= Example Activity Sequences = ''** Page Name = ExpExamples **'' [[PageOutline]] The following example sequences, case studies, reports etc. illustrate the use of different activities and tools, as well as models of learning and learning outcomes. Some are embedded in Phoebe; others are stored in other online repositories or collections of resources. [wiki:ExpExamples#ExampleActivitySequences Top of page] | [wiki:ExpStructure Sandpit page] ---- == Introduction to modelling == '''Sector:''' HE (postgraduate)[[BR]] '''Subject area:''' Social science, although suitable also for zoology, economics and other complex systems.[[BR]] '''Summary:''' This sequence introduces students to the principle of building computer models and games. It includes a strong collaborative element, as students are invited to share their ideas and the models they produce (even though they actually create their models individually). '''The sequence illustrates:''' * Activities: [wiki:ExpActGen#Modelling Modelling], [wiki:ExpActGen#Analysinginformation Analysing information] * Tools and technologies: [wiki:ExpActGen#Modelling Modelling tools] ''** Currently links to activity **'' * Learning outcomes: [wiki:ExpCurricLOs Develop concepts] * Model(s) of learning: [wiki:ExpModels#ConstructivistLearningModels Constructivist Learning Models], [wiki:ExpModels#ResearchBasedLearning Research-Based Learning], [wiki:ExpModels#CollaborativeLearning Collaborative Learning] '''The sequence in detail:'''[[BR]] ''** This is where we will get into problems of linking and representation!

It encourages them to collaborate in reasoning and problem-solving tasks. '''The example illustrates:''' * Activities: [wiki:ExpActGen#Problemsolving Problem solving], [wiki:ExpActGen#Discussingdebating Discussing] * Tools and technologies: [wiki:ExpTools#Wikis wikis] * Learning outcomes: [wiki:ExpCurricLOs Develop concepts] * Model(s) of learning: [wiki:ExpModels#ExpModels#ProblemBasedLearning Problem-Based Learning] '''The example in detail:'''[[BR]] Students work in small teams to research their answers to the tutor’s questions. e.g. “Post a para saying I’ve been looking into this aspect of the question and I’ve used this resource and this website, and from that I deduce that part of the answer is such-and-such, and then another student comes in and says well I’m not sure about that because I’ve found this Website which says something slightly different, and they edit their response collectively, which turns out to be more efficient than using a discussion, because you’re working directly on the text, the answer itself rather than a whole series of discussion postings.

'''The example illustrates:''' * Activities: [wiki:ExpActGen#Writing Writing] * Tools and technologies: [wiki:ExpTools#Wikis wikis] * Learning outcomes: [wiki:ExpCurricLOs Acquire knowledge], [wiki:ExpCurricLOs Develop Conceptions] * Model(s) of learning: [wiki:ExpModels#ExpModels#ConstructivistLearningModels Constructivist Learning Models] '''The example in detail:'''[[BR]] You can read about this example in a report.''** Link to paper describing it -- should be in the JISC Online Conference e-book. **'' [wiki:ExpExamples#ExampleActivitySequences Top of page] | [wiki:ExpStructure Sandpit page] ---- == Using a wiki to develop research skills == '''Sector:''' FE [[BR]] '''Subject area:''' General research skills for online learning[[BR]] '''Summary:''' The example is intended to help students on an access course reach a shared understanding about a particular topic and to improve their research skills.
