Interactive Learning Resource Topic:Ā Learning Strategies for Successful Completion of Online Courses

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.).

I am so impressed by how creative and beautiful your works were, you made great slides and the choice of subtopics and resources was great! However, in the course’s cybersecurity module, the video’s instruction line is missing, as well as the assessment and activity.

Provide a summary of The Interactive Learning Resourceā€™s strengths and weaknesses. Draw out specific examples from your peersā€™ work to justify your feedback.

Strengths:
Creative Slides: The slides were very creative and pretty, and the color choice was great too. I like how you have the avatar of each member of the group when you introduce yourself.
Clear Instructions: From the start of each module you have a table showing the course outline, itā€™s awesome!
Excellent contents: It shows that you did a lot of research on the topic, and you list the contents in every class, great job!Ā 
Weaknesses:
You may want to add more spaces in the slides so that people could read more easily. The choice of the background of the slides varies a little too much, you might want to make this less separate. The connection between each module is a bit weak, you might want to make each subtopic more connected.

Provide general, specific, and practical recommendations to your peers on how to improve their Interactive Learning Resources.

I would recommend splitting the ā€œConcise Definition of Topicā€Ā into lists or dividing them into two slides, so people could read it more easily. For the discussion assignments, I would recommend adding a link to the BrightSpace discussion part, also you might want to change the title of the ā€œOur Class Scheduleā€Ā for each section to a more specific name so that the students will know which module they were in. The background of each slide is pretty, but I suggest you think of one standard to make it better, for example, you use one scene for each slide in one module.

Hi Hazel, I really like your post! You shared a lot of ideas about how important interactions are in learning design, and you also gave me some your own experience about the interaction in your past course. You also gave detailed thoughts about the four types of interactions based on Vrasidas, thank you for your sharing!

Hi Stephine, thank you for sharing your ideas about inclusive learning. You provided great points about inclusive learning in your learning design, including setting up asynchronous format and discussion content. I really like your inclusive part about the online discussion session to help students with disabilities to avoid potential negative perceptions of others, your design shows that you really think a lot about inclusive learning! Also, great choice of the reference!

I strongly agree with you about the example that you made(the Chinese middle school), behaviorism is definitely very useful and effective when it comes to exam-oriented education. Given stimuli and the response is a quick way of rote learning, and I personally think it is effective. I believe that cognitivism is more suitable for students to have the ability to structure a system of learning in their minds so that even when they forget the response of the stimuli, they could figure it out again using the mind map in their memory.

Hi Xinrong, this is an impressive post. You provided a brief introduction to what inquiry-based learning is, and you provided tons of examples of how this approach aligns with your subtopic. The samples were so detailed, it looks like you did tons of research before hand, and you know your subtopic well. You also connect the approach with one of the three learning designs together, this is awesome.

Interaction in inclusive learning

I typed “AI in your phone” on YouTube and choose “10 INSANE AI Apps You NEED to TRY!” by Sam Beckman since it is highly related to my topic. In this video, Sam provided 10 apps we can download on our phone that contains AI, and those apps are incredibly useful in our daily life or at work. For example, he introduced an app called Starryai, which can generate artwork based on the prompt we type in.

The interaction required from the students would be to ask them to download 1 to 2 apps listed in the video and try to make some work using those apps. They would likely follow the instructions in the video, and produce their work. I would suggest they create similar work as shown in the video, to let them get familiar with AI apps, but no need to force them to learn deeply about each app, because my learning objective is to help students to recognize how AI is used in our phones.

This activity is manageable and worthwhile because the only thing they need to complete the activity is their phone. Also, learning by doing is a great strategy for students to learn and feel the usefulness and coverage of AI. This activity could be scaled for larger numbers of students, because it is not a group project, and it is an asynchronous activity.

After they tried those apps, I would like them to submit their AI generated work to BrightSpace, and also conclude some similarities about those apps. For example After they tried those apps, I would like them to submit their AI-generated work to BrightSpace and also conclude some similarities between those apps. For example, they both take some kind of input and then generate corresponding outputs. Their submission can be seen by other students in this course if they are comfortable doing so, and there will be a discussion page for them to do peer review and be given feedback from me.
