10 Types of Learners in ELearning. One of the great things about elearning is that it can be delivered consistently to anyone who takes the course.
That is, the presentation of the material is always the same, so you know that the main points are being delivered in a predictable fashion. However, what is unpredictable is the audience. Each learner who takes your online course comes with a different background, agenda, and attitude towards the material. They may be multitaskers who find elearning to be a waste of time, or they may be devoted to understanding the course content. In other words, you can control the content and design it for the “ideal” participant, but you cannot always create a course that speaks to everyone. That said, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try! While the information acts as a friendly reminder as to the possible perceptions of your training, I think the main takeaway from this graphic is that a person could actually be one (or a mix) of these descriptions on any given day. - Forty…Now Fifty…Educational Websites To Put In Your Toolkit, Part 5.

Essentially, Google Classroom lets you create an online, well, classroom that enables you to post on a ‘stream’ (just like on Facebook) and share assignments (via Google Drive and simple uploading) with a group of students. The folks over at EdTechTeacher got a sneak peek at what it looks like and how it works. Are Courses Outdated? MIT Considers Offering ‘Modules’ Instead. People now buy songs, not albums. They read articles, not newspapers.
So why not mix and match learning “modules” rather than lock into 12-week university courses? That question is a major theme of a 213-page report released on Monday by a committee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology exploring how the 153-year-old engineering powerhouse should innovate to adapt to new technologies and new student expectations. “The very notion of a ‘class’ may be outdated,” the report argues. That line appears in the context of online courses, but one of the report’s authors, Sanjay Sarma, who leads MIT’s experiments with massive open online courses, said in an email interview that the sentiment could apply to in-person settings as well.

Formative Assessment: The Secret Sauce of Blended Success. July 23, 2014 By: Oliver Dreon, PhD in Educational Assessment, Instructional Design A few weeks ago, a colleague emailed me about some trouble she was having with her first attempt at blended instruction. She had created some videos to pre-teach a concept, incorporated some active learning strategies into her face-to-face class to build on the video, and assigned an online quiz so she could assess what the students had learned. After grading the quizzes, however, she found that many of the students struggled with the concept.
