Our+Heuristics

Hi All, I am Nora Alshehri, i want to share with you my Draft Heuristic.

In the first EDGE 904 assignment I have developed four heuristic statements related to the transformative development of on-line e-learning. These tap into the enormous powers of this form of pedagogy now available which can be free of the time and geographical constraints that limit more traditional teacher focused classroom delivery. Nonetheless, there are some restrictions to this form of educational transmission and as such, the four heuristics created take into account some of its fallibilities. These are:

Heuristic 1

On line activities require authenticity if they are to stimulate and reflect learner's real experiences

Heuristic 2

On line learning activitied must be developed in a collaborative fashion

Heuristic 3

Students should participate in the course revision which mirrors their fundamental learning needs

Heuristic 4

There should be adequate preparation of students in order that they can cope with the new learning environment prior to commencement of studies

Hope these are satisfactory

Nora
