Combine learning activities

How can we combine learning activities when we design eLearning? Most eLearning lessons today have organized as the classic tutorial so i think single learning activities are not enough for revolutionary learning.As we know, when we design elearning we should know what do we want to teach? will we teach difficult concept or procedure. For example , if i want to teach chemistry how to obtain approval from experts committee for a historic neighborhood, the first activity may ask learners to read the assignment for the lesson.it will be our first step for a complex activity. we may use video or MP3, we encourage learners to involve first.Second, the collaborative activity can use social networking site such as LinkedIn. learners can ask questions of an expert on the procedure of obtaining the necessary permits. Learners may get help in this activity.

Third Learners should simulate the meeting of the experts. the meeting should follow a cycle of activities, the first of which is analyzing the opinions of others.


Forth, learners may read materials and try to develop arguments to share their opinions to other students. they may also write responses to those opinions. students can get more discussion which would require more analysis and than starting another cycle of analysis, research, and communication.

Fifth, The next step is to create learning activities to provoke these planned learning experiences. For example, create in Microsoft PowerPoint and convert for web delivery using Adobe Breeze Presenter.

This process came from Horton. i am using his works to design my own projects.
