This week we have been focusing on the various ways to create online instruction. The various theories of "Behaviorist," "Cognitivist," "Constructivist," and "Connectivist."
The main concept that I see with the various theories and types of instruction are out there and no one is the answer. The answer is for the educator to know all about all of them and provide an opportunity for all educators to learn regardless of the delivery, assessment, etc.
Richard,
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!
Which theory do you think you would mostly use? Are you interested in developing online classes in the future?
Hi Richard!
ReplyDeleteGood post! Stay abreast of what's going on and watch it evolve; sounds practical and realistic!
This seems to be how the internet actaully develops, like a healthy profit motive driving innovation. I think that the more people use distance education to learn, the more demand there will be for effective learning programs. I also think that the interest in learning will be the most important drive.
