The learning sequence that I decided to use was to provide a face-to-face and on-line information session for the nursing students who are about to attend an Outward Bound Nursing Studies aboard in Singapore in June 2015.
I will be
using the TPACK framework to explain my rational for my choice of content,
pedagogy and the selection of technology to be used for this presentation.
The audience
consist of:
·
3
students in Rockhampton (where the presentation will be filmed) – unfortunately
2 students couldn’t attend as they were on clinical placement.
·
1
student at Mackay Campus – who could not attend as above.
·
1
student via phone link-up from Singapore.
·
1
student via phone link-up in Melbourne.
·
3
students via video conferencing at Noosa CQU Campus.
·
CIS
representative via Skype from Vietnam.
·
International
Co-ordinator from Rockhampton Campus.
I tried to
do the Google Excel – I could download the document but could not insert the
information when online. My computer is
quite old and maybe it might have been a different story if I was at work. Therefore, I have uploaded the excel document
here.

Pedagogy
Personally,
I believe that pedagogy is about leading students to a place where they can
learn for themselves. It is about
creating environments and situations where people can draw out from within
themselves, and hone their abilities they already have, to create their own
knowledge, interpret the world in their own unique ways, and ultimately realise
their full potential as human beings. As
a lecturer I like to pose challenges, ask the right questions and present
relevant problems for learners to explore, answer and solve.
This outward
bound trip to Singapore is about the nursing students to gain knowledge and
skill in caring for people from a culture different to their own. Transferable nursing concepts will be
explored and the students will experience and observe the whole health system
in Singapore. The objective for the
visit to Changi General Hospital is to disprove the myth that other countries
are not as advanced as Australia within their Health Care System.
Effective
pedagogical practice promotes the wellbeing of students, lecturers and the
university community. This is achieved
by incorporating a variety of teaching strategies that support intellectual
engagement, connectedness to the wider world, supportive classroom
environments, and recognition of difference. Therefore,
my job as a lecturer is to scaffold the students learning to enable them to
become independent learners. This
scaffolding of this learning experience has been achieved in the following
ways:
·
The
students need to obtain a fundamental knowledge about the country Singapore,
its laws, customs and cultural differences.
This enables the students to appreciate the differences between
Australia and Singapore.
·
For
learning to occur in and before leaving Australia, I believe that you have to
reduce any anxiety about the trip and therefore the students need to know the
trip is well organised and that they are in safe hands. Their classroom will be a lived experience in
Singapore and therefore the students require a supportive clinical facilitator.
·
In
order for the students to be prepared for the trip to Singapore they need to
know what to bring, what will happen at the airport etc.
·
Assessment
of the learning experience within this learning environment will involve the
lecturer observing whether the students come prepared as per their induction
session information. In addition, as
part of my PhD I will be conducting a pilot study on the students experience
called “Home and Away” about their learning outcomes, experience and how
prepare they were for this trip.
Technology
The learning
experience for this induction session on the student’s trip to Singapore used a
variety of technology to support the student’s acquirement of knowledge.
The best use
of technology to support the above learning experience was to design and
deliver a PowerPoint Presentation which will support a live oral presentation
that conducted via ISL to other campuses and be recorded using ECHO 360
technology. There are many affordances
within this technological mode of this learning experience.

* Allow
learners to process information through auditory & visual channels.
* Affordable and manageable to produce
*
Resources can be reproduced for other presentations.
|
PowerPoint
presentations can be changed into movies and be uploaded to distance learning
programs. In addition, I added
voiceover
For
distance learning only as a lecturer the use of Camtasia which is record on-screen
activity to bring a new level of communication to e-learning.

ISL
connection and recording of presentation using Echo 360
|
*Provides
the opportunity to record a live presentation for students who could not
attend.
*Provides
students with the opportunity to collaborate and ask direct questions to
their facilitator or in-country representative.
* You can show video via this means as part of your presentation.
|
The
downside to this use of technology is that it is live and as a lecturer you
can make mistakes. In addition, you have got no control if guess speakers are also presenting regarding timings as it is a live presentation.
During the
recording of my presentation – a construction worker accidently cut power or
the power line to our Building.
Therefore, I had to send the students my PowerPoint Presentation and
add audio narrations to the individual slides.

Social media
|
Affordance
|
Comments
|
Skype
Facebook
|
Social
media is used for social interaction and it uses web-based and mobile
technologies to turn communication into an interactive dialogue.
For
the Singapore Induction session – I used Skype and Facebook as Social Media
to support the student learning experience.
|
Facebook
only works as a medium if all the students in the class use Facebook in their
everyday life. I discovered that some
students that are going to Singapore do not use this Social media device. Therefore, you risk not have equality of
information and learning available to every student.
|
During this
course we have been exposed to many different types of technology. It is interesting when I compare myself to my
friend who is a School Teacher at a Melbourne School teaching Year 2 students. My friend uses technology within her
classroom on a daily basis; from interactive whiteboards to every student have
desk iPad. At the moment the School of Nursing
doesn’t have this sort of technology and it takes time to get used to new forms
of technology. Last year I had no idea
how to do a PowerPoint Presentation with audio inserted or to change it into a
movie. It was a new experience to record
someone on Skype and this with the class with a live audience. I am determined to keep experimenting with
different media sources.
I will provide links to my Echo 360 presentation with live audio and it demonstrates
Ryan speaking to the group via Skype before the power failure happened. I have also included a copy of the
presentation that I sent out to the students of my PowerPoint with added audio
narration. These presentations will be provided by my Word document for the coverpage for this assignment.
