This presentation addresses student technology ownership patterns and preferences, hybrid learning models, as well as innovations/developments in microlearning, collaborative learning, and microcredentialing.
29. HyFlex: Pros & Cons
• Personalization on a
weekly basis: learning
menu
• JIT flexibility
• Enables review
• Conceptual model
• Supports small-group
engagement and
collaborative work
• Development effort
• Presumes independent
learner
• Requires online support
• Can tie up F2F space;
but can inform future
course design
• Precursor to adaptive
learning
31. Microlearning
• Delivered in 5 minutes or less
• Quicker path to relevance, very specific
• Supports priming and/or leveling content
(before)
• Provides reinforcement, supplement (during)
• Supports reflection, reinforcement, and spacing
(after)
• Provides social learning objects >> supports
engagement
32. Microlearning
• Usually not live, delivered on demand (low effort, low
cost content)
• Production quality does matter (sort of)
• Enables access from anywhere
• Must fit learner needs (JIT)
• Supports content areas that are difficult
• Can leverage outside SMEs
• Best used as a series/learning bundle
• Badgeable: Recognition for completing microlearning
item or series
• Supports multiple instructional models
36. What is it and what does it do?
• An online collaborative with a partner aimed at learning a
foreign language
• A joint endeavor that consists of online regular meetings
extended over a specific time period
• Learners take responsibility for and engage in social
learning in reciprocal and autonomous ways
• Learners exercise autonomy and manage one’s own
learning process
• Learners develop relationships
• Analogous to the global workforce
38. Integrating Collaboration Tools
1. Will this application/tool enhance, improve instruction or
motivate learners?
2. Review the learning objectives to determine what activity
(with support of the tool ) will support learning.
3. Identify the content/concepts students need to learn –
review, augment and/or update content that students may
need to access during activity.
4. Will the tool encourage students to apply the content and
learn the material, construct knowledge and promote
critical thinking?
5. Create concise instructions of how-to use tool. Allow time
for learning of tool and learning of course content. AND,
explain to students.

42. “Grades are for meat and eggs. It’s simply
labeling the quality of the finished product.
As such, letter grades contribute to a system
of education that’s more about sorting
people than actually allowing them the
opportunities to learn and to master
something of value.”
It’s about personalization and
meeting students’ needs.

43. “Transcripts are a relic from a paper and
pencil age. They don’t even use whole words
to describe the course. Could you tell me
what ‘Iss Ed Res’ means? I bet you wouldn’t
guess Issues in Educational Research. What
does that title really indicate to you?”
It’s about personalization and
meeting students’ needs.

48. • No grades in program,
all artifact based
• Each course has 5-8
competencies that are
valued by learner and
employer and
badgeable
• 70+ digital badges,
one for each learning
objective
• Badges difficult to
attain, mastery
learning approach,
had to meet 100% of
criteria to earn badge
