Checklist on integration of new media into study
“How do I integrate learning with new media into studying and working activities?” The following checklist (adapted from Reinmann-Rothmeier, 2000, p. 102)will be helpful when answering this question:
- I use new media to present sample activities and model solutions for upcoming problem situations.
- I provide the students with new media which promote and support self-directed learning.
- I encourage the students to self-directed learning in their studies (and at the workplace) with and without new media, and I offer my help and advice in this respect.
- I provide the students with access to data networks and appropriate software to promote and support cooperative learning.
- I encourage the students towards cooperative learning in their studies (and at the workplace) with and without new media, and ensure the necessary conditions are in place.
- I offer the students experts as “models” to clarify the activities and inner thought processes required.
The authors
suggest developing,
for example, a questionnaire or an interview guide based on this checklist to
survey media experts, teachers or students about these aspects. A document
analysis or an observation of learning activities can also be conducted on
these issues.
