(Prompt)Inclusive Design

In interactive learning, communication and sharing are the most important factors. In order to ensure that the needs of all learners are met, group discussions and joint projects are very important. Interactive Learning is a pedagogical approach that incorporates social networking and urban computing into course design and delivery. Interactive Learning has evolved out of the hyper-growth in the use of digital technology and virtual communication, particularly by students.

There are 5 ways to make interactive learning. Firstly, asking for feedback, any opportunity for the learner to leave feedback is a great opportunity for interaction. How we respond to feedback can also have other advantages in simplifying the process and making it more relevant. Secondly, letting people choose the way, give learners the choice to choose the starting point of the topic and unit so that they can immediately select relevant content, and participate in the plan. Students can be guided in the learning process through suggestions or some compulsory courses, but letting them choose the order of learning topics can enhance learners’ ability and participation. Thirdly, make it social, Social functions such as sharing and commenting on content are part of the way most of us are accustomed to communicating. Combined with gamification, this makes any course more interactive. It is also very interesting for learners. Fourthly, invite learners to contribute, letting learners contribute their knowledge by providing resources, or hosting online group learning sessions is another way to empower them. Finally, encourage peer evaluation, enabling learners to review each other’s work, which deepens their understanding of what they are doing, and encourages a culture of sharing, which is valuable for spreading best practices.

Now we are in a difficult time for COVID-19. The network is a very important factor that allows us to learn interactively. Engaging learners in your online learning program is the key to ensuring they learn effectively and get the most out of what they are doing. the most effective way to make learners more engaged in what they are doing is to make it interactive.
