https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources What e-learning resources have you come across (or created) that were very effective and why were they effective? en-us 2019-03-19 11:23:54 UTC 2024-04-28 07:39:19 UTC hello@padlet.com futureteacher https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342820249 Cathy Moore's scenario examples are great - it overcomes the "here's a load of facts" approach to learning that can prevail in most online learning. This is an example of something that can be produced with low or no graphics but still be effective - it's all in the writing or the story.]]> 2019-03-19 12:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342820249 futureteacher https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342821615 If you have examples of online activities / resources that exceeded your expectations - or bombed catastrophically – and you’re happy to share what you learned from it, please add a padlet note. If possible please include a link to your example(s) so that everyone can view and possibly comment.]]> 2019-03-19 12:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342821615 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342884455 This example combines role play, story telling, ability to practice different choices and interactive assessment/feedback and although commercially produced can be easily replicated with a little planning e.g. mobile captured video shot and edited to fit the pre-planned story and interactions. Try it and think about how you might create something similar for your context and using your own tools - or perhaps you already have? Note: If you are using Chrome and it doesn't work try a different browser. You'll also find a blog post about this example on the e-learning heroes site https://blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/interactive-video-e-learning/ ]]> 2019-03-19 14:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/342884455 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343302757 This is a resource bank designed to support healthcare students who are on placement and less able to access campus support. It contains over 150 resources (pdfs, videos, web links) broken down into folders according to 'academic skills'. This resource community was complied collaboratively with Nursing lecturers who identified  assignments and underpinning skills and asked the Learning Development team to add contextualised content and links. There are currently over 1,000 staff and students enrolled on the community which has been running for about 3 years and we are at the point of evaluating how it is being used by staff and students.]]> 2019-03-20 13:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343302757 a_picot1 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343352035 Grammar Guru is an interactive academic grammar trainer built using Articulate Storyline and intended for use by international students at the University of Sheffield International College (USIC). This examples shows how gamification can be used to teach grammar, a traditionally dry subject. Students are taken on a journey in which they choose a character (guru) to serve as their guide. There are video lessons, review questions, a gamified quiz and proofreading practice. Most importantly, it allows student learning to take place with no teacher input whatsoever and as it is accessed as a SCORM package on the Blackboard VLE, student engagement and attainment can be monitored easily and centrally.

They also wanted to keep pressing the buttons to see more scenarios - a kind of gamification (ps enable macros for it to work). ]]> 2019-03-21 07:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343653115 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343655063 I have always loved these kinds of things - learning by doing. The accessibility of some of these is a bit dodgy but for students with dyslexia/adhd etc they can be brilliant. ]]> 2019-03-21 08:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343655063 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343655743 2019-03-21 08:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343655743 https://padlet.com/futureteacher/effectiveresources/wish/343656333 These have YouTube support and teacher directions.

And what consequences (foreseeable or not!) would follow?
Created with Twine to research and find out how people evaluate, criticise, engage with and (sometimes) reject expert knowledge. This activity creates an experience for students, models a way of gathering data and engages students in meta-cognitive skills, observing their own and others' decision-making in action.

Such a simple but effective way to ensure it's not just passive consumption.
