Reflecting on learning
Self-learning usually takes place alone and independently of time. Synchronous support for learners in such phases is generally not possible. Phases of self-learning therefore place high demands on the design of virtual self-learning environments. These include, among other things:
- Transparency of requirements
- Self-explanatory work instructions
- Information on organizational and technical implementation
Course design to support self-learning
Use the page editor for the course to design the interface so that learners know exactly what information they can find, what learning activities are available, and what organizational constraints apply.
- With the so-called materials list/object block, you can freely determine the arrangement of your content.
- Tables allow you to create overviews of the process.
- Accordions allow content to be displayed successively.
- Folder structures allow you to bundle content.
ILIAS learning module as learning material
- Use the learning module to provide information on a page as text or video, link to more detailed information, and ask questions with automatic evaluation to check understanding.
- Integrate the learning module with other objects in the course, e.g., exercises or surveys.
- Link learning modules to glossaries so that terms can be explained in context.
- Use student feedback on your pages to further develop your learning module.
- Make the content available for download.
Self-Assessment
The Test object allows you to support self-learning by:
- Provide learners with regular and detailed feedback on their learning progress
- Create transparency regarding the requirements for summative assessment
- Receive feedback on the quality of your learning environment
Portfolio template
Reflecting on one's own learning progress is an essential part of the learning process. Portfolios enable learners to document this progress for themselves. Support your learners by creating a portfolio template in which you
- Write sample entries
- Set reflection tasks
- Provide information on relevant skills and indicators for their acquisitionn
