Social Presence & Co-construction

Posted on January 28, 2020February 12, 2020 by Dani

Week 8 – Instructional Design – Theory/Applied Summary: This week we discussed the epistemological assumptions implicit in the design of learning environments and the characteristics of constructivist learning environments. “Aside from a few notable exceptions, the design of most online learning environments is structured around the traditional instructional delivery model…” Quinton, 2010, p. 327 The…

Assessment & Enculturation

Posted on October 24, 2019January 11, 2020 by Dani

Week 6 Theme: Assessment, Reflection, Participation The focus of this week was on assessment, but in thinking of assessment, I revisited some of my key assumptions regarding knowledge.  Understanding knowledge as something that occurs between people, makes me think that in some ways it is an act of perpetually attempting to reach consensus (notes 1447,…

Week 3 – Historical Influencers and Looking More Deeply at the Various Aspects of Online Learning The resounding idea for me this week is Bruner’s statement that “Knowledge is a process, not a product” (1966; qtd in Smith, 2002). I was unfamiliar with Bruner and his concept of a spiral curriculum until the readings this…

Constructivism & Articulation

Posted on October 1, 2019January 11, 2020 by Dani

Week 2 – Intro to Constructivism and Online Learning Discussion I think my biggest revelation this week note was understanding that before instructional techniques can change, the goals of education need to change, and that these goals are ultimately defined via our assessment tools. If we don’t change the definition of success, than Sawyer’s argument…

Week 1 What does the constructivist perspective mean to me and my thinking about teaching and learning in an online context? [include references] I understand constructivism to mean that knowledge and identity are continually reconstructed through social interaction. I particularly like the way that Neil Mercer frames it as ‘interthinking’, or the process through which…
