E-Learning Framework

MY E-Learning Framework

In the design of my E-learning framework I have used a combination of Blooms Taxonomy and Engagement Theory. Blooms taxonomy is the building block to get the student from zero to hero, zero being no knowledge or understanding of the subject and hero being able to create new ideas in relation to the subject.

At each level of learning the student will relate, create and donate. Relate being with the student’s peers, community and the global world using the most effective ICT to further the learning. Create will involve the students creating their own learning paradigm and then donating the learning to the community.

In my E-learning framework huge emphasis will be given to the global community, at each level of learning attention should be given to collaborative learning in the global community though the use of effective ICT’s.

Though the method of students relating, creating and donating evaluation will take place. As an example students may be asked to design a brochure for a company needing to promote their business. Evaluation will take place by an actual company giving feedback on the brochure.

I believe that this framework will create students who process essential workplace skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem solving, collaboration of ideas in the global community and project management. The student will also already have proof from projects that they have implemented into the community of these abilities.
