Well, it looks like the module is in its evening. E-learning has been quite adventurous and interesting thus far. On my part, it will not be possible to do full implementation and Evaluation within the module schedule, but as I have institutional support, I will carry on with the project even after the module has concluded. Am now focusing on my implementation and evaluation plan which will be operationalised later on. From some of the resources JP put up on Webstudies that I have gone through, I concluded that implementation may be guided by three sub-phases:
1. Training instructors: These may be teachers, community health preceptors etc, but they must be trained on how to operationalize and use the e-learning intervention we have created.
2. Preparing learners: Learners could be students or people in the community. These need to be prepared if the intervention is to be received well. For example if students do not know even how to switch on a computer, some of these e-learning projects may not take off. Prior learner preparation is necessary.
3. Preparing the learning space/environment: This is the space where the e-learning intervention will take place. Is there adequate internet, are there computers etc. These are some of the questions to ask.
Cheers!

thank you for the feedback. it was really helpful. i like the way u have simplied the implementation. i was wondering maybe we should start with this phase first to help us be more realistic in the designing phase. we have support at our institution by often it is down so i have added an alternate if the systm fails me
ReplyDeleteI really like the way that real engagement with a real project is happening here. In a sense one cannot go too "wrong" when you think something through beforehand.
ReplyDeleteAbout ALIEN's remark - one can (maybe even should) do that. ADDIE is not necessarily a linear model, but aspects that all need to "dance together". Sometimes the implementation will indeed guide you differently. One could also argue though that part of analysis will be to also analysing your context and infrastructure (so that one can then be ready in he design phase to prepare correctly for implementation.
Well done, now for the assignment.
