Changed by Our Journey: Engaging Students through #Simulive Learning. | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it

The first article in this series argues that instructors who successfully engaged students during the coronavirus pandemic adapted their thinking, mustered courage, and put heart into their teaching. In this article, an instructor explains how she took an alternative approach to teaching—simulive learning—and discusses the benefits that have extended to her in-person classrooms.

Raúl De La Cruz's curator insight, June 5, 2023 6:13 PM
Very interesting to learn what simulive learning means and what it entails. Teachers now a days really should give It a try for the benefit of the students.

Using Structured Pair Activities in a Distributed Online Breakout Room

Using Structured Pair Activities in a Distributed Online Breakout Room | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it
With the increasing availability of synchronous video-based breakout rooms within online courses, there is a growing need to understand how to best leverage this technology for enhanced online education. To help address this challenge, this paper reports on a case study that explored student activity within online video-based breakout rooms via a Structured Paired Activity (SPA) methodology. SPA, which is adapted from the concept of Paired Programming, defines a general way to structure roles and activities for the participants within the breakout room. Initial qualitative results suggest that the use of SPA in online breakout rooms increases student engagement and process effectiveness. These results are potentially applicable to a broad range of web-based synchronous online courses.

Can prompts improve self-explaining an online video lecture? Yes, but do not disturb!

Can prompts improve self-explaining an online video lecture? Yes, but do not disturb! | Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning | Scoop.it
In recent years, COVID-19 policy measures massively affected university teaching. Seeking an effective and viable way to transform their lecture material into asynchronous online settings, many lecturers relied on prerecorded video lectures. Whereas researchers in fact recommend implementing prompts to ensure students process those video lectures sufficiently, open questions about the types of prompts and role of students’ engagement remain. We thus conducted an online field experiment with teacher students at a German university (N = 124; 73 female, 49 male). According to the randomly assigned experimental conditions, the online video lecture on topic Cognitive Apprenticeship was supplemented by (A) notes prompts (n = 31), (B) principle-based self-explanation prompts (n = 36), (C) elaboration-based self-explanation prompts (n = 29), and (D) both principle- and elaboration-based self-explanation prompts (n = 28). We found that the lecture fostered learning outcomes about its content regardless of the type of prompt. The type of prompt did induce different types of self-explanations, but had no significant effect on learning outcomes. What indeed positively and significantly affected learning outcomes were the students’ self-explanation quality and their persistence (i.e., actual participation in a delayed posttest). Finally, the self-reported number of perceived interruptions negatively affected learning outcomes. Our findings thus provide ecologically valid empirical support for how fruitful it is for students to engage themselves in self-explaining and to avoid interruptions when learning from asynchronous online video lectures.

Eight ways to make AI work for students and staff

As a result of this workshop and roundtable discussion, ACODE recommends institutions to:

* embrace AI in learning, teaching, and assessment, but consider potential risks and challenges that come with it, such as academic integrity concerns and workload issues

* foster a culture of transparency, collaboration, and partnership between educators, students, and AI experts, to ensure that AI is used ethically and effectively

* develop evidence-based support systems and guidelines for AI use in education, and regularly update them to keep up with the latest developments and challenges

* identify and provide appropriate training and professional development opportunities for educators to build their AI competencies, confidence and fluency

* consider the potential impact of AI on equity and accessibility and ensure that AI solutions are designed to benefit all students, regardless of their background or circumstances

* collaborate with external bodies, such as accrediting bodies and regulatory agencies, to align educational responses to AI across primary, secondary, and tertiary education sectors

* continuously monitor and evaluate the impact of AI on learning, teaching, and assessment, and be open to making necessary adjustments based on the evidence

* institutions prioritise assessment redesign, by adopting more authentic forms of assessment to minimise the option for students to use AI based tools in generating assessment content
