Like face-to-face instruction, online learning environments require FOUR key factors for effective and meaningful learning to happen. What are they?
Elements of Effective Learning Environments (Attributes of Learning) – According to Anderson(2003), there are four elements that must be considered for any effective learning environment – whether face-to-face, mixed-mode, or online. These elements are:
- Learner-centred (meeting the needs of all forms of student-support such as the needs of teachers, institutions, and society)…
- Knowledge-centred (providing opportunities for students to explore knowledge resources)…
- Community-centred (promoting the creation of new knowledge through collaboration in communities of learners and communities of inquiry)…
- Assessment-centred (providing opportunities for the assessment of students’ learning by involving the teacher, peers, self and other knowledge experts)…
