- 5. Goals of Vocational Education • To prepare for gainful employment • Must be close to real world • Instructor must b successful practitioner be f l ii • Curriculum must reflect content of occupation • Create skill set and attitudes needed to succeed in a particular field p
- 6. Change in “Teacher’s” Role Teacher s • Due to focus of individual, social objectives individual and furthering of technical field, teacher is partner with learner • Teacher is helper, facilitator, guide, encourager • S d Student i not object of teaching, b f is bj f hi but focus off learning
- 7. Learning Ecology What d l h do learners need to l d learn? • Content – text videos interactive activities, text, videos, activities animations, etc. • Forums to connect with learners (i e replicate (i.e. real life in career) • M Mentorship – apprentice, i hi i instructor/chef / h f • Access – education outside of a physical location • Flexibility – education that accounts for life y
- 8. Reducing Irrelevant Learning • Technical students have varying background and skills • ALL are at different points • Education needs to permit entry and access based on skill/experience • Requires complete system change, but the process can be mimicked online – i.e. student controls pace
- 9. Stages of Knowing • Linking – association between concepts/knowledge • Reproducing – copying something as taught • Interpreting – using existing knowledge to recognize needs and guide actions/decisions in new situation • Applying – applying existing knowledge/skills to solve new problems
- 10. How Can Technology Meet Vocational Education Goals? • Technology as a supplement not replacement supplement, • Tech improves access & flexibility • Tech can communicate skills & theories h i kill h i • Tech – better “quality” assurance • F2F needed to develop social/industry awareness
- 11. Elearning Overview • History • Drivers • Why i i changing l h is it h i learning? i ? • How is it changing learning? • Scope and size
- 12. Combining Technology & Classroom • Blended • Saves instruction time • Increases llearning efficiency i ffi i • Anxiety and intimidation in regular classroom minimized • Practice to proficiency p y • Variable learning rates
- 13. Tools & Technologies • Streaming • Video • Audio – audio blogging pronunciation VoIP blogging, pronunciation, • Internet – LMS, blogging, “simple starts”, email, discussions • Software – development, delivery, collaborate • Simulations
- 14. Examples • Dining Room Skills • Culinary Arts • Menu • Online Course
- 15. Our Experiences • Culinary Arts • Hotel and Restaurant Administration • Teaching right way upfront hi i h f • Unlimited repetitive feedback
- 16. Results • Success indicators – no quantitative data yet • Initial anecdotal feedback – B tt learning Better l i – Marks same as with traditional classes • Instructor Observations • Student Feedback
- 17. Student Experiences • Student comments – Engaging – Fun way to learn – “I can learn when I want” ‐ Flexibility – “I’ in control” “I’m i t l” – No instructor physically present – disorienting to some students
- 18. Implications • Technology as a tool • Elearning meets needs of technical education – access flexibility, quality access, flexibility • Theory, skills, relationships, mentorship – can all b taught/enhanced via elearning ll be h/ h d i l i
- 19. What is still needed • Administration support • Model for elearning development – skill based industry (plumbing etc ) etc.) • Tech advances – ability to stream confidently • Training instructors how to develop and use technology in teaching
- 20. Conclusions • Change drivers are significant • New student/industry needs require new approaches • Continued vocational e‐learning can: – Expand the field – Improve education – Result in higher student satisfaction – Greater organizational quality control
