QED527 ICT for Meaningful Learning

Five Dimensions of Meaningful Learning:

• 1. Engaging Prior Knowledge

  2. Collaborative Learning

  3. Self-Directed Learning

  4. Learning by Doing

  5. Real-World Contexts

ICT Tools can help to promote these dimensions:

• • Edmodo quizzes promote real-time feedback and offers the teacher a convenient means to gauge understanding

  • Crocodoc not only allows for easy annotation and multi-coloured highlighting of the poems, but also provides for real-time collaboration on the same document between group members, hence directly aiding collaborative learning.

  • Twiddla provides an accessible virtual playground upon which students can draw or write their responses to the poem, promoting learning by doing

  • Padlet permits students to offer their views simultaneously on the screen, with those who wish to share about personal online experiences able to do so at length, promoting collaboration and hence, contributing to meaningful learning
