The Teaching / Learning strategy can be used to design effective learning objects. The topic could be programming, cooking meals, skiing, languages, replacing bicycle tubes, drawing etc. TELECOL applies always the same approach, but the content is specific.
The instructions are followed on a tablet or smartphone, while the learner simultaneously translates the process into practice. The learning path consists of the phases
Teaching and Learning: Step by step instruction are mplemented immediately
Collaborative Learning: Group assignment
Learning by Teaching: Learners explain to their coach
Test: Evaluation of the theoretical mastery
The tutorial is always developed directly on a Google Sites web site. The individual instruction steps consist of videos, screen recordings, podcasts, written instructions etc. A coach moderates the final discussion.
The blended learning approach combines self-directed online learning sequences with cooperative learning phases (groups and individual discussions).
