How I do it
I draw from very many sources when designing course content and give the designing process full attention. Thinking through the best ways to reach all types of learners, as well as considering how the user will interact with the content is so important. But, that wouldn't make much of an impact without considering the goals of the teacher, the intended learning outcomes and also how to intrinsically motivate learners, |

Why?
There are so many rich resources for learning available in the world right now. And, we have the means to access those resources, literally in our back pockets. Yet, there aren't many bridges to the resources. We have almost all knowledge at our fingertips, yet, we barely use it in school. Educators want to use it, but, as a whole, education hasn't settled on a method that builds a bridge to the rich resources. I'd like to change that. I'd like to bring 21st century content to our 21st century devices. |
