Assessment

[|JISC Website - Why Focus on the Pedagogy?] (Description of Associative, Constructive and Situative theories) Mayes and de Freitas suggest that aligning theory, pedagogical approach, learning outcomes, teaching methods and assessment provides the best chance of achieving effective learning experiences for students [|[10]]. Building on this work, Fowler and Mayes propose a mapping matrix which links the associative, cognitive, and situative perspectives with implied pedagogies, teacher and learner roles, learning tasks and learning activities. The idea is that the practitioner could use the matrix as a planning tool where teachers could be guided from the theoretical approach through the associated pedagogies to detailed plans about delivering a particular teaching session [|[11]]. A useful planning tool for practitioners based on the mapping matrix and the learning activity design model is available in the Effective Practice with e-Learning Guide [|[7]].

[|Review of e-learning theories,frameworks and models]4 Terry Mayes & Sara de Freitas This review is designed to inform practitioners, policy developers and other stakeholders who want to reflect more deeply upon their practice or gain a greater understanding about how theory and practice can be mapped together. This review reveals the pedagogic and pragmatic assumptions underlying a range of approaches to e-learning, classified into three broad areas. Proposes a principle of constructive alignment to ensure practice models are based on relevant theoretical frameworks.
