As a practitioner with over twenty-five years of experience in the domain of education and training, educators at all levels of education face serious challenges while attempting to embrace technology in instructional processes. To cope with the new trends, educators in the field of education and professional training are challenged to update their skills and benefit from the flexibility offered by contemporary learning technologies. Based on the wealth of experience acquired while assisting institutions of learning at all levels of education to put their courses online, I thought it necessary to assist colleagues with a book entitled "Course Design for Technology Mediated Learning". Course Design for Technology Mediated Learning is structured into seven chapters: Chapter 1: Basic Notions of Learning Theories. Chapter 2: Structure and Processes of the Human Memory Chapter 3: Classification of Learning Domains and Objectives Chapter 4: Instructional Design Models Chapter 5: Searching Electronic Resources on Internet Chapter 6: Learning Management Systems Chapter 7: Basic Steps in Course Creation and Learners Enrolment in Moodle It is important to note that the chapters are not organised in a hierarchical order thus providing you with a greater flexibility to explore each chapter independently based on your needs. However, it is important to walk through from chapter one. Even if you are familiar with the different topics, there might be something new. I believe in the psychology of learning which upholds that concepts are best mastered when we rehearse existing knowledge. With this in mind, this book provides an opportunity to rehearse what you already know. References for further reading have been provided at the end of each chapter thus making it easy for those who are interested in deepening their knowledge in the issues discussed. |
