| #Dede, l'Bahy, Whitehouse: - weblink Designing and Studying Learning Experiences
That Use Multiple Interactive Media
To Bridge Distance and Time จจ
About Tapped In.
From the abstract: "
Abstract
"Distributed learning" is a term used to describe educational experiences that combine the use of face-to-face teaching with synchronous and asynchronous mediated interaction. This instructional strategy distributes learning across a variety of geographic settings, across time, and across various interactive media. This chapter analyzes the design and educational outcomes of a Harvard Graduate School of Education course, Learning Media that Bridge Distance and Time, as a prototypical distributed learning experience.
Our research shows that the integration of interactive media into learning experiences profoundly shapes students' educational experiences. Many students reported that the use of asynchronous learning environments positively affected their participation in the course and their individual cognitive processes for engaging with the material. In addition, students indicated that synchronous virtual media both helped them get to know classmates with whom they might not otherwise individually interact within a classroom setting and provided a clear advantage over asynchronous media in facilitating the work of small groups.
Our study also documents that most students feel something important to their learning is missing in virtual learning spaces, whether synchronous or synchronous, if those are the only means of interaction used. However, less than half of our students ranked face-to-face interaction as their first choice of learning medium. This indicates that the full range of students' learning styles is undercut when interaction is limited to classroom settings rather than distributed across multiple media; with implications for the instructional design of both conventional distance education and traditional classroom instruction.
