While much of the course content was a review, I do appreciate the emphasis on teacher professional development to focus on instructional design over technology methodologies.
Dynamic learning allows students to learn with scaffolded instruction in a way that fosters learning.
I have learned that dynamic learning allows use of the internent to provide student-to-teacher, student-to-student and content-to-student interactivity that increases engagement by allowing users to make more decisions about how and how much they learn. Scaffolding, often provided during synchronous sessions, and is critica to the effective use of these resources. Online resources can provide research, communications, and a platform for learnning production. I will incorporate these resources into my online learning.
I do like the concept of the scaffolding approach to e-learning and all of the various supports that are needed to be successful. Support comes from not just the instructor but also in the form of additional resources, synchoronus chat sessions, self reflection, and asynchoronus chats.
Designing a course on line that incorporate more scaffolding of concepts and with building at a higher level of critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills
I am particularly interested in the way the diagram on communication represents the many opportunities a learner has with multiple outcomes for learning. Then the learning can be applied to real-world situations in a Dynamic Learning Environment and it is what every classroom should be.
This course is providing me with benefits to instruction and effective ways to increase student's learning autonomy through technology. I have learned that a Dynamic Learning Environment is where students are engaged and course interaction is maximized. Thorugh this type of learning environment, the learning can be applied to real life experiences.
I like the diagram on dynamic forms of communication because it illustrates the potential interaction within a dynamic learning environment: student to teacher, student to self, student to student, and student to content.
This course has breaked down a wide variety of information, explaining the different parts of Dynamic Instructional Design.
