  1. Dr. Intan A Mokhtar Assistant Professor Policy and Leadership Studies National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University 2 – 4 December 2009 Day 1 AMB005 Introduction to instructional technology IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  2. Overview for Day 1 • What is instructional technology? • Getting started with instructional technology • Modes of learning – VARK – Dale’s Cone of Learning Experiences • Instructional technology tools – Software application (stand-alone) – Internet-based – Web-based IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  3. What is instructional technology? • Involves the theory, design and development of processes for effective learning, supported by appropriate resources • Different kinds of technologies are used to facilitate the teaching or instruction • Technologies can range from stand-alone types (e.g. voice recorder, computer) to networked ones (e.g. television, radio, the Internet) IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  4. Getting started with instructional technology • The Internet and its impact on global economic growth • Faster access to current information leads to power and wealth • Importance of memorization  as use of the Internet and robotic search engines  • Hence, new pedagogies are needed in teaching and learning IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  5. Getting started with instructional technology • Evolution from newsprints  radio  television  Internet + mobile technologies • Moore’s Law: exponential growth of computing power • More transistors on each new chip • Faster processing speed • Obsolescence of older computers and technologies is increasing IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  6. Getting started with instructional technology • Moving through the ages: Agricultural  Industrial  Information  Knowledge-based Economy • In teaching and learning: Read, Write & Arithmetic (3Rs)  Integrity, Independence and Innovativeness (3Is) IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  7. Our instructional technology concept map 4. Assessment 1. Modes of Learning Instructional Technology 2. Tools 3. Issues IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  8. 1. Modes of Learning IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  9. Modes of Learning – What & Why? • How individuals learn – how information is received and processed  cognition and understanding • Different people have different preferences and inclinations for learning • Knowing your trainees’ preferred mode(s) of learning helps facilitate the learning process and improves cognition effective learning IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  10. VARK questionnaire • Answer the given questionnaire IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  11. VARK – Neil Fleming • Developed together with Charles Bonwell in 1987 • One of the most widely used instruments to determine preferred learning mode(s) Visual Aural Read/Write Kinaesthetic IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  12. Cone of Learning Experiences – Edgar Dale IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  13. Continuum of learning experiences Direct, experiences Verbal description by another person CONCRETE ABSTRACT Cone of Learning Experiences – Edgar Dale • Can be described along the Continuum of Learning Experiences • Having a good balance of concrete and abstract experiences in learning is desired IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  14. LUNCH IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  15. 2. Instructional Technology Tools IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  16. Instructional Technology Tools – An Overview Non Computer-based Instructional Technology Tools • Television • Radio • Voice recorder Computer-based Application software (stand-alone) Web-based & Web 2.0 Internet-based • Database applications • Word processors • Spreadsheets • Media players • Bluetooth • Desktop publishing • Weblogs • Websites • Wikis • Social networking sites • Instant messaging • Short message service • Emails • Newsgroups • Intranet • Instant messaging IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  17. Application Software (Stand-alone) Tools Some common application software: • Word processing eg. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works • Spreadsheetseg. Microsoft Excel, Open Office Calc • Databaseseg. Microsoft Access, Open Office, Base • Multimedia Presentation eg. Microsoft Powerpoint, Open Office Impress • Media players eg. Windows Media Player, Real Player IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  18. Application Software (Stand-alone) Tools • Note that these tools can be used on their own without the need for any networks to be established • Each of these tools can run on a computer on its own and is fully functional IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  19. Multimedia Presentation: MS Powerpoint • Slide transition • Hyperlinks • Insertion of diagrams and clip art IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  20. TEA BREAK IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  21. Internet-based Tools Some common Internet-based tools: • Electronic mail eg. Microsoft Outlook , Lotus Notes (usually requires a common or compatible OS; now LAN) • Newsgroupseg. talk.politics, comp.lang.java.help(comes about from the old bulletin board system) • Intranet systems eg. MOE Intranet, SPF Intranet • Instant messaging systems (usually tagged onto the e-mail system) IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  22. Web-based and Web 2.0 Tools What is the Web? • Part of the Internet – other parts are email, online chats, online games, and file transfer and sharing • The World Wide Web (or simply, the Web) is an extensive collection of interlinked documents, images, and other resources, connected to one another via hyperlinks and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) • Platform for transfer between hyperlinks and URLs is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  23. Web-based and Web 2.0 Tools What is the Web? • The Web is accessed through web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape; a less common browser is Firefox; for mobile computers, this may be Safari • Exploration of the Web is through keyword-driven robotic search engines eg. Google, Yahoo, Live Search (MSN) • The Web has created the sudden onslaught of large amounts of decentralized information and mass publishing IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  24. Web-based and Web 2.0 Tools Web 2.0 • Evolution of the Web to facilitate more interaction and information sharing • Allows easier publishing and citizen journalism • Features of Web 2.0: • Interoperability • User-centered design (more GUI) • Elements of “click-and-drag”  no need to learn specific programming languages (barely any scripting) • Web 2.0  Participatory Web • Web 1.0  Information source Web IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  25. Web-based and Web 2.0 Tools Examples of Web 2.0 Tools • Websiteseg. With domains such as .com, .org, .net • Weblogseg. Blogger, Word Press • Wikiseg. Wikipedia, WikiHow, WikiAnswers, WikiMapia • Video/media sharing sites eg. YouTube, Flickr (extensions from the old FTP) • Social networking sites eg. Facebook, My Space • Folksonomies – collaborative system of classification and tagging; usually embedded within another Web 2.0 application eg. Wikipedia, Flickr IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  26. Setting up your own Blog • Go to any of the many free web-hosting blogs eg. Blogger, Word Press, Live Journal • Create an account (but you would need to have an email account ready) • Activate your blog account (if needed) • Start blogging Note: Some blog hosts allow privacy protection for your blogs (i.e. not everyone in the public domain can read what you’ve written on your blog) IAM/PLS/NIE/amb005

  27. Setting up your own Wiki • Go to any of the many free web-hosting wikis eg. Wikispaces, Wikidot, Wiki-site • Create an account (but you would need to have an email account ready) • Activate your wiki account (if needed) • Start populating your wiki Note: Unlike a blog, you really have not much control over who writes on your wiki since ‘every reader is an author’.
