A Virtual Learning Guide: Technologies and Learning
Paper Abstract:In 1998, developmental work and research began on provision of web-based virtual learning materials at Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale. Two events (first - the decision to provide printed learning guides, and second - the arrival of the Information Technology, Systems and Multimedia Discipline Leader) acted as catalytic agents for development of these virtual learning materials and consequent, action research for the case under study.The virtual learning materials research project required grounding in at least one of the instructional theories. The research to date indicates that it is important to be as comprehensive as possible in terms of instructional strategies, in particular gaining the learners attention, presenting of objectives and stimulating recall of knowledge both learned and previously acquired. Petry et al (Petry, Mouton and Reigeluth, 1987) has in part provided a synopsis of selected theories and models of instructional theory that are drawn upon at this time. However, instructional strategies only form one facet of the formative questions. The second is learner motivation. Here, the research draws upon the work of Keller et al who has explicitly addressed the use of motivational strategies, (cf Keller and Kopp, 1987;).This paper is constituted as a series of questions emanating from a reflective action research approach to the operation of, or socialisation of, individuals and groups acting as agents within an Australian regional university campus setting. The campus setting in essence provides boundaries, or constrains certain variables, within which to observe actors. For example the campus would be considered small with only 1500 - 1800 students and staffing of about 30 academics for some twelve discipline areas.Significant to the researcher/author, in the present research, is the investigation and implementation of learner-centric computer-mediated online studies and also the reflexive monitoring of op
