Leuven• Interaction

E-learning• E-learning → electronically supported learning & teaching o Tools in the cloud (Shakespeak, weblectures,…)o Electronic learning environment (Moodle, Blackboard)

• What do students think about a student-centered approach?


Perception to more work?

Indifference

Help?!Feeling safe in class when

nothing else to do than writing

down

Not loving the

microphone

Being in small groups makes

interaction much more fun

Hypothesis

Sample question: do you think the ‘Millenium student’ is noisy?

• Do media influence learning?• Is it really possible for students to multitask?• Distance education ↔ classroom instruction?

Reflection: Do media influences learning?


D. Clark• Media will

NEVER influence learning

• Media ↔ method/attributes

• Replaceability argument

• Confusion of technology

• Motivation to learn?

R. Kozma• Interactionism• Particular medium

= relevant (technology, symbol- & proces opportunities)

• New methods • Medium + method

We can conclude that the media attributes stay at the surface of the system

→ there is no effect of the medium to the efficacy of learning.

Is it really possible for students to multitask?

Reflection: Is it really possible for students to multitask?

• People often try to do two things at a time → Succesfully… or not?

• Attention spano Only one processing channelo Limited capacity

• Coens (2011); General ability to multitask is influenced by - o Characteristics of the task at one hand o Characteristics of the individual


• Educational context → mobile learning?o Texting, surfing, reading & writingo Anytime, anywhere

• Research Doolittle & Mariano (2008)o Shared attention → performance ↓o Static position: significant better results o Interference between tasks (Wickens)o Effect size is limited


Reflection: Is it really possible for students to multitask?

Reflection: Distance education ↔ classroom instruction?

• Characteristics of distance learningo Separation between student & teachero Influence of educational organisation on planningo Use of technological mediao Mutual interaction o Absence of others?


Reflection: Distance education (DE) ↔ classroom instruction (CI)?

• The results of (Bernard, 2004) show the following effects on these variables

o Achievement: small significant effect DEo Attitude: small negative significant effect CIo Retention: small sign. effect in favor of CI

→ Overall we see a large variability in effect size


19Student (r)evolution?

• Student coach online o Leuven: Peer - assisted Learning (PAL)o “ to teach is to learn twice”

• Distraction

• (r)evolution? → Does it have limits?

Learners in the driving seat: fact or myth?
