Learning Theory Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally
attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. He suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences.
Assimilation occurs when individuals' experiences are aligned with their internal representation of the world. They assimilate the new experience into an already existing framework.
Accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences. Accommodation can be understood as the mechanism by which we learn by “trial and error.”
Multiple Intelligences
Visual/Spatial Intelligence (see) Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence (talk about) Logical/Mathematical Intelligence
(organize) Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence (hands-on) Musical/Rhythmic Intelligence (hear) Interpersonal Intelligence (share) Intrapersonal Intelligence (reflect)
BackgroundWhat do students need? What experiences do you have using computers; for
work, for school, for enjoyment? What type of computer do you have at home, what
operating system, what type of Internet service do you have?
What software programs do you use regularly. How do you feel about computers, personally and
for learning and teaching, and why? Basically, tell me about yourself in relation to your
technology knowledge, skills and experiences. Something you think would be helpful for the instructor in class about educational technology.

Electronic Portfolios
Electronic Portfolios
Portfolios used for Assessment of Learning
Purpose of portfolio prescribed by institution Artifacts mandated by institution to determine
outcomes of instruction Portfolio and/or artifacts usually "scored“ based on a
rubric and quantitative data is collected for external audiences
Portfolio is usually structured around a set of outcomes, goals or standards
Sometimes used to make high stakes decisions Requires Extrinsic motivation Audience: external - little choice
Electronic Portfolios
Portfolios that support Assessment for Learning
Artifacts selected by learner to tell the story of their learning
Portfolio maintained on an ongoing basis throughout the class, term or program -time flexible
Portfolio and artifacts reviewed with learner and used to provide feedback to improve learning
Formative - what are the learning needs in the future? (Present to future)
Fosters Intrinsic motivation - engages the learner Audience: learner, family, friends - learner can choose
