WEEK 8: SETTING UP A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

a. Explain, which type of learning environment is best suitable for your e-learning course prototype?

We changed learing enviroment and we decided to put prototype to Weebly. Before I had used it already and its seems to be simple enviroment and user friendly. One thing what I missed there, that is everone get edit material via their own e-mail or personal accounts like PBWorks. In weebly we have common account. But this is only what I expect. Weebly is simple, easy to use, you can easily choose design:).

b. What was the most important thing you learned this week? What kind of questions/ideas/experiences this week’s activities raised for you?

In group I have task to introduce elderly people Twitter and Bebo. Bebo is popular social networking site,but for me it was new:).I explored deebly Bebo solutions like Bebo Authors and Bebo Mobile.

d. What is your evaluation of this week's groupwork? (What did go well and what did not? How did groupwork influence fulfilling your personal learning contract?)

Everything went well. We got new enviroment. Everyone did group work even if they was busy. In group was high spirit:) and I am happy about my group members even we have very diffrent experiences, but we have common vision how to do tasks.

WEEK 7: course material development

What was the most important thing you learned this week?

If I started this course I didint know how to do course protype in e-learning. I had many suspicious. I had been particpated 1 e-learning course. I didnt know anything in e-learning. Now I have experience how to do e-learing course. Especially I got experiences in group work. I am very satisfied I got many experiences how to e-learing protype, especially last weeks. I understood that it is very good if in group work as member who have lot of experinces. I learned group work dont need be necessarily at same time in Skype(we group collobration software). Maiby its necessarily at course begin.

What is your evaluation of this week's groupwork? (What did go well and what did not? How did groupwork influence fulfilling your personal learning contract?)

Everyone did job very well. Like I said previously we didint do to work at same time. At begin we thought its negative aspect. But fortunately everyone did own part very well. When was need to correct other group member work, then we just edit.

Iphone ja IPad Touch on saanud üheks enim kasutatavateks tehnoloogiateks m-õppes. Lugedes inglise keelseid artikleid, siis tõdesin, et enamasti kasutatakse Apple tehtud rakendusi enam klassiruumides, kui õuesõppe tegevuste läbiviimiseks. Matemaatika on üks kindlustatuimaid õppeaineid rakenduste osas.

Järgneval lingil on toodud rakendused, mis on saadaval algkooli jaoks http://tonyv.me/list2

Järgnevalt on kirjeldatud GetYa Learn On poolt tehtud uuring, kus kasutati statistika õppimiseks Iphone. Abilene Christian Ülikoolis kasutati Iphone statistika õppmiseks 2009.aasta sügissemestril. Uudne mobiiltelefon oli loengute toetamiseks. Rakendus, mida Iphones kasutati kandis nime Statistic I. Rakendust kasutati loengute toetamiseks. Üliõpilased said IPhonest lugeda materjale, lahendada teste ning õppida eksamiks.
Statistic I sisaldab järgnevaid komponente:loenguid küsimusi, kalkuaatorit, valemeid,erialasõnastikku jne.

Järgnev video näitab lähemalt, millised on kasuatud rakendused.





Uuringus selgus, et Iphone kasutades suurnes akadeemilinevõimekus. Kindlasti oli oma osa selles ka motivatsioonil ja uudsel tehnloogial. Järnevalt plaanitakse õppetöös kasutama hakata juba Ipadi.

Week 6

Reflect and summarize on course readings in your personal Weblog: What do you consider as important elements in an e-learning course?

1.Objective-relevant content
2.access to course webpage, access to content
3.feedback
4.interface-easy to use interface, good tools design
5.evaluation-facilator evaluation

What was the most important thing you learned this week? What kind of questions/ideas/experiences this week’s activities raised for you?


I read Kai Pata presentation. For me was new instrutactional research term and models. Instrutactional research help study people more effectively. Instrutactional research use ADDIE model which can use in effective learing curriculum(bihaviorism) Also there is Kemp indrotactional design, which can use if group is bigger. RD2D use social constructive learning enviroments. There students involved development process. RD2D design progerss is a spiral.

In my groupwork I learned its hard to find right time to do groupwork. We cant meet appropriate time. We are diffrent people. Its difficult to find time to get togheter in Skype. Luckily we did gropup work appropriate time.

What is your evaluation of this week's groupwork? (What did go well and what did not? How did groupwork influence fulfilling your personal learning contract?)

As I said we didint find appropiate time to do groupwork together. Group work didint influence my fullfilling personal learning contract.

Describe what has changed in your personal learning environment and in group environment?

In my personal learning and in group work I do not use google apps. In group work we use PBWork, Skype and also Twitter and Facebookf for course design.

Week 5

Revise your personal learning contract if needed, considering what you have learned so far, what is going differently from your initial plans, how the environment has changed. Please start a new blog post for revision and keep the first version of the contract. Refer to the first version.

1. I will read course page
2. If there is more I want get know then I will explore more informations or software
3. I will read others particpants blogs.
