Virtual Learning: No Longer for the Select Few - The Tech Edvocate

Virtual Learning: No Longer for the Select Few - The Tech Edvocate | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Our world is quickly becoming less physical and more virtual. In the classroom, this is just as true as anywhere else. What seemed impossible just a few years ago is now probable with virtual education.

Some time ago, I learned about a virtual math playground called Mathbreakers that starts with topics as basic as counting and advances through subject matter as complicated as Calculus. Unlike the dull worksheets I grew up with, Mathbreakers uses action adventure role-playing to give students a fun, yet calculated, gaming environment that puts math at the center. Players are in control of their futures in a third-person shooter style that takes them through various conquests.

What students really think about using a VLE

What students really think about using a VLE | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Claudia Moulin is a typical first-year English Literature student. Her institution has a virtual learning environment (VLE) that she uses daily to access course information and course materials. She finds it difficult to navigate, clunky and dated. She is also frustrated by the differences in how her lecturers use it - some use it a lot, others not at all.  


During Fresher’s Week, her institution offered VLE training but Claudia did not attend. She assumed that because she can easily learn how to use other websites, platforms, and apps, she wouldn’t have any trouble using the VLE. 


 A month after classes begin, Claudia signs into the VLE to upload an assignment. It’s 11:52 and her assignment is due at 12:00. Unable to easily find the submission link, Claudia misses the deadline and has a 10% grade penalty.
