Dall'asincrono al sincrono: buone pratiche per l'apprendimento on-line
2009
La diffusione degli ambienti di blended elearning nei corsi universitari è sempre maggiore Sorge la necessità di individuare delle pratiche che possono consentire il raggiungimento di adeguate competenze anche tramite una interazione più assidua e diretta tra studenti e docenti/tutor. Si è ritenuto di esaminare più in dettaglio i risultati di apprendimento e l’acquisizione di competenze analizzando percorsi sostenuti da interazioni ( a distanza) solo asincrone e percorsi sostenuti da interazioni (a distanza) sincrone. La ricerca ha messo a fuoco le caratteristiche della comunicazione asincrona, in ambiente blended e-learning, più significative ai fini degli obiettivi di apprendimento; quind…
Un’esperienza di e-Learning condotta c/o l’I.T.C.S. “Libero Grassi” di Palermo
2009
Viene presentata una esperienza di e-lerning condotta presso l’I.T.C.S. “Libero Grassi” di Palermo. Dodici tra alunni e alunne di alcune classi dell’Istituto hanno effettuato, a livello sperimentale, uno Sportello Formativo di Matematica on-line utilizzando come applicazione informatica di erogazione Windows Live Messenger, senza costi aggiuntivi per l’Istituto Scolastico se si esclude il costo di una tavoletta grafica necessaria per scrivere rapidamente espressioni, equazioni e tracciare grafici. L’esperienza è stata valutata qualitativamente attraverso un serie di domande somministrate agli alunni e ai genitori degli alunni partecipanti alla sperimentazione. I feedback ricevuti incoraggia…
Comprehensive E-Learning Appraisal System
2019
The healthcare sector in the XXI century presents a big technological development that covers a broad knowledge. All fields of medicine are deepening their knowledge, which increases the volume of material that must be handled by professionals in each specialty. This large volume of material should be taken into account by health professionals, because it contributes to a better quality of care. The traditional way of teaching has been face-to-face classes; however, with rising technologies, virtual training via computers and virtual teachers are being implemented in some institutions. This change in the way of teaching also leads to changes in how to assess the knowledge gained through thi…
E-heutagogy for lifelong e-learning
2012
Abstract The paper aims to introduce a new concept: e-heutagogy. This aim is approached through two sub-objectives:a) Giving the rationale for the new concept of e-heutagogy.b) Outlining the features of e-heutagogy necessary for lifelong e-learning.Why do we need a new concept? Learning is a complex concept and it is a part of our entire life. Today we can speak about new generations of learners at all levels, from kindergarten to university, not only due to technology but also due to rapid changes in open, heterogeneous, dynamic and uncertain environments.Taking into account that heutagogy is appropriate to the needs of learners but learners are most of their life without their teachers an…
A Math E-Learning Course to Improve Pupils’ Performances
2013
This chapter presents an e-learning teaching/learning activity to support the traditional activities at school. It was developed as a part of a P.O.R. project (Piano Operativo Regionale) of the Regione Sicilia for the Mathematics subject. The experiment was conducted at Libero Grassi school (Istituto Tecnico Commerciale Statale) in Palermo, Italy. The designated e-learning platform is the open source system, Moodle. The main purpose of the formative activity is to reduce students’ educational gap, which may generate “educational debits” at the end of the school year. If the students do not overcome these debits, they are not admitted to the next year. This activity took place during the sec…
Meaningful learning and new technologies: e-learning and mathematical surfaces
2014
E-learning is undoubtedly a unique and exciting opportunity for interaction between the traditional teaching-methodological framework and the new technologies. It gives the opportunity for each student to build their own personal path of interpretation and ease the reticulated structure of knowledge. The learning process assumes, in this way, a fundamental creative-ideational dimension. Multimedia and interactivity have, in fact, reason to exist and meaning in the cortical structure and in the reticular human thought. The media ducation (and e-learning in particular) lies then in a scenario in which human relationships and communication at all levels are no arbitrary situations, assigned to…
Situated Language Learning Methods: a cross-sectional study on General Teaching and Language teaching
2018
Language teaching bases its theoretical and methodological framework on an axiom: object and teaching tool coincide in the target language. There follows that active learning is the key to efficacious linguistic knowledge as well as to transferable learning from a specific disciplinary context to a general one. This perspective is in tune with the educational claims and the learning aims fixed by the EAS teaching model, according to which learning is mediated by action and by the learner’s ability to simulate real life situations within classroom The present study means to start up an epistemological reflection moving from the comparison between language teaching and general teaching with r…
