Aims of Project –
I teach on the second year Interactive Media National Diploma course
at Mid-Cheshire. There are weaknesses in the current pedagogical
methods used. This is reflected in a high percentage of target grades
not being met in the group. I intend to investigate what opportunities
e-learning offers in improving motivation, flexibility, collaboration and
extended learning for this specific type of student who are computer
literate digital natives (Prensky, 2001). Specific areas for attention are
any written aspects of projects such as, research, continual reflection,
critical self-evaluation and collaborative work including peer feedback.
Current practice is repetitive and does not cater for all learner needs
and learning styles. The main area in need of improvement is the
research aspects of projects, I will be focusing on this in particular. In
response to the student needs, data from questionnaires and from my
investigation into other good practice I will design a learning activity
incorporating e-learning to give greater opportunities for all students
to achieve their potential.
