I've been experimenting with the voice tools available in Blackboard and have decided to incorporate an activity where students can record some reflective thoughts on 2 e-learning examples I have provided. The examples both deal with the same subject matter (How to Dissect a Frog... YEWW!), but they each use a different approach.
By asking the students to reflect and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each approach verbally I am going for a dialogic approach to the learning (ala Freire and Vella) and this will also make the activity more interesting. Responses are limited to maximum 3 minutes.
Two observations to make later:
- Will they say a lot or a little? How spontaneous or rehearsed are the responses?
- Their recordings will be available for the entire class to listen to -- will this hinder or enhance the process?
