  1. R2D2 on the Blend: A Galaxy of Online Learning Style Ideas and Blended Learning Examples(Part II: Learning Styles and Motivation) Curt Bonk, Professor, Indiana University President, SurveyShare, Inc. cjbonk@indiana.edu http://php.indiana.edu/~cjbonk http://SurveyShare.com

  2. 1. Addressing Learning Styles

  3. But how might blended learning address student learning styles?

  4. Why Address Learning Styles? • Promotes reflection on teaching • Move from just one mode of delivery • View from different viewpoints • Offer variety in the class • Might lower drop-out rates • Fosters experimentation

  5. Kolb (1984) • According to Kolb, effective learning involves four phases: • from getting involved (Concrete Experience) to • listening/observing (Reflective Observation) to • creating an idea (Abstract Conceptualization) to • making decisions (Active Experimentation). • A person may become better at some of these learning skills than others; as a result, a learning style develops.

  6. Active Experimentation vs. Reflective Observation • (AE) - I often produce off-the-cuff ideas… • (RO) - I am thorough and methodical. • (AE) - I am flexible and open minded. • (RO) - I am careful and cautious. • (AE) - I am loud and outgoing. • (RO) - I am quite and somewhat shy.

  7. Abstract Conceptualization vs. Concrete Experiences • (AC) - I am rational and logical. • (CE) - I am practical and down to earth.  • (AC) - I plan events to the last detail. • (CE) - I like realistic, but flexible plans. • (AC) - I am difficult to get to know. • (CE) - I am easy to get to know.

  8. Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire Barbara A. Soloman, North Carolina State Univhttp://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html

  9. 1. Read 4. Do 2. Reflect 3. Display

  10. The R2D2 Method • Read (Auditory and Verbal Learners) • Reflect (Reflective Learners) • Display (Visual Learners) • Do (Tactile, Kinesthetic, Exploratory Learners)

  11. What types of learning styles does the Web favor?

  12. Auditory and verbal learners prefer words, spoken or written explanations. 1. Auditory or Verbal Learners

  13. 1a. Course Announcements: Clarity

  14. 1b. Q&A or FAQ

  15. 1c. Reflection Papers (3-4 page) • Learning journeys • Team reflection papers • Trends in field papers • Chat with expert reflections • Job application papers • Personal learning theory • PMI, Pros and Cons, Muddiest pt

  16. 1d. Guest Expert Chats • Find article or topic that is controversial • Invite person associated with that article (perhaps based on student suggestions) • Hold real time chat • Pose questions • Dscuss and debrief (i.e., did anyone change their minds?) (Alternatives: B. Email Interviews with experts; C. Assignments with expert reviews)

  17. 1e. Synchronous Meetings and Expert Guest Chats/Mentoring (SmartMeeting)

  18. 1f. Synchronous Testing & Assessment(Giving Exams in the Chat Room!, Janet Marta, NW Missouri State Univ, Syllabus, January 2002) • Post times when will be available for 30 minute slots, first come, first serve. • Give 10-12 big theoretical questions to study for. • Tell can skip one. • Assessment will be a dialogue. • Get them there 1-2 minutes early. • Have hit enter every 2-3 sentences. • Ask q’s, redirect, push for clarity, etc. • Covers about 3 questions in 30 minutes.

  19. 1g. Blogs (diaries, writing)

  20. 1h. Online Resource Libraries

  21. 1i. Read and React to Documents in Foreign Language (Fraser & Liu, IU) • Have students receive e-newsletters from a foreign magazine as well as respond to related questions.

  22. Reflective and observational learners prefer to reflect, observe, view, and watch learning; they make careful judgments and view things from different perspectives 2. Reflective and Observational Learners

  23. 2a. Online Testing

  24. 2b. Learner-Content Interactions(Sun Microsystems)

  25. 2c. Post Model Answers

  26. 2d. Reuse Chat Transcripts

  28. 2f. Conferences with Live Video Feeds(Internet Time Group, 6/23/03 http://www.internettime.com/visual/gallery6.htm)

  29. 2g. Watch Expert Performances Online(Music, Cyber Fashion Shows, etc.)

  30. 2h. Electronic Portfolios

  31. Visual learners prefer diagrams, flowcharts, timelines, pictures, films, and demonstrations. 3. Visual Learners

  32. 3a. Videostreamed Lectures and Expert Commenting (download before class or listen if missed) • Video streaming subscription services will take off in the next several years, according to a new study, which estimates that the market's value will reach $4.5 billion in 2007(Sept 23, 2003, Stephanie Olsen, CNet News.com).

  33. Videostreaming is a Breeze!

  34. 3b. Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) project from Tufts

  35. 3c. Flash Visuals and Animations(e.g., Statistics, Cash Flow, etc.)eCollege Wales, Univ. of Glamorgan
