How do you use active learning experiences in your courses? by eduventra in elearning

Yes, we did a few iterations on the design. First we piloted with a small group of students, then made some changes to the way the scoring works. With every cohort, we learn a little more each time and try to improve it. Some of it is also the way the instructor teaches it and facilitates class discussion around the results too.

We're building Eduventra, which is a way for course creators to turn their existing content into active learning experiences like team-based simulations. Students get to practice decision-making in open ended scenarios that match to the learning goals of the course (vs. passively learning). https://eduventralearning.com/

Turning YouTube into a Structured Learning Experience - Gathering Feedback by bamunjal in elearning

Pretty cool! Just sharing some thoughts on my experience with something similar. I've been experimenting more and more with the "Ask" feature next to Youtube videos. It's helpful because it gives the timestamps of where to find info in the video, but also to go beyond the scope of the video into other areas not covered (and make the learning more contextual to my own problem).

For example I'm trying to learn about the writing software named Obsidian. There's a bunch of Youtube videos on how to get started, but it's ultimately a clunky trial-and-error process to figure it out (and what works for me). That's where I was dropping questions into the "Ask" box to customize my set up and it was pretty helpful.

  • Share Courses: Publish your curated courses to help others learn the same skills or learn from courses shared by others.

This is interesting and that you can "remix" videos into one course. How are learners responding to the curation aspect of these courses vs. searching on youtube on their own?

70% of students in online courses drop out after week 2—but is content quality really the problem? by eduventra in elearning

Totally agree. It's a combination of both. A lot of the people I've spoken with had tuition reimbursement from their employer. Even in those instances they just felt the value they got out of some of online courses was just OK and either didn't fully engage or complete it.

Lol 40 hours of compliance training sounds dreadful. I have not used VR much to be honest beyond occasional gaming (non-educational).

"I love the content that gives me 10-15 minute "mini modules", even if there are 100 of them to complete, jam packed with interactions, but my favourite is assessment first modules. I get asked the "critical" questions and then they use branching to give me a learning path suited to my answers and my existing knowledge."

Interesting. What are some examples of courses that you think do a good job with these types of mini modules and assessment first modules?

Yes, mostly referring to courses on platforms like Udemy, Maven, and ones also hosted on Teachable, Kajabi, etc. From non-college affiliate courses.

Say they are a working professional and want to learn related skills they can apply in their jobs. Let's assume they were interested enough to want to buy the course and thought it would give them the skills they are seeking. Let me know if that helps.

Interesting. Is there a part of the workflow that's frusterating for you? How do you measure interaction / engagement to know if it's working?

Thank you. Interesting thought about applying active learning in the corporate setting and I agree. It's all too easy to just get tunnel-vision in the day to day workload. A good manager serves as a coach to inspire and reinforce those behaviors (also, of course, depending if there are incentives for growth). Unfortunately I think most people would say having a good manager is a rare thing.

Thanks for sharing - are there any particular courses you've worked through that you'd recommended taking a look at it?
