This document discusses best practices for emerging learning tools like modupoding and Khan Academy. [1] Modupoding combines module and podcasting by delivering course content and lessons in short video clips. [2] Khan Academy is highlighted as an example where lessons are delivered through short instructional videos created by the founder for his cousin using basic software. [3] The advantages of these tools are that they can reinforce text-based material, appeal to different learning styles, and increase student engagement through easily digestible video content.
2. Research 1…
Management assume that the younger
demographic would prefer e-learning
solutions, the company asked for 80
percent of its learning to be online.
3. When some of the learners were
questioned, they explained that the
online delivery method wasn’t as
important as having relevant examples
to which they could relate. In this
situation, the modality was not the
issue at all.

10. Socio-Cultural Psychology
Construction of all higher mental functions
occurs first outside the person in the social
world and is then constructed again in the
person’s cognition
Vygotsky (1978)
11. High Context Culture
Many things are left unsaid, letting the
culture explain.
Words and word choice become very
important in higher context communication,
since a few words can communicate a
complex message very effectively.
12. Cultural Dimension
Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI)
The extent to which the members of a culture
feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown
situations and have created beliefs and
institutions that try to avoid these is reflected in
the UAI score.
Low UAI societies maintain a more relaxed
attitude in which practice counts more than
principles and deviance from the norm is more
easily tolerated.
13. Advantage of MODUPODING
In (F2F) and beyond (online) classroom use
Rich material
Makes class more interesting
Reinforces text-based material
Bite-size video clip
14. Advantage of MODUPODING
Appeals to multiple learning styles
Supports visual learners
Increases student engagement
Pause the video at any point
Easily "digestible" course material

Deliberate on the effectiveness of the online delivery
A type of digital media consisting of an episodic series of files (either audio or video) subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication.

Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/212099055?accountid=48462 Two of the articles report on teacher-created podcast efforts. Putnam and Kingsley (2009) report on the efforts of a fifth grade science teacher to create supplemental podcasts to support student vocabulary acquisition. In a quasiexperimental, pre/posttest design (n = 58), they conclude that the students in the treatment group scored significantly higher than the students in the control group on the posttest. 86% of the students in the treatment group indicated that the podcasts helped them to learn better, 76% agreed that the podcasts helped to make learning vocabulary more interesting.
