[Xerte] Re: FW: Student Generated Content

[Brane Šmitek]

You are correct. The hardest part of the job is to create the structure of
e-learning materials, preparing text and multimedia content.

If we want to do well e-learning material we should know a lot of about
theme we studied.

If students prepare e-learning material on the topic they currently studying
the knowledge is greater than if they just read the ready material -
learning by doing.

We found it effective outside of multimedia courses, where you might expect
some exposure to authoring tools: in modern languages we found that getting
students to create exercises encouraged critical thinking (about the key
points, the things they found hard) and collaboration and problem solving,
all good stuff, which made the learning more effective than if they had
simply taken some materials. The old adage: you learn a lot when you teach.

Personally I involved students in the production of e-learning materials at
the subject Multimedia systems.

They produced E-learning materials under my supervision. The focus of work
is not on the content of materials, 

but on the manufacturing techniques and the use of multimedia elements in
the production. 

In the current academic year I planned to use XOT as a tool for producing
e-learning materials.

Currently I trying to provide server and software required for the job. Work
with students will begin in January 2013.

I've long been a proponent of getting students to create their own content:
I know some of you are too. Has anyone got any hard evidence to back up a
claim that this can positively impact students learning? I have seen hard
evidence before from at least two sources, one study undertaken here at
Nottingham (in Modern Languages), but I can't remember where I saw the other
one - was it someone here?

 

Thanks,

 

Julian
