COMP6032 Class 07.1

We looked at different strategies for content sequencing.

I gave students a like of content from their first year architecture and hardware modules and asked them to sequence them.

COMP6032 Lab 06 B

Students worked on the Photoshop training exercise

COMP6032 Class 06.2

We reviewed the lessons of the procedural analysis exercise in the last class.

We discussed interviews with SMEs, but for the bulk of the class addressed writing learning objectives.  In particular we addressed the three domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.

COMP6032 Lab 06 A

Students continued working on the Photoshop training assignment due this week.

COMP6032 Lab 05 A

Students continued work on the Photoshop training exercise.

I sent around an e-mail with the submission details.

COMP6032 Class 05.1

There were very few students in class.

We looked a goal analysis and learner characteristics.

COMP6032 Lab 04B

I introduced students to Audacity and gave them a sample audio file to mess around with. We looked at how to do noise reduction. However there was a problem with the audio settings on the machine in the lab.  Hopefully that will be sorted soon.

COMP6032 Class 04.2

[Only 3 students came to class]

We looked at the ADDIE framework for instructional design.

We began our look at the analysis phase and and discussed needs analysis.

We will continue in the next class with goal analysis.

COMP6032 Lab 04 A

I introduced students to Audacity and gave them a sample audio file to mess around with. We looked at how to do noise reduction.

COMP6032 Class 04.1

I postponed the exam that was scheduled for today. Nobody seemed to mind. I'll get back you all about that.

I gave a presentation on how to give a presentation. All very meta.

COMP6032 Lab 03 B

Nobody turned up so I went away. I guess last night was a party night.

update: I felt a bit guilty so I went back to check. A few students had turned up in the meantime. They worked on the PhotoShop Tools training exercise.

COMP6032 Class 03.2

We looked at Gardner's multiple intelligences and Bloom's taxonomy and discussed the implications for trainers and learners.

COMP6032 Lab 03 A

Students continued working on the PhotoShop project.

COMp6032 Class 03.1

We looked some more at cognitivism and then discussed constructivist views of learning. That concludes the learning theory part of the module. Upcoming classes will be less theoretical.

COMP6032 Lab 02B

I showed students how to increase the size of an image of an icon without having it get too blurry by using the correct interpolation setting in Photoshop. It's a pity we didn't discover that trick sooner.

Students continued with the Photoshop tools presentation exercise.

COMP6032 Class 02.2

We began looking at cognitivism.

We watched the Basketball video.

COMP6032 Lab 02A

I showed students how to increase the size of an image of an icon without having it get too blurry by using the correct interpolation setting in Photoshop.

Students continued with the Photoshop tools presentation exercise.

Some students who missed las week's lab had a bit of catching up to do.

COM6032 Class 02.1

We continued our look at behaviourist theories of learning. That took longer than I thought.

We will move on to cognitivism in the next class.

COMP6032 Lab 01.B

I introduced students to Photoshop.

I asked students to get to grips with layers and how they work.

We looked at how to do a screen capture. I asked students to begin work on a PowerPoint presentation that explains what each of the Tools in the Photoshop Tools Palette does.

COMP6032 Class 01.2

We looked at Behavourism (Pavlov & Skinner mostly)

We watched a video about rats.
