4. Pop Quiz: Learning,
Teaching and Instructions?
A. Deliberate arrangement of learning
conditions to promote the attainment of
some intended goal
B. The acquisition of knowledge or skills
through study, experience, or being
taught
C. Learning experiences that are facilitated
by human being
Learning Teaching Instructions

5. How people learn?
• Behaviourism Learning

• Cognitivism Learning Theory
• Constructivism Learning

• Connectivism Learning

6. 7 Ways to differentiate them
• How does learning occur?
• Which factors influence learning?
• What is the role of memory?
• How does transfer occur?
• What types of learning are best explained by the theory?
• What are the basic assumptions relevant to instructional
design?
• How should instructions be structured to facilitate
learning?
Schunk, (1991)

7. Great Online Learning!
Learning anytime, anywhere, anyhow
Support Create a Supportive Team of Academic Professionals
Engage Engage Students with Interactive Learning Environments and Technology
Outcome-based Be Outcome-Focused and Set Student Expectations
Create Create a Distinctive Environment for Students

9. Designing

Learning

Before Online Learning Session
Establish learning goals
Choose delivery modes & learning
strategies
Choose the technology
Refine and iterate

10. 1. Establish Learning Goals
Constructing learning objectives using ABCD
• Audience
• Behaviour
• Condition
• Degree
Before Online Learning Session
Students will describe the steps in planning factual investigation in legal
research, including identifying and formulating relevant legal theories,
generating alternative solutions and strategies, applied to a hypothetical case.

11. 2. Choose
Delivery Modes
Before Online Learning Session
Synchronous (Real time)
Asynchronous (Delayed/Not
real time)
Mixed of synchronous &
asynchronous

12. In asynchronous online learning, you:
Do not have to carry out
live session with your
students
Can have a pre-recorded
video to support your
online learning plans
Can just plan online
learning activities using
online learning tools
such as asking them to
carry out online
discussions, ask them to
do collaborative writing
and etc.
Can carry out
assessment not real time
once you set up a date
and time for their online
assessment

13. In synchronous online learning, you:
carry out live learning session
with your students,
conduct online learning
activities and interaction occurs
in real-time but only at different
geographical location.
can conduct real time
assessment with students using
kahoot!, quizizz or other
assessment tools.

14. 2. Choose Learning Strategies
Mapping Learning Theory and Design Instruction:
• Choose the suitable learning strategy that fits learning domains (eg.
Knowledge, Skills or Attitude)
Learning Domains Learning Theory/Strategy/Approach examples
Knowledge Gagne’s Nine Levels of Learning/ Constructivism
Learning Theory/ Inquiry-based learning
Skills Kolb Experiential Learning/ Behaviourism Learning
Theory – Game-based learning
Attitude Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs/ Self Determination
Theory

Taxonomy Activities Tool
Analyze Examine the graph Easychart, Popplet
Evaluate Justify your opinion about
the following cases

Did you achieve the intended learning outcome?
How did the students interact?
Did the students meet your expectation?
What works and what went wrong?
What technical expertise you need to improve?

Grouping
Students
Cues Timing Homework
• Performance
• Interest
• Strength in
group
dynamics
• A timer
• A deadline
• Set
appropriate
duration
• Accessibility?
• Offline/Online?
• Expectation

22. Take Home Message
• It takes more effort and time to plan for online
learning
• Be aware of your time: not too much ; not too
few
