LEARNING DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

SYNCHRONOUS vs ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Many learning providers already use online tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams to deliver live synchronous learning, but what if you want to enable your students to learn asynchronously

Providing your students with asynchronous online learning enables them to be better prepared for their live learning sessions, enables opportunities to learn in their own time and at their own pace, collaborate with their peers and revisit the learning as many times as they need.

If you have an existing website or virtual learning environment I can work with you to develop interactive content for your platform.

If you are starting from nothing I can work with you to create a virtual learning site and content.

I have more than 20 years experience of working in Higher Education designing and developing learning that is engaging, meets the learning objectives and enhances your students experience. I use proven learning models such as ADDIE, Bloom’s Taxonomy and Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction.

EXAMPLES OF ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

VIDEO

Using prerecorded videos is a great way to prepare your students for face to face learning and allows them to be better prepared to ask questions.

Videos can also be developed to include interactions at key points of the content to help students better understand the content. 

Below is an example of an interactive video, it includes both multiple choice questions and fill in the blank questions.

Click the play button to try it out.

TESTS AND QUIZZES

Providing online tests and quizzes helps students to better understand key points on a topic and can promote active recall.

They can take many forms;  open answer, multiple choice, drag and drop, matching pairs, multiple answer and many more.

They can be summative or formative.

Below is an example of a short quiz. The quiz can be set to multiple or single attempts and you can monitor student progress if required.

FACILITATING COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

Help students work collaboratively by setting up Blogs, Wikis or Forums.

Working together helps students develop team skills but more importantly can facilitate peer learning.

Below is an example of Nearpod’s collaborative board. To try it out simply enter a name and click ‘Join Lesson’.

This type of board can be used both synchronously or asynchronously.

RESEARCH DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING RESEARCH WEBSITES

Presenting your study is perhaps as important as conducting it, because this is how most people will be able to understand your procedures, discuss results, offer feedback, and take your work a step further.

Presenting the work online in the form of a website enables a wider engagement with the research and help raise the profile of both the research project and the  researcher.

Websites can include additional interactivity and engagement in the form of virtual experiences, simulations, videos, podcast and facilitate user feedback.

A website means updates to the research can easily be published.

At Plantaurel I can help you tell the story of your research in a form that best meets your needs.

EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH PROJECTS

Art data health website

ART/DATA/HEALTH

The ART/DATA/HEALTH project commissions innovative artwork that translates obscure statistical data into stories, providing a unique new experience for audiences.
The website provides a platform to both promote the work of the project as well as provide a platform to support the community.

SPRINGTAILS

This website was developed to enable UK public to share collected data about wild animals visiting their gardens. The research project was a partnership between the University of Brighton academic Dawn Scott and BBC Springwatch team.
This is a good example of how a website can support the gathering and sharing of data during a research project.
