Blog Post #3 Inclusive Design

For my group interactive learning resource, it is a teaching on the economic concept of inflation. We chose educational resources to meet the needs of most learners as much as possible. For example, for hearing impaired students, we provide resources that have the ability to be read aloud by smart devices, and for students with attention deficit disorders, we provide resources such as short videos that can be played at multiple speeds. In this design, we emphasize that more diverse resources and learning methods can be adapted to a wider range of learners. This includes learners who may have different learning styles, abilities, or needs. By providing a variety of resources and learning methods, we can better meet the needs of all learners. This can ultimately lead to improved learning outcomes for all students.

In the event of an unforeseen event, such as another massive Covid outbreak, all members would need to work from home and our courses would be seamlessly taught online throughout. I think the impact of changing our courses from offline to online would be minimal. The course would be both synchronously and asynchronously. For synchronouly teaching, we have zoom meeting, and recording for the learner that can not join the zoom meeting, this allows them to access the material at a later time.

I think my professors in university did a mediocre job in this area. Although, because different students have different learning styles, states and progress, the teachers would give students their own email and plenty of office hours to communicate with them to keep up with their progress. But the teaching resources given were relatively homogeneous, usually just a lot of articles for students to read.

Post 2 – Cooperative Learning

What is Cooperative learning

Cooperative learning is a form of social interaction between students that is about the topic they are learning. A group of learner would cooperate to finish one item.

The benefits of cooperative learning

The interactive and interdependent components of cooperative learning offer the emotional and interpersonal experiences that boost emotional awareness, judgment, critical analysis, flexible perspective taking, creative problem-solving, innovation, and goal-directed behavior.(Willis, 2022)

Blueprint

The chosen topic of our group is inflation, this strategy is align with the topic. But we chose inquiry-based learning instead, because we are live in the context of inflation, they can learn through real-life experiences, better suit for this topic.
