  7. Behaviorism • Shape a learner’s behavior • Instructor presents Stimuli to elicit a specific Response • B.F. Skinner • manipulate environment • observable behavior change

  8. Cognitivism • Learner processes information • Input-processing-storage-retrieval • Instructor manages info input • Learner active participant • Bruner & Vygotsky (social cognitivists)

  13. Real-Time Interactive Dialogue Multicast Presentations Research - Knowledge Creation Real-Time Seminars Net as the Gathering Place Tutorials and Questioning Secure Evaluations Collaborative Projects World Wide Web as Framework for Instruction

  14. 8 Shifts of Interactive Learning(Tapscott, 1998) Linear, sequential/serial Hypermedia Learning Instruction Construction/discovery Teacher-centered Learner-centered Absorbing materials Learning how to learn School Lifelong One-size-fits-all Customized School as torture School as fun Teacher as transmitter Teacher as facilitator Interactive Learning Broadcast learning

  15. Third Generation (1975-1995) • Electronic communication • email, chat, bulletin boards, computer networks, videoconferencing, audioconferencing • Materials highly structured but more ad-hoc directions and support possible • Student viewed as active learner, participant, contributor (advent of on-campus practices of collaborative learning) • Two-way interaction • synchronously and asynchronously

  16. Fourth Generation (1995-2005?) • High-bandwidth transmission capabilities for individualized, customized, and live video interactive learning experiences --- desktop videoconferencing, the Internet • Highly interactive --- even more than face-to-face • A learning community can be created • Materials highly structured but interactive technologies provide for ad-hoc support of learners • Student is active learner, participant and contributor
