Editor's Notes
- Welcome and introductions Today’s meet!!! https://todaysmeet.com/PCETeLearning List any specific aspects of elearning you would like to explore
- Blended Learning is an approach to learning and teaching which combines and aligns learning undertaken in face-to-face sessions with learning opportunities created online. New types of learning activities challenge our thinking as to how learning might be facilitated, creating new etiquettes of learning and teaching, and shifting the locus of control from the teacher to the learner. (Littlejohn and Pegler, 2006, p4) The use of new multimedia technologies and the internet to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services, as well as remote exchanges and collaboration There are many definitions of e-learning currently in use. Let’s use a based on a definition of e-learning as: the use of electronic technology to support, enhance or deliver learning
- We really know very little about the process of learning, how the mind works when learning. We’re very good at pointing and naming, so we have parts of the brain labelled synapse, neuron and cortex, and theories about how it all somehow works together and enables us to learn, but learning remains one of the life’s great mysteries. That aside, in more practical terms, learning is that which enables you to participate successfully in your life and in the environments that matter to you. Learning involves meshing new material into what you already know. Learning creates neural connections and rewires your brain. Successful connections build knowledge to help you prosper. Learning is a series of course corrections to keep you headed in the right direction. Try, fail, succeed, and try again. Learn. It doesn’t stop until you die.
- How do people learn? One of the best ways to learn is social; we learn with and from other people. If we look at Vigotsky’s social constructivism Skinner’s behaviouism and Piagets constrictivism, there are many links to how we learn in
- Aristotle said, “What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing,” and Einstein echoed, “The only source of knowledge is experience.” (Aristotle added, “We cannot learn without pain.”) Confucius said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” And we can add that if I hear and see and do and then practice and teach, I understand even better.
- Why do people learn? People learn because they have an innate desire to excel, the promise of reward, the fear of punishment, the lure of advancement, social pressure, peer pressure, curiosity, a quest for understanding, the satisfaction of accomplishment, status, pride and more. You have your own reasons which I’m sure you can name. The value of learning is in the eye of the beholder.
- So what has changed? Lets ponder

- IT can be taken to refer to the hardware, software and skills that surround a single stand-alone computer or laptop. The key to ICT, however, is in the possibilities for communication, both within and between institutions and or individuals eLearning is characterised by the use of ICT to deliver learning experiences and may extend to on-line guidance, assessment and recording of progress. http://moodle.rsc-wales.ac.uk/mod/book/view.php?id=4010&chapterid=491

- Increasingly learners are ICT literate with high expectations of ICT availability, any time any place any where access, ICT contact with teachers, teaching resources, learning materials, MIS & learner services. Many students always online and require wired, wireless and mobile devices. http://moodle.rsc-wales.ac.uk/pluginfile.php/5301/mod_resource/content/0/module1/e_learning_living.swf
- It is important to decide how to integrate ICT into the scheme of work and which topics lend themselves to ICT. You will need to prioritise your move into on-line learning. ICT is a tool that extends and enhances good practice rather than constituting a replacement for traditional delivery. The very best teaching and learning uses a range of delivery methods, and it is nearly always best to start modestly with small-scale projects that you will be using soon after its completion. Learners respond better to a limited resource which 'does what the label says' than they do to an ambitious site full of 'Under Construction' messages. To make your efforts worth while, you could incorporate the ICT tasks into the work scheme and into some of the assessments you set. The list below suggests a number of ways you can incorporate ICT into the topics you deliver.
