Some ideas from the article:
Tablet learning would promote learner-tutor interaction.
Tablet learning would advance personalized learning.
In the report:
"Samsung is piloting a program called “Smart School” at Lavington Primary School in Africa in which classrooms are equipped with Galaxy Tablets. So far, teachers have noted that the devices have made learning experiences more personalized and interactive."
I think all of those elements could go to a certain extent into one course. It depends on what the course objectives are, how much time and resources we have, and how many difficult concepts there are to convey. For example, introductory math and computer science courses need a lot of interactives and rich feedback. I know we've talked about triage--courses with very low enrolment won't get as many resources. I don't think a text-based infomation delivery course is ever a good option without any of the other elements.
I agree, Mary. I think those text-based information delivery courses are still existing.
After Mary's comments, I am thinking the "Integrated Model" maybe another one.
