    1. earning outcomes should be taken into considerations to properly connect online and offline learning and to create an environment that ensures achieving those outcomes

      I am concerned about the feedback that the teacher can give through a platform that intends to promote quantittive feedback. What about qualitative?

    2. “I was able to plan my time dedicated to learning. The only element to have in mind was the quizzes deadline, where I had three attempts without time limit, which was more than fair”

      Self-regulation and self-monitoring. The development of metacognitive awareness to become better.

    3. master level of study programs Information Systems and Software Engineering at University of Zagreb,

      It is relevant to make a study in young learners, especially because in the pandemic situation their technological skills highly increased.

    4. nowing that learning outcomes present statements of what the learner should know and understand at the end of a learning module, a blended learning model ought to take them into consideration, too

      It is important that not only the teacher should know those statements, but the student. Therefore, for the student will be easier to know the expectations.

    5. students in both blended and online courses were able to reach high levels of cognitive presence and learning outcomes

      I agree that learning outcomes do not only depend on the type of strategies, but also the teacher's role.

    6. teacher acceptance

      More than a half of teachers from my school quit during the pandemic year because they were overwhelmed with the continuous changes from one platform to other, interactions, and acceleration of learning.

    1. immediate responses from their peers and instructor

      This is something that it is difficult for the girls when they are in asynchronous because they pretend that I could give a quick feedback once they hand in the activity.

    1. develop learning experiences in a continual design-evaluation cycle that continues throughout the life of the project. This cycle, known as the spiral cycle or layered approach, is considered to be iterative, meaning that products are continually improved as they cycle continues”

      It involves a clear path of formative assessment

    2. ccelerated learning design strategies

      In a book from Learning Sciences International, Bowen (2020 mentioned the importance of stop believing that students need to fill gaps from a content to be able to understand the next one. She highlighted that accelerated learning design strategies enhance students to learn critical thinking skills without a need of logic topics. A clear example given in the article "of this strategy, where seventh grade students who missed an entire unit on Statistics and Probability are taught the specific concept of “measures of center such as mean” because in seventh grade that concept must be applied to “…draw inferences about a random sample” (p. 9). That type of “just in time” scaffold allows students to move forward with grade-level content while bridging the gap of unfinished learning.

    3. ’ve used this model extensively when working with professors to transition and adapt face-to-face courses to the online format

      What could be the main differences when applying this model of instructional design in face-to-face classes to virtual environments?

    4. if a student is preoccupied about technical aspects of the course due to ambiguous instructions, glitches, or cumbersome applications, the focus becomes not on learning, but on the technology—more barriers

      During the pandemic situation, many of my students were very frustated with the technology. They are very young to be successful in using many devices.

    5. When an online course is not well-designed, often the student doesn’t know where to start, is not sure where to find resources, how to interact, or how to learn

      In my opinion creating an online course is more difficult because it needs to have a clear path, and there should not have much modifications during the process. As it is happening in the regular classroom.

    1. earning. These design principles provide eLearning courseware and content variety—the ‘spice’ of learning—to make it

      I did a poster from an article that I searched. In there, you will find some important points that complement this article.

    2. This principle presents words and information in the form of audio narration, rather than on-screen text. Images are described as well so learners don’t risk experiencing cognitive overload, as they can instead focus on one element: the narration.

      By listening could be one of the paths to learn. However, accoding to the learning pyramid by Cody Blair (2000) when a student only learns by listening, the percentage that he/she will remember is just 5%.

    3. In fact, SafeSchools, for example, won a storytelling award, highlighting how effectively courses can deliver information by creating relatable scenarios with which your learners will empathize, thus fostering an emotional connection with the content.

      According to Rimm-Kaufman and Sandilos (2021 the bond between teachers and students need to be strong enough in order to create a better environment of teacing-learnig. Tone voice, empathy and emotional intelligence are some of the factors that they describe as keys for learners to learn.

    4. microlearning, a new technique being utilized in eLearning, breaks down course material into smaller, more digestible segments.

      At what extent microlearning can impact the students' learning when some goes faster than others?

    5. the second, more informal example is more relatable and, therefore, more engaging to the learner.

      I remember when I was in elementary, a teacher that explained to me the cycle of life through a real life story. I was completely engaged that I still remember her anecdote as it was yesterday.

    6. Similar to the Redundancy Principle, this also adopts a less-is-more approach. Irrelevant, extraneous or inapplicable information is eliminated, including audio, visuals, and words, to avoid distraction an

      In my opinion, the students from today have been overstimulating to learn ealier without taking into consideration each maturative stage of the learner. I think that this is happening not only in schools for the parents' pressure, but also because the society where we live nowadays is full of consumism with many advertisements. Hence, people tend to buy more and discard faster.

    7. 3-D modeling and animation, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality

      In nearpod, a platform to create classes, you can have virtual tours, 3D-modelling of the body, simulations of science. It is a great tool for your classes in order to involve the first principle.

    8. adjusted and customized to create the most impactful learning experience.

      The students' needs can be individualized easily. This process allows the teachers to have a more precise progress of each learner. Moreover, it is easier to achieve this differential aspect that every school is trying to obtain right away.

    9. And with technology, eLearning is ever-changing and evolving to meet lifelong learners exactly where they are and provide them with exactly what they need, exactly when they need it.

      This allowed people to be more immediate in every aspect of their life. Bauman (1999) had described the society as insactisfactory because they want more and more. With the need to be fullfilled as fast as possible.

    1. And machines do, in fact, make mistakes—just like humans. Which is why the future of data analytics isn’t man or machine; it’s man and machine. The question facing the defense and intelligence communities now is when and how the two can work together most effectively.

    2. lower maintenance costs

      The use of technology for military objectives is one of the advantages I could observe because the risk of people in the war field is dangerous. What about the easy way to manipulate information once someone can hack one of those systems?

    3. re-

      The advantages shown in the article are fascinating because it brings new challenges and skills that education should focus on. However, it is scary because AI is growing triple more than education. That means that we as teachers should prepare children to an uncertain world with unknown jobs.

    4. conclusions

      It is very impressive the capacity of the human beings to develop this time of intelligence. Although, How is it possible to find the limits of a human invention when we are incapable of knowing our own limits? In my opinion, AI is a motive to design better human beings that can over-reach our abilities, but How can we stop it?

    5. computer

      According to Mydske (2020) Artificial intelligence has been developed to simulate, and precede human movements and thinkings. He believes it is a great opportunity for sustainability. Whereas, my opinion is to be cautious due to this type of intelligence that somehow it might go beyond what it is made of since the beginning.
