Right?
One of the big mistakes people make with creating learning platforms is to make their materials too static, and closed in; you have to be able to connect with each participant so they feel involved and valued, their progress matters to you.
We see all kinds of self promotion and attempts to make oneself exclusive, your student is the true focus, not you!
We can convey this value through offering plenty of interactive, and meaningful milestones for people to receive assurances that they are making genuine progress.
What does this look like?
1.Personalised communications
2. Quizzes that are well thought out
3. Live streaming sessions with Q&A.
I tend to work with small groups and individuals, rather than corporate entities, I find that the more interesting learning experiences are those being offered by non-generic sources; there are plenty of ‘vanilla’ education projects out there, and they all tend to look and feel similar!
This tendency to emulate and copy the corporate ‘stock’ approach is very damaging to learning, people get fed up and disillusioned with online learning because people are not being genuine about it, rather they are too worried about seeming ‘credible’ and so they opt for the glossy, standardized approach.
This part of Webstruct is one that I am developing from my own creative vision for learning, I have also experienced the ennui and hollow feelings that generic education experiences tend to produce; we can do better, and it is up to inspired and creative individuals to deliver their own brand of education, we know how it all looks and feels from our own education experiences: with the web we have the profound opportunity to reinvent how we teach – why would we simply repeat the same old dreary formulas?
If you are wondering, pondering, dreaming, considering presenting your version of teaching/learning I can help you with the practical, technical and aesthetic requirements. Give me a ‘hoy’ and let’s discuss it.
