In preparation for the workshop, the partners had the task of preparing a 5-10 minute clip of the presentation, which is normally included in their curriculum, and which is challenging for students or pupils to master. The titles of the presentations prepared by the partners are: "IT-system specialsits - what do they do?" (KTH), "Discrete-time Fourier transform" (FER) and "Vienna congress" (SEŠ-MB). In addition, before this activity, the partners were given the task of checking the list of specifications and functions of the AudIT tool (O1.A1.3) and, if necessary, supplementing the document in which they are listed.
As part of the workshop, Professor Predrag Pale gave a lecture on learning in the context of cognitive theories of learning with an emphasis on Cognitive Load Theory and Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. These theories were used as a context for interactivity, its importance and role in acquiring knowledge. In the discussion that followed the lecture, the partners discussed their perception of interactivity. In the conclusion of the workshop, interactivity is defined in the context of technologies that can be used in education to promote interaction between the lecturer and the audience and in the context of methods that the lecturer can use independently of the available technologies, with the aim of actively involving pupils or students in the process of knowledge construction.
Partners held their own presentations and discussed the interactivity elements they use within each one. On the basis of the workshop, the partners achieved a common understanding of the concept of interactivity, which is a prerequisite for further activities of defining the related needs of students and teachers (O1.A2.3) and developing methodologies to support interactivity (O1.A2. 4). |
