Organizing a Learning
Context
CO-LEARNING
Co-Learning (p137), it also calls “Collaborative learning” is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Usually, students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product.
This approach actively engages learners to process and synthesize information and concepts, rather than using rote memorization of facts and figures. Learners work with each other on projects, where they must collaborate as a group to understand the concepts being presented to them.
Through defending their positions, reframing ideas, listening to other viewpoints and articulating their points, learners will gain a more complete understanding as a group than they could as individuals.
Team / Peer like
Those who did have a “team” or who knew one another from previous experiences, felt more peer-like in those relationships. Several remarked that they learned less from other individual partic-
ipants and more from “the collective” or “from everyone” (p141)
The term ‘peer learning / like’, remains abstract. The sense in which we use it here suggests a two-way, reciprocal learning activity. Peer learning should be mutually beneficial and involve the sharing of knowledge, ideas and experience between the participants. It can be described as a way of moving beyond independent to interdependent or mutual learning (Boud, 1988).
Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers. They develop skills in organizing and planning learning activities, working collaboratively with others, giving and receiving feedback and evaluating their own learning. Peer learning is becoming an increasingly important part of many courses, and it is being used in a variety of contexts and disciplines in many countries.
Digital libraries are structured
Although the purpose of a digital library is similar to a traditional one, they are fundamentally different in nature and there are things a digital library can do that a physical one cannot hope to match. Here is an overview of the advantages of choosing a digital library over a collection of physical objects:
1/Sharing knowledge anywhere, anytime, with any number of people
2/Greater ease of storage and preservation
3/New ways to search and study
What is the structure of a digital library tube, the external structure or the internal structure, I am confused.
Adaptive Learning
Students can offer their experience and knowledge, and they experience each other’s rhythms and learning structures.
Adaptive learning allows the course material to be customized to the learner, which creates a unique experience not available in traditional classes.
Technology-based adaptive learning systems or e-learning systems can provide students with immediate assistance, resources specific to their learning needs, and relevant feedback that students may need.
