Listen "Online Educators with Donald Clark"
Episode Synopsis
From blackboards to interactive whiteboards, learning has always made use of technology. But with the advent of computers and then the internet, learning theory entered a new phase from the late 20th Century onwards – as thinkers grappled with the challenges of designing systems and content that could help people learn online. How could making programmable robots stimulate children to learn? What was the best way to combine media for learning – and how could you teach online without distracting or overloading learners? What were the rules for creating optimal learner experiences? These were the questions our online educators asked themselves. ---------- 0:00 - Intro 1:07 - Introducing The Online Educators 8:43 - Seymour Aubrey Papert (1928 - 2016) 14:33 - Richard E.
