Use Technology to Enhance Learning

2.3 Use Technology to Enhance Learning

Integrating technology into instructional design plays a critical role in improving engagement, accessibility, and self-paced learning. By leveraging various digital tools, multimedia resources, and interactive elements, learners can develop their skills more effectively while enjoying a dynamic and personalized learning experience.

Final Project & Korean 201 Online Course

This project focuses on enhancing Korean language learning through the integration of learning management systems (LMS), multimedia content, and interactive instructional technologies. The goal is to provide learners with an engaging and structured experience that supports their listening, speaking, and grammar practice.

Technology-Enhanced Learning Strategiese

1. Learning Management System (LMS) – CANVAS
✅ Organized Course Structure
Content is delivered through CANVAS LMS, allowing learners to navigate seamlessly through modules.
Provides structured learning paths, ensuring a progressive skill-building approach.
Integrates automated grading, feedback mechanisms, and discussion forums to support learner engagement.
✅ Self-Paced & Adaptive Learning
Allows students to learn at their own pace, reviewing materials as needed.
Tracks learner progress and performance, offering personalized recommendations for improvement.

Multimedia & Interactive Elements

✅ MP3 Recordings for Listening & Pronunciation Practice
Professionally recorded Korean language audio clips to help learners develop listening comprehension.
Interactive exercises where learners can compare their pronunciation with native speakers.
✅ H5P Interactive Content for Grammar & Vocabulary Practice
Drag-and-drop exercises, fill-in-the-blanks, and flashcards for reinforcing grammar rules.
Adaptive quizzes that provide instant feedback and explanations to support active learning.
✅ Interactive Videos for Dialogue & Speaking Exercises
Integrated scenario-based interactive videos where learners practice real-life conversations.
Uses branching techniques, allowing students to choose different dialogue responses and receive contextual feedback.

Application of Learning Principles

This project applies research-backed instructional design principles to maximize retention and learner engagement.
✅ Segmenting Principle (Cognitive Load Theory)
Breaks down lessons into smaller, digestible sections to reduce cognitive overload.
Short, focused learning modules help learners process and retain information efficiently.
✅ Personalization Principle (Multimedia Learning Theory)
Uses conversational tone and relatable scenarios to create a more engaging learning environment.
Personalized feedback guides students toward correct language use and better comprehension.
