Mod 6 Reading Thoughts

There was quite a lot to digest this week, but I think the one thing that really stood out was the table on page 5 of Applying Instructional Systems Processes to Constructivist Learning Environments by Bill Brandon. The table was called SIDEBAR 1 Attributes of meaningful e-Learning and is about "The primary goal of constructivist design is to engage learners in meaningful learning, which has five interdependent attributes. Technology — e-Learning — should support these same attributes.".

For me, its a concise, practical chart that I can use to keep focused on my intents with the courses I might design. I can see it being easy to integrate with learning objectives, state standards, and individual learning styles.

Susan, I'm glad that this chart added clarity for you. Have you become more clear on your own course plans? Or has the analysis of Casey and Khalsa added confusion to the process?
