It is a strong argument as it shows that asynchronous learning encourages students to have better learning outcomes

It reminds me of the cognitive presence is the CoI model.

I consider this sentence is important because we think that just because it is something technological or concerning eLearning, it is beneficial. It is one of the biggest challenges right now as we have been covered and overwhelmed by so much information, technology, and digital learning materials. That's why I consider it fundamental to strategically think about appropriate materials based on principles that promote the learning outcomes we want.<br> https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/03/01/05/46/business-3189797_960_720.png

It does not only increase students' attention and engagement, but it also allows teacher to have a smooth communiction with students and it may not be a fact, but from my point of view, it reduces students' stress and anxiety. Do you think that the use of conversationa-style voice has more benefits?

It remind me of a conference I went to. I learned that for instance, when giving instructions to students, we should use a model call, KISS(Keep it simple).It is competely true that student perform better, follow beter instructions, and get better results when they are given pieces of information. Look at this KISS web development framework. It applies this KISS model to facilitate learning and make it easier. https://kissweb.org/

I would say that the main impact of multimedia is to engage students, allow them to learn in different ways, and avoid being monotonous.

I find very surprising to see this model with 24 pedagogical dimensions. Isn't it too many?

This answers one of my doubts about creating an online course. I consider that frameworks are very useful to give a path, coherence and focus to a course.

I was wondering about this last quote in terms of education. "While the nature of education remains largely unchanged the character behind it is defined by those who can most quickly and effectively adapt in response to new and disruptive technologies". It is something that calls my attention as we have experienced such a disruptive change in this pademic time. Most of our institutions have seen that strong necessity to adapt to new technologies and how these machines can work together with us to achieve the same(or at least similar) educational goals. What would have happened if this situation had occured some years ago?

Although it doesn't say replacing humans, it is unavoidable that there are certain jobs that will be performed by AI computers rather than humans. I consider that we are experiencing that right now and that's why it has implications on the way we see the world, the way we understand it, how we interact with it, and what we learn about it. Certainly, It has a great impact on education and language learning as well.

I didn't know this game called Jeopardy, so I decided to look it up and I found this video of how Watson won Jeopardy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P18EdAKuC1U
