10. Learning path design methodology
Access
• Gentle but interesting introduction to the online learning experience
• Motivation through comfort with the online environment
Socialisation
• Creating a sense of ‘learning community’ through early opportunities to interact with other learners.
• Activities designed to encourage dialogue and sense of group experience
Formal Learning Experiences
• Asynchronous and real time activities
• Learners require two types of interaction: interaction with the content and interaction with people
Knowledge construction
• Taking the concepts from formal materials and interaction with others to create their own learning.
• Achieved through application of learning in the workplace, discussion and joint knowledge
development.
Development
• Learners actively contribute to their own learning and that of the group
• They build on ideas explored through the learning path and can adapt them to meet the individual
needs of their context
• They also contribute to the overall learning resources through their own reflections and research
