THE DO-IT-YOURSELF E-LEARNING MODEL |
The DIY e-learning model assumes that
if we want to utilise e-learning in our teaching practice, we do
it ourselves.
To do this, we need to: |
| FIND OUT: There are many new e-learning
tools, some freely available. But, we need to join e-learning
networks, explore the internet to know where to find them and
what they are good for. |
| CHOOSE: We select the tools to suit our purpose
and student needs. We select on the basis that it is small and
doable, and horses for courses. |
| LEARN: We find people who already know and
have used the tools, seek mentors and participate where possible
in professional development sessions. |
| EXPERIMENT: We need time to adapt and experiment
with the tools, to make mistakes and move on to something else
if it does not work as we wanted. |
| CONVERT: We use our pre-existing resource
materials where possible, and convert them into a form that
fits the e-learning tool. |
| SHARE: We don't re-invent the wheel. We share our
resources and our knowledge with other trade teachers who are discovering
the e-learning pathway. |
| REUSE: Once we have a resource that's suitable,
we store and archive it, so that it can be reused at any stage
in the future if relevant. |
| REVIEW: We work in an ever-changing digital
and trade environment, where today's solutions may not be tomorrow's. |
