This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:
Designing Dynamic and Technology-Rich Learning Environments --> Dynamic Instructional Design
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I enjoyed the resources on universal design and how they were included as refrence material
Dynamic learning allows instructors to use the best of both worlds. Student in the world today are engulfed in technology, by using a dynamic learning style we are putting them in their element and making it familiar to them.
I've learned more about scaffolding and how dynamic instruction benefits both student and teacher.
There are many important aspects that have made me reflect on online education. For me, the most relevant are: Flexibility, as by offering different online resources I can accommodate various learning styles. Communication is essential, if we use forums and live chats we can provide the support that students require. Technological tools are powerful, from virtual learning platforms to collaboration tools, technology can make learning more dynamic and interactive. And fostering an online community where students can interact with each other and the teacher is key to creating a sense of belonging and motivation.
I really enjoyed the distinctions of the types of relevant learning scaffolds (including instructor intervention, collaborative knowledge building, and meaningful, self-directed research).
The synergy between technology and the right teaching methodologies can enhance the learning process for students. Online learning tools are not a replacement of teachers, they are an opportunity to lead their job to a new scenario.
Dynamic instruction allows for linear instruction to be replaced. This allows for a variety of ways for students to learn, not just from the teacher through dialogue in a classroom. In turn, this can lead to greater success.
Dynamic learning creates a culture of engaged learning opportunities. Ensuring the students gain the knowledge is what is most important, no matter what way then learn the information.
Dynamic Instructional Design is more beneficial to education as it emphasizes flexibility and responsiveness to learner needs, ensuring that instruction can adapt in real-time to promote deeper understanding. By incorporating interactive and engaging elements, such as simulations and collaborative activities (group work), it fosters active participation and enhances retention of information for students. This approach also supports students who differentiate in instruction, catering to diverse learning styles and abilities, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of teaching interventions. Overall, I learned that Dynamic Instructional Design empowers instructors to create dynamic learning environments that are adaptive, engaging, and ultimately more conducive to student success. Doing Live group chats is something I learned from this training module and will implement them as "synchronous chat session one of the most dynamic interactions with students".
Technology should only be a tool and its use needs to be scaffolded
Developing eLearning environment: dynamic instructional design is vital in teaching in this advanced technology world. Both teachers and students are changing ways of thinking, ways of learning to adapt. Either blended, hybrid or face to face method, new technology should be implemented and delivered effectively to increase student autonomy. Multidirectional forms of communication help to reach learners in many ways. Essentially, understanding student's diversity would help in maximizing content input and student outcomes.
Instructors can use technology to keep the student engaged and actively learning.
The student to student model is always a good reminder about peers teaching peers, but the importance of the teacher "checking" that knowledge, vetting it, to ensure that the knowledge is correct.
Dynamic instruction uses technology to enhance the content provided.
Since everyone learns differently, an instructor must find various ways to communicate the content to the students.
there is a lot of new ways technology is helping shape the future of learning and instructing through this blended framework.
In order to reach all learners, it is important to include dynamic learning opportunities. One of my takeaways is understanding that final exams do not have to be in the form of multiple choice, etc.
Autonomy is the way to go. Having an engaging experience in and out of the classroom will allow students to take ownership and accountability of what they are learning.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading how throughout the reading of this module, it included EBP research that supported the importance of student engagement and approaching online learning in a different view.
