL are:
 Learning is driven by challenging, open-
ended problems.
 Students work in small collaborative
groups.
 Teachers take on the role as "facilitators" of
learning.

7. Problem Based Learning Example
Use the tools to transfer content and
combine it into a single object
Flickr Photo Site
Animoto
Video Site
WordPress Class Blog Site

8.  To create meaningful information
objects by combining media types
including language and objects
 To understand the process of trial,
error, and consequence relating to
technology use
 To understand the relationship of
rules, tools, labor, and community
relating to information systems
What we learn

9. Teaching Strategies
 Contstructivism assumes that learners construct
their own knowledge on the basis of interaction with
their environment.
 Knowledge is physically constructed by learners who
are involved in active learning
 Knowledge is symbolically constructed by learners
who are making their own representations of action
 Knowledge is socially constructed by learners who
convey their meaning making to others;
 Knowledge is theoretically constructed by learners
who try to explain things they don't completely
understand
 Example-Google Site

10. Constructivist Learning Example
Web Site
Develop a research question and develop a
presentation web site using multiple content types
and tools.

11. What we learn
 To see information parts as a whole
 To analyze media for messages
 To relate the experience of others to
ourselves
 To understand how information
transforms us, and how we transform
information

12. Assesment

13. Outcome Based Assessment
 Skills Based
 Real Life Context
 Access and Use
 Cognitive Skills
 Digital Skills
 Management
 Communication

14. Google Forms

15. Poll Everywhere
 Poll Everywhere is a simple text message
voting application that works well for live
audiences.
 People vote by sending text messages (or
using Twitter) to options displayed on-screen.
 The poll that is embedded within the
presentation or web page will update in real
time.
