Traditional teaching methodologies such as reading a text and answering the questions have run out of steam and need to be replaced by innovative techniques that resonate with the needs of modern learners. Today’s student wants to be an active participant of the studying process and you can easily satisfy this need by applying a student-centered approach. Not familiar with the term? Don’t worry, Sam Gliksman, an eLearning guru and author a book “Creating Media for Learning. Student –centered Projects across the curriculum” will explain it to you.
Information overload, also known as "information glut" and "data smog", is a widely known phenomenon caused by an abundance of information that our brain cannot cope with. The term is a buzzword, however, few people know the nature of the problem and how to avoid it when designing eLearning courses and teaching students. To get to the bottom of information overload problem, we interviewed an educator, speaker, director of Instructional Technology, #edchat contributor and author of the “Content curation. How to avoid Information overload” book - Steven W. Anderson.
Self-paced eLearning is in high demand on the worldwide market. According to studies, the market reached $46.9 billion in 2015[Resource]. Millions of people around the world choose distant courses over traditional ones, but the problem is that not all the courses existing on the market are qualitative, well-designed and structured.
All of us here at JoomLMS join in wishing you, our dear clients and partners, a beautiful and peaceful Christmas and New Year full of new exciting opportunities and rewarding projects.
At this wonderful time of the year we would like to take a moment and to thank everyone who have been with us through the outgoing year.
Due to the growing popularity of distance education and a number of people preferring to study at their own pace, more and more educational institutions enhance their traditional classroom by introducing online courses.
However, the concern is that online education, in comparison with traditional one, requires from a teacher a completely different set of skills, other approaches and techniques that teacher education programs don’t usually provide. A good solution is to connect with experienced teachers and try to develop the skills needed for the eLearning environment on your own.
