Blended learning, flipped
classroom
Blended learning
Different models
Instruction at home
Assignments, discussions, questions and answers at university
Students provide presentations
Facilitated with VLE
VLE for co-creation
Students choose meaningful theme (e.g. development game concept that fosters moving)
Working in groups, division of tasks
Searching information
Processing: video’s, text, test questions
Results
Increased motivation
Broad scope and in-depth learning
Collaborative skills
More responsibility for own learning
Online video and learning
Self-testing
NRC, januari 2011

Designing adaptive clothing
Why progressive inquiry
Writing fosters restructuring thoughts and deep learning
Involving “quiet” students
Studenten more active than teachers
More possibilities for feedback of high quality (time to think about interventions)
Visibility contributions (promotes diligence)
Developments and impact
Big data

Learning analytics
Identifying patterns in educational data and using these patterns to enhance and improve learning, H. Drachsler (2013)

Rich information about learners
Enabling personalized learning
Promoting reflection by learners
Chances
How do we use data?Interpretation?Important for organization and student?Does a VLE enable learning analytics?

Accessible educationAccessible educational resourcesKnowledge increases by sharing
Efficient use of resourcesOpen source software
MOOC
Massive (but how many is ‘massive’)
Open, free, accessible (how open?)
Online
Course, but no certificate (at least....)
2008: cMOOCs
2011: xMOOCs
In the mean timeLarge diversity (e.g. pedagogical approaches)
Combination different innovations (badges, mobile learning, learning analytics)
Should the ‘C’ of MOOC stand for ‘Course’?
Drop out as issue, quality, business model
Used for LLL, more awareness opportunities for LLL
Lot of questions to be answered
Are VLE’s able to facilitate MOOCs?
Vragen?
