Identify components of the Interactive Learning Resource that might be missing (e.g., appropriate outcomes, alignment, interactivity, inclusivity, technology use and rationale, presentation, grammar, spelling, citations, etc.)
While going through the Interactive Learning Resources, I noticed a few missing or incomplete components. Specifically, the resource did not explicitly state which learning structure was being used – Behaviourism, Cognitivism, or Constructivism.
Furthermore, in the rationale for assessment for module 1, it was mentioned that students would carry out research and create a vlog discussing the impact of social media on self-esteem. However, in the actual assessment, there was no mention of a vlog.
I believe addressing these areas of concern would greatly enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the “Interactive Learning Resource.”
Provide a summary of The Interactive Learning Resource’s strengths and weaknesses. Draw out specific examples from your peers’ work to justify your feedback.
Strengths:
The Interactive Learning Resource has a collection of engaging materials, such as readings, educational videos, and comprehension activities, designed to enhance student engagement. Its well-organized layout, with clear headers and separate pages for different content, ensures user-friendliness and prevents students from feeling overwhelmed by an abundance of links and materials. The resource emphasizes inquiry-based learning theory, guiding students on how to learn effectively. Each module is thoughtfully structured, with clear titles and easy navigation for students to access relevant information. Detailed instructions for assessments help students understand their tasks and learn step-by-step. Interactive elements throughout the modules reinforce learning retention and comprehension, making the overall learning experience enjoyable and effective.
Weaknesses:
The Interactive Learning Resource provides various links, videos, and comprehension activities in its modules. However, some parts of the Notion page lack visual engagement. To enhance the overall appeal and increase the page’s illustrative nature, incorporating pictures or videos related to the subject matter would be beneficial.
Moreover, assigning grades for assessments and tasks would allow students to manage their time and energy according to the rubric and ratio. Including suggested student levels and grade ratios in the assessment’s rationale section would also be helpful.
Unfortunately, there were problems with the quiz located below the article on “Influence of social media users on us and our self-esteem” as it displayed an “invalid game code” when clicked.
Additionally, the learning resource lacked cohesiveness, with some modules/pages not logically flowing into each other. To address this issue, introducing each module with a logical connection to the previous ones could result in a smoother and more coherent learning experience.
Provide general, specific, and practical recommendations to your peers on how to improve their Interactive Learning Resource.
I want to begin by expressing my gratitude for the exceptional work you have done in creating this learning tool. I suggest fixing the quiz section for “influence of social media users on us and our self-esteem” to make it more enjoyable and interactive. Additionally, it may be helpful to remove the vlog mentioned in the assessment rationale for module 1 or modify the assessment to be consistent with the rationale. It would also be beneficial to include more pictures (visual aid) to enhance student engagement. Overall, I think you have created a fantastic learning resource.
