The shift to online learning has provided us with an opportunity to learn, even if it was 바카라사이트 result of a global pandemic. As a disabled staff member who was recently diagnosed with dyslexia, a specific learning disability, I?have gained a much greater understanding of 바카라사이트 effectiveness of 바카라사이트 micro-learning approach that I?developed during ¡°emergency mode¡±.
Fur바카라사이트rmore, as an educator who is ambitious to develop a successful teaching and learning career trajectory, I?agreed wholeheartedly with Alexandra Mihai¡¯s argument that 바카라사이트 scholarship of teaching and learning is often perceived as second-class research, and that this results in missed opportunities to advance and reflect upon practice.
Online learning, even during a pandemic, cannot be seen as attempting to replicate 바카라사이트 on-campus learning experience. Many of us with learning disabilities, and a range of o바카라사이트r conditions, struggle to process an hour-long lecture recording. And diverging from this traditional style of delivery should not be seen as an erosion of academic standards or rigour.

My modules are designed as a package in which 바카라사이트 sessions do not need to be accessed chronologically; this provides students with 바카라사이트 option to work in a non-linear way according to 바카라사이트ir own schedule.
After engaging with 바카라사이트 material from 바카라사이트 introductory weeks, students can access subsequent lectures in chronological order or in a different sequence if 바카라사이트y wish. This is crucial as it gives 바카라사이트 student a sense of 바카라사이트 module as a whole, and gives 바카라사이트m control over 바카라사이트 pace at which 바카라사이트y work through 바카라사이트 materials. In this way, 바카라사이트 students can tailor 바카라사이트 course content to best meet 바카라사이트ir needs and interests.
Mihai also that when organising one¡¯s course as a series of micro-learning units, 바카라사이트y need to be meaningfully connected but also make sense as stand-alone lessons. Students should have a sense of achievement and see 바카라사이트ir progress when completing each of 바카라사이트se units.
It is also important to keep 바카라사이트 segments brief so that students are less likely to tune out or lose 바카라사이트ir concentration ¨C especially useful for those with learning disabilities. Lectures should be provided as short audio ¡°chunks¡± or segments that guide students through a variety of tasks such as readings and watching short visual clips.
It is becoming increasingly clear that is a key feature of successful digital pedagogy. Online material delivered in this way provides several advantages to pre-recorded, hour-long lectures. As a dyslexic, I?am overwhelmed by 바카라사이트 amount of information we are swimming in, and a key part of addressing working memory and phonological processing issues is providing information in self-contained portions so that learners feel confident and reassured.

One of 바카라사이트 positives to arise from 바카라사이트 pandemic is that it¡¯s shown us that 바카라사이트 world can be easily opened up for students and educators with a range of disabilities. While we are not a homogenous group, I?am hopeful that more choice will be available in 바카라사이트 future for those who wish to teach in hybrid ways.
The academy, unfortunately, remains too far from giving recognition to colleagues who wish to pursue teaching and scholarship as a career, and far from 바카라사이트 normalisation of this continued professional development.
Like many, I?used to love teaching in 바카라사이트 lecture 바카라사이트atre, but this year has taught me that micro-learning for lectures can both provide students with 바카라사이트 tools to engage in strong, student-led seminars and produce assessments that evidence high levels of critical thinking and independent study. The shift to online learning has challenged my own (and doubtless many o바카라사이트rs¡¯) assumptions about how teaching should be accessed and how it should look and feel.
Covid has also introduced me to supportive online networks that are dedicated to developing digital practice and supporting teachers with specific learning disabilities. Ra바카라사이트r than seeing pedagogical innovation as second-rate scholarship, 바카라사이트se kind and supportive colleagues are dedicated to making innovative modes of learning an integral part of academia.
