Idea's for the Desgin Project by Jack Gilbert https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3 en-us 2017-01-23 16:09:22 UTC 2026-03-10 18:28:48 UTC hello@padlet.com The Project: jackgilbert03 https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/148764285 For our project, we are going to look at Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS) and explore the uses of them within vocational learning. ]]> 2017-01-23 16:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/148764285 Questions we want to find out for the project jackgilbert03 https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/148766126 1) Can you teach the cultural/political elements of a role that will be required for a job?
2) Can MOOCS teach you about the community of a profession. ]]> 2017-01-23 16:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/148766126 Target Audience jackgilbert03 https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/148769269 Our target audience for the project will be students who are in vocational learning. With this in mind, we are still in the process of deciding whether the students will need to have a good understanding of using technology, or whether if we are able to ensure that the MOOCS has a super user friendly interface.

1) pass rates;
2) participation;
3) collaboration;
4) feedback; and
5) depth of learning.]]> 2017-01-24 21:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/149185577 What theoretical approaches might best best describe the way that your technological design encapsulates https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/149186607 Both Iinstructionism and constructivist methods will need to  be employed to impart the knowledge as owned by the commuity but then to also allow the student to take ownership. 
There are some challenging factors:
- when considering the learning environment, whilst 'How learning happens' is an important factor, the 'entire environment' will need to be considered in order to ensure the wider needs of the student are met e.g ability to collaborate and share experiences with other students.
- the impact of culture will need to be considered carefully - in vocational training cultures may differ between different organisations within the same industry.
- how to address the differences where learning is a socio -learning construct. If each student brings different experiences from their interaction with the real world, how will the mooc address all eventualities?]]> 2017-01-24 22:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jackgilbert03/h840opczhkw3/wish/149186607
