Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies MOOC’s Updates
Social Learning
Update 5
Social learning is a strategy that helps establish values peer to peer learning. I think it is a very effective method that helps learners to interact, exchange knowledge and then learn from each other. I think also social learning is linked to the learning by doing strategy, which is an educational approach that raises the cognitive and collaborative knowledge construction by supporting learners’ active participation and interaction.
In this vein, social learning or learning by doing is a paradigm that allows students to actively participate in a lifelike practical environment for understanding key principles. Such a paradigm is considered, as well as teaching by examples, to ground a ubiquitous auction learning system. I think that this strategy has been used to support ubiquitous learning outcomes. Since it brings collaborative problem solving, brainstorming, identification of sides and views and this could be done for example by mobile devices, tablets, or laptops etc. In this way, the combination of the use of technology in class and social learning or learning by doing will surely enhance students’ problem solving and better contribute to their learning outcomes.
