Learner+Profile


 * LEARNER PROFILES **

Learner profiles are a great way of tracking where students are at in their studies. Learner profiles can be used by anyone for any reason. Below is a link to a template of a learner profile. Keep in mind this is just a basic one and they can be altered to suite others needs and wants. [] This learner profile template displays headings such as Background of Learners, Prior experience, Learners objectives, Learners’ motivation, Success Factors, Technology, Learning strategies, Support, Desired Competencies. The context of these heading can be altered to support the digital story telling topic for Primary school students. Here is a learner profile that I have altered to suite digital story books, most sub-headings did not have to be altered because they already suite what it required to be written there. : - What do your learners know about Digital Media already? Do they understand how to use the digital technology? ||  || - What prior knowledge, skills, experience do the students have that could be helpful to learning Digital Media? How can this experience be drawn out and integrated into the learning of Digital Stories? ||  || - What do you think the learners’ objectives will be after using Digital Story books? ||  || - What will make the program most relevant to the learners? What will prove meaningful, and provide motivation to learn through Digital Media? ||  || - What factors might affect learner success or failure in the program of Digital Story Books? ||  || - Do the learners have access to learning technologies (e.g. computer, CD-ROM, Internet, video, etc.)? Are they pre-disposed to using these? ||  || - How will they best learn – participation, self-reflection, activities, and practice? How can different learning styles (e.g. visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) be accommodated? ||  || - What kinds of support will be needed (academic, peer, supervisor, technical, etc.) to help ensure learner success? ||  || - List the learner competencies that need to be achieved. State these as things that the learner will be able to **do** after using Digital Story Books. ||  ||
