ETC645 Lesson 1 Reflections
This instructor reflection is help students to improve their
learning to meet their own and the class’s expectations.
We have finished Lesson 1 instructions. I hope it gave you better ideas on how our
class works. Thanks for your actively
participating in Lesson 1 discussions and other lesson activities. Here are some reflections to share with you
to help you to enhance your further learning.
Group 1 has done a great job facilitating our lesson 1 discussions. Please do continue your good work in the
upcoming lessons.

Lesson Discussions
o Post
your responses as early as possible so your good ideas won’t be taken by our
classmates. We have a very heavy schedule
of reading assignments. It is important
to complete the lesson readings before the lesson starts.
o Key
word for Subject field: Did you update the Subject field for each of your
postings? Do update with the relevant
keywords so our threaded discussions will be easier to follow when we are ready
to read and to reply to the postings.
o Avoid
initiating a new thread for our lesson discussion. Use “reply” to post your responses.
o Be
sure to respond to the questions raised by others to your postings.
o Lesson
1 discussion reflections
o Why is it important to learn
instructional design for online learning?
Some of us may or may not have chance to teach or to design online
learning instructions. Learning about online learning instructional designs is
to help us to know how wide human learning can be. Online technologies are considered to have the
potential to extend human learning. By
knowing how far online technologies may extend human learning helps us to teach
and design in online or non-online learning environments. Even though, we may not have the chance to
teach or to design online instructions, it is almost impossible that we do not
integrate online technology to support our non-online instructions.
o Learner
interaction
§ When
we study online learning, one thing we should understand: Online learning is
not taking FTF instruction and putting them online. Online learning has its own learning
paradigm, and theoretical framework. Learner
interaction is the key element in online learning. More specifically, online
learner-learner interaction is very critical because without it, online
learning would be more like correspondence learning.
§ In
our 2nd key discussion question, we pondered how attributes of
learning related to six forms of online interaction. This is a very challenging question because
it requires us to be able to think in a larger picture of learning and online
interaction. I suggest that you to draw
a diagram to help you to relate the two domains to each other to help you
understand online learning. What sort of
diagram may you draw to show the relationships between two domains?
o
Here
are a few questions to help you to challenge your understanding in online
learning.
§ Within
all six types of interactions, what interactions are more critical to online
learning?
§ Technology
is critical to online learning. Why is technology
not included in the six types of online interaction? Shouldn’t learner-interface/technology
interaction be critical?
§ If
online technology shouldn’t be seen as replicating FTF instructions, what role should
online learning play in human learning?
o
In
our lesson discussion feedback, we provide both individual qualitative and
quantitative feedback to help you to support your learning. The quantitative feedback is based on your individualized
personal learning analytic data. The
purpose is to help you to understand your lesson discussion performance
throughout the class by comparing yourself, to classmates, the whole class, and
previous classes. Learning analytic is
an emerging instructional technology to support us to build our PLEs. I hope
you will find them useful to your learning.
Extracting these individualized data isn’t easy in BBLearn system. I
will do my best to provide you with individualized data to help you to organize
your PLE. Quantity doesn’t represent our
learning performance. So we have
qualitative feedback to help us to improve our lesson discussion performance.
o
I
think we have many quality postings although our average postings were below
the historical average. We do focus on the quality of the discussion not
just quantity. Without a certain level
of quantity, the quality could be limited. I hope we will have both positive
quality and quantity discussions in upcoming discussions.
