In our interactive learning resources, to meet the needs of our learners, we may first ask students to introduce themselves or complete some questionnaires. In this way we can effectively learn about their current learning environment, learning situation and even their health. This will help us to understand if there are any barriers to learning that may be affecting the learners. Then we can help the learners accordingly. After that, we should also break down the learning into stages, posting them in order from easy to difficult, and collecting questions from learners at the end of each stage and providing help, and the forum can be a good way to do this. Of course, there are many things we should do in addition to this, such as fully understanding what we are teaching, Lucas also mentioned it in his post, and I agree with him.
If special circumstances occur that affect the learners, it’s like the epidemic we experienced before. I think that recording videos and providing online teaching resources is a good solution, not only for large-scale special situations like Covid-19, but also for situations where one or a small group of learners cannot learn properly.
In addition to recording videos and providing online resources for large scale exceptions, it is possible to adjust the timing of exercises or exams that may occur during instruction. You can set them up for a day or a few days and tell them in advance so that learners can choose the time they are comfortable with. Alternatively, changing these to assignments or projects may be another good solution.
When experiencing large-scale special situations, in addition to recording videos and providing online resources for them, you can adjust the timing of exercises or exams that may occur during instruction. You can set them for a day or a few days and tell them in advance so that learners can choose the times they are comfortable with. Alternatively, changing these to assignments or projects might be another good solution.
For special situations that arise for a single or a few learners, I think it would be useful to have an ongoing forum where learners can post problems and difficulties they are experiencing. This would both help learners with their problems and let us know if they are in a particular situation and help them as much as possible.
Hi YunJun,
Its great that you have your resoucre online! This makes it acessable to so many more learners. Another thing to keep in mind in moddifcation and adaptions to fit learners needs. Students will be at different capabilitily levels and will need agustments to the materials. Are there activities in your resource you thin you could scafold or adjust to fit learners at different levels?
