On Line Learning
Now that we know where are strengths and weakness lie………
We need to learn some thing about where we are, “on line”

The Modern Learning Dilemma
A Carnegie Mellon University Study stated in 2006 employees would need to retain 6-10% of the knowledge required to do their jobs.
http://www.xyleme.com/podcasts/archives/7
The Modern Learning Dilemma
This means that 90% or more of the required information must be available to the worker/learner at any time.
How is this possible?
http://www.xyleme.com/podcasts/archives/7
Gottfredson’s Solutions Along with his colleague, Robert
Mosher, he suggests that 90% of learning should be available on line and
That all online learning would be self directed (taking the learning out of the classroom).
We don’t all learn the same!

Applying Theories
The obvious question that comes to mind is: How do these theories apply to us?
How do these theories apply to us?
As Online Learning is rapidly becoming the new style of learning, our group wondered… Which learning style would succeed? Which learning style would struggle? What can be done to help those who will
struggle? Can we blend the theories to suit our
needs?
Our Findings!
When learning for the first time: Overall, this method of learning was
distracting and frustrating! We found we kept searching where to look
for help. There was a need to go back over the
material several times in a step-by-step basis.
At times it seemed more of “How to use the Web self study course” as opposed to an Online “Adult Learning Course”.
Our Findings!
When learning more: Videos provided on this site were okay
but; The group found it frustrating having to go
back and forth between applying the information on the actual site, and having to view the video for a second or third time in order to fully understand what was being explained.
Our Findings!
When remembering or applying: The method of delivery for basic
information was satisfactory, however; Most would have prefer someone showing
them the more complicated applications. Again, this became very frustrating when
you had to flip back and forth between instructions and material
Our Findings!
When things go wrong: Most agreed there was a need to
continuously return to instructions to determine what was required to get back on track.
Some felt help was lacking, as they were accustomed to a help desk or colleagues to assist when things do not work out.
Group 4 findings!
When things change: No changes have occurred, however; The consensus is that if changes
occurred on this site, we would need to relearn everything again and/or seek help from others.
Some also acknowledged it might cause them serious problems.
Blending Theories
Our group also looked at blending Multiple Intelligence Theory with Multiple Intelligence Theory with Moments of Learning Needs Theory.Moments of Learning Needs Theory.
Specifically, which form of Specifically, which form of intelligence applied to which learning intelligence applied to which learning moment would succeed or be a moment would succeed or be a struggle.struggle.
Our conclusions…………………… Our conclusions……………………
MI matched to moments of learning
1. When Learning for the first time Succeed: Visual, Logical Struggle: Interpersonal, Musical
2. When Learning More Succeed: Intrapersonal, Linguistic Struggle: Interpersonal, Musical
MI matched to moments of learning
3. When Remembering or Applying Succeed: Visual, Logical, Intrapersonal Struggle: Interpersonal, Musical, Bodily
4. When Things go Wrong Succeed: Visual, Logical Struggle: Interpersonal, Musical, Naturalistic
5. When Things Change Succeed: Logical, Visual Struggle: Interpersonal, Musical, Naturalistic
How to lessen the Struggle!
Certain types intelligence tend to have more of a struggle with Online learning, what can be done to lessen this struggle…
Solutions for Struggling MI’s INTERPERSONAL: People with this intelligence like to
communicate and work with other people. Ways to have them be more successful in on-
line learning: Use of chat rooms, Email between learners, Wiki sites, discussion sites use of simulations involving two or more people
Based on our Group’s MI Chart, 3/6 in our group had this as in their fifth or lower intelligence.
Solutions for Struggling MI’s MUSICAL: These people would struggle through the
whole process. They think in musical terms, can distinguish between sounds, and like to create music. Ways to have them be more successful in on-line
learning: Wave files with music Having a presentation that requires the recording of
sound. Based on our Group’s MI Chart, 3/6 in our
group had this as their fifth or lower intelligence
Solutions for Struggling MI’s
NATURALISTIC: likes to be in touch with their natural surroundings. Would struggle in two areas:
1. When thing go wrong 2. When things change
Ways to have them be more successful in on-line learning: Use real images of the world for comparison studies Put pictures of the natural world on the site to keep the
learner interested. Based on our Groups MI Chart, 4/6 in our group
has this as their sixth or lower intelligence.
Solutions for Struggling MI’s
BODILY: This intelligence likes to use their body or parts of
their body to solve a problem or create something. With the tactile element to on line learning these
people may due well. Where they would struggle would be in the
remembering stage. Ways to have them be more successful in on-line
learning: use a mouse, keyboard or touch window technology.
Based on our Group MI Chart 4/6 in our group has this as their seventh or lower intelligence.
Who would Succeed? The MI’s that we felt would have the
greatest probability of success in Online learning are: INTRAPERSONAL LINGUISTIC VISUAL LOGICAL
For each Moment we only included the top two or three most likely to succeed,
So all of these intelligences might be successful at any of the 5 Moments.
Thank you for your time.
