This was not easy for me. I was confused. Tuesday 13th, May was the time I should have had a relative precise idea atleast. Alas, for me. I looked at my work back at home. In distance education, the printed modules are quite big. Some 200 pages! How do I make that my project in a month? Yet, I am to do it when I get back home in Uganda. I could not make a decision on what to do. I had the English and Science modules with me as a starting point.
My expectations were therefore raised to how I can be helped to make our big modules into AVLM. This is my daily confrontation at my work place. How do I effectively Plan, Design, Develop and Implement the educational software(AVLM) that is supposed to help students study by themselves without a lecturer?. I s there any checklist on how one can decide which medium (audio, video, tutorials, simulations, educational games, World Wide Web ) to use to have maximum learning, retention and make the learning process enjoyable? How do you plan for all this? This is because, I will be confronted with situations where I have to assist the module writer make decisions on when to use the right media. How then do I make the software interactive enough to enhance learning, practice for retention and deeper understanding basing on the different theories of learning?
I hope by the end of the training, I will be good in most of the above.
