my blended learning model, it discusses about a potential of creating e-portfolios resources that are available for learners around the world to access. the link is at learn.barristar.net

1. DESIGN OF CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE Blend learning solution
Barry Ng via

2. ABOUT MY IDEA
My idea aims to achieve the following
 Learning on the go(M-Learning) + Blended learning
 Reduces classroom learning time and increases individual self learning time. This pushes learners to
have greater responsibility of their learning
 Spreads/widen the accessibility to learning for everyone who requires to create an E-portfolio

3. BEFORE THE SYSTEM
 Teacher teaches a subject, provide a homework for student to do and write a reflection.
 Teacher marks the assignment upon receiving the essay, returns to student with a grade.
 Teachers might be treating the E-portfolio as supplementary towards the actual topic(subject)
 Pockets of reflections and learning experiences maybe all over the place, with no singular platform
available for the learner

4. AFTER: NEW TRIAL SYSTEM
Teacher collaborates together and standardizes a central platform for E-portfolio
creation. (e.g. wordpress or blogspot)
Teacher ask learner to create the E-portfolio within the first week of school
Learner will add teacher (if possible) as a user to mark the assignments
Teacher provides an essay for learners to work on, learner does the assignment and
reports that it is ready for marking.
Learner received a grade for the assignment and adjustments are given to the
learner

5. RESOURCES AND TOOLS
All learning resources will be from learn.barristar.net
Learning resource on learn.barristar.net will comprise of videos, images and text for
learning references.
Facilitators will have to refer to this site for its instructions and references
Learner will use the classroom as an area for learning improvements and refinements.

6. CONTENT CURATION (LEARN.BARRISTAR.NET)
Contents on the portal are restricted to the following
 Videos
 3- 5 minute videos for learning of a system
 Multiple videos curated for learning a same topic (learning reinforcement)
 It must be scalable to the mobile device
 Image
 Interactive images using Thinglink (images that contains clickable links or valuable information)
 Maximum graphical representations for better meaning creation
 It must be scalable to the mobile device
 Text
 Text and paragraph spacings must be appropriate for M-learning
 It must be scalable according to the mobile device

7. ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM
Learners can access content on the go (M-learning)
Learners are able to bring the prior knowledge from previous systems or assumptions
into this learning experience and also into the classroom
Learners can access learning at a smaller bite size information, as they try to create
meaning to the content.

8. LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM
Learners might have used other platforms and choose not to use any of the platforms
given in the site
Learners might find E-portfolio irrelevant
Facilitators might have issues addressing the various platform technical issues
Learning management platform available for use to grade and mark assignments

Orange circles symbolizes the flow of their knowledge
 Smaller orange circles
 absorption of an knowledge that is irrelevant to them at this stage of life
 Trying to create meaning to the information in the site.
 Bigger orange circles
 Grasps the information and have created meaning to it
 Reinforcement of learning as a result of 1-1 coaching or mentoring by facilitator
 Answering of queries by the Facilitator
