Reflections on Session 2 of Learning Environments

I have learnt the following lessons:

Learning Environments

In addition to stand-up lectures, there exists other forms of Learning Environment that have been explored by Dr Quek, as follows:
1. Virtual Environment - e.g. Blogs
2. Semantics - e.g. Mindmapping
3. eLearning - e.g. Lesson box, on-line learning:facilitation discussion
4. Learning Community - e.g.Sharing of blogs and gmail files

Assessment Instruments

The scales involved in an assessment of Learning Environment (LE) can be categorised according to Moo's 3 schemes namely:
1. Relationship
2. Personal Development
3. System Maintenance and System Change

There are a total of 20 Instruments used for assessing the Learning Environment. Use of the relevant instrument will much depend on the age group and the type of scales required as classified according to Moo's 3 Schemes.

The maximum number of items per scale is also recommended for each instrument as indicated in the list. It is also highly recommeded to provide a 4-point or 5-point likert scale in a survey form.

Summary
I have learnt how learning environment is assessed using validated instruments taught during day 2.
