Learning Theory and Online Learning Environment


    I have created an online learning environment based on 4 learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism. According to the aspects of knowledge, tasks, and learning contexts, different learning theories are applied to tasks and activities. For example, when students learn English words, behaviorism is mainly applied to designing the content. In case that students learn American culture, they will be asked to reflect on their own native cultures. In this context, I am making students use their existing knowledge to understand the new knowledge. Students who learn in the online learning environment will be also asked to complete real-life tasks such as using public transportation and ordering sandwiches. In this context the students construct their own experience to learn new culture and knowledge. Finally, students will communicate with people around world using Voicethread and realize they can learn in connected world.
Words learning based on behaviorism

Speaking activity based on Cognitivism

Activity based on contructivism
