- 7. What does a course look like?
- 8. How are courses structured?
- 9. What are the main menus? 1) Catalog • All courses can be accessed here • Introduction courses: what is SRL? How to support it? ... • Main courses: SRL strategies ordered by when they are used – before learning – during learning – after learning • Contextual courses: role of your beliefs, school and policy context
- 10. What are the main menus? 2) Themes and Wish List • Not sure what course to follow first? • Pick a theme and the app recommends a course based on: – how you assessed your beliefs, knowledge and confidence to teach SRL – how you feel at the moment • Use the wishlist to save courses you want to follow at a later point in time
- 12. What are the main menus? 3) Dashboard • Progress dashboard: – Monitor how your beliefs, knowledge and confidence to teach SRL change while completing courses • Diary dashboard: – Record how you are supporting SRL in your classroom
- 15. What are the main menus? 4) Activity • Records all your activities (courses opened/finished and diary entries) – (re)open courses – find a summary of the course – consult pages you saved – find the answers you gave in the course – re-assess your beliefs, knowledge and confidence related to that course – further strengthen your skills by using the self-reflection questions
- 17. What are the principles behind the app? • Personalisation • Collaboration • Experimentation • Self-reflection • Teacher self-regulation • Multistakeholder approach
- 18. Personalisation “One size does not fit all” • Eevery learner is unique. Personalisation is a must! How? – Offering increased flexibility in learning (choose which and how many courses you follow, decide yourself on the order, place, time, and pace of learning) – Offering tools that help you take most out of your learning depending on your SRL beliefs, knowledge and confidence. (e.g. dashboard, themes-menu)
- 19. “Alone we are smart, together we are brilliant.” (S. Anderson) • It is not just you and your mobile device. It is about a community. • The app encourages you to share your experiences with others. You’ll have the chance to connect to them on Facebook, and to meet some of them in person. Collaboration
- 20. “No one ever learned to play the piano without exercising.” (Edel Maex) • That’s why the app invites you to actually try out some things in your classroom. • Simply reading the courses most likely won’t lead to actual changes in your classroom practice. • Self-reflection is crucial Experimentation and self-reflection
- 21. “Practice what you preach” • When we want our students to self-regulate, we may as well start with ourselves. Be ready to use your own self-regulation skills ;-). We’ll walk our talk! Teacher self-regulation
- 22. • In order to support your self-reflection, and to personalise your learning, the app collects some information about your learning – example: your beliefs, knowledge and confidence to teach SRL with your own students • This information is available also to: – Teacher educators (if you invite them) – Policy makers (but only anonymized!) Multi-stakeholder approach
- 23. Multi-stakeholder approach • Why? – Teacher educators can use the information to personalise their support to your specific needs and interests – Policy makers can use the information to adapt their policy support to the needs of specific groups of teachers (e.g. novices) or schools.
