Background & Rationale (1)
1. E-learning is here to stay! Typically used in a supported/blended mode
2. PDP and Life-long Learning
3. The computer used as a ‘mindtool’ (Jonassen et al in Wheeler et al, 2005)
4. Learning is chaotic and complex
![Page 4: Priska Schoenborn Academic Developer Educational Development & Learning Technologies University of Plymouth Drake Circus Plymouth, PL4 8AA pschoenborn@plymouth.ac.uk](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103015/551a4fe955034643688b4574/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background & Rationale (2)
5. The Net Generation adopting chaotic/self-directed learning
6. Gap between new generations of students and existing teaching methods
7. Need to rethink our educational model (Schank 2002)
8. Less structured methods Tutor = facilitatorStudents = increasingly autonomous learners

Background & Rationale (3)
9. Trend towards Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism
10.Dialogue still vital (Laurrillard 2001)
11. Incorporates JISC’s effective learning design considerations
![Page 6: Priska Schoenborn Academic Developer Educational Development & Learning Technologies University of Plymouth Drake Circus Plymouth, PL4 8AA pschoenborn@plymouth.ac.uk](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103015/551a4fe955034643688b4574/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pedagogical Underpinnings in E-learning
• Much of e-learning is still based on traditional instructional design which is derived from the behaviourist perspective, but focuses particularly on task analysis. Task analysis has emerged from a concern with internal mental processes of the learner’s mind (cognitivism). This form of instructional design is therefore based on both behavioural principles and a cognitive style. (The JISC e-learning Models Desk Study)
• In recent years, however, the most appropriate and favoured pedagogy for e-learning in HE is constructivism. Typically, learning environments based on constructivism provide authentic study materials, real-world examples, problem-based scenarios & collaborative/cooperative settings.
• E-learning approaches often include blended elements of what can be seen as different levels of analysis.

ISAD224 Students’ Initial Thoughts
“Moodle looks interesting and I like the new approach to learning. I feel I can actually go out and try harder. I’m quite looking forward to turning up which is good as I haven’t enjoyed any ISAD modules so far.”
“Industry contact is a good idea. Nice to know a bit about what happens in real workplaces.”
“Still concerned that it’s too chaotic! I like the idea but I don’t think everything will run smoothly as people will have trouble making sure everyone does their bit.”
“Sounds scary, every other team is relying on us and we’re relying on everyone else.”
![Page 22: Priska Schoenborn Academic Developer Educational Development & Learning Technologies University of Plymouth Drake Circus Plymouth, PL4 8AA pschoenborn@plymouth.ac.uk](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103015/551a4fe955034643688b4574/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ISAD224 Mid-term Evaluation
• Majority of responses were positive
• Highest number of positive responses related to team work and resources provided by tutor
• Highest number of negative responses related to student-led seminars
• Several expressed preference for traditional teaching
Positive Negative
No students % happiness No students % unhappiness
8 100% 1 100%
9 90% 1 90%
4 80% 1 80%
4 70% 2 70%
7 60% 1 50%
“To be honest I am not a huge fan of the individual working, I would prefer to have structured lectures. Although I can see the point of the student-run seminars some of the presentations have not been good; this makes it harder to learn the information.”
“I think splitting students into groups and then getting each group to study a new topic and then present it is a good idea and I have enjoyed it so far.”
“Quite like the way in which it is delivered. Took some getting used to but is better than having lectures because feel more involved with the module. This term is much better than the first term.”

2. Record your decisions on the handout provided.
3. Can you identify any additional pros and cons more specific to the project/ISAD224? Please add these to your list.
Please note that the numbers refer to the appropriate sections on the handout.
