Po danes že klasični obravnavi snovi s pomočjo PowerPointa (pri čemer sva aktivno vključili i-tablo), ki je še vedno dokaj učinkovito orodje, kadar je uporabljeno pravilno in v »zmernih količinah«, sva se odločili za nastavitev lekcije v Moodlu, ki dijakom in/ali študentom omogoča samostojno delo z uporabo klasičnih in e-gradiv. Izbirajo lahko kraj in čas, intenzivnost prilagodijo svojim željam in možnostim, lekcijo po želji večkrat ponovijo in merijo uspešnost posameznega poskusa.
Za utrjevanje snovi sva pripravili nekaj aktivnosti v Moodlu, nalogo, ki zahteva kratke esejistične odgovore, križanko in dopolnjevanje praznin v programu HotPotatoes, izkoristili pa sva tudi pripravljeno e-gradivo, dostopno na spletu.
Snov smo utrjevali tudi v razredu in s skupnimi močmi pripravili miselni vzorec v programu XMind, ki so ga dijaki in/ali študenti kasneje uporabili za učenje oziroma pripravo na izpit.
Skupaj smo se pripravili na terensko delo, s katerim smo želeli na najučinkovitejši način zaključiti obravnavo teme, saj vemo, da so obiski podjetij in s tem pridobljene izkušnje ter znanja izjemnega pomena za mladega človeka. Poiskali smo informacije o podjetjih, se dogovorili za sprejem, pripravili učne liste in dobro pripravljeni obiskali izbrana podjetja.
Vstopu v virtualni svet se nismo mogli izogniti, vprašanje je le, katere pristope in katera orodja bomo uporabili ter kako jih bomo kombinirali, da bomo dosegali čim boljše rezultate – to je visok nivo znanja in motiviranega, zadovoljnega dijaka in/ali študenta. Odzivi kažejo, da je tako dijakom kot študentom všeč raznolik pouk z uporabo različnih metod in orodij ter individualnim pristopom učitelja/predavatelja.

Abstract

After almost standard and widespread use of transferring new knowledge to students with the help of PowerPoint presentations (where we actively included I-boards), which is still fairly effective tool if used correctly and in »dosed quantities«, we decided to create a lecture in Moodle, which enables students to independently work with classical as well as e-materials. They can choose the place and time, adjust intensity to their needs and capabilities, repeat the lecture as many times as they desire, and evaluate their own effectiveness.
To achieve thorough practicing of lectures we created several activities in Moodle: a task which requires short assay-like answers, crosswords and fill in tasks with help of Hot potatoes software. We also included available web based e-materials.
We also included an in class lecture and interactively constructed mind map with the help of XMind, which students later used to practice for the exam.
We also prepared materials for fieldwork where we wanted to effectively finalize the main topic of all study activities, since we know that hands-on experience in real companies is very important for young students. We collected relevant data about the company, made an appointment, established learning objectives and finally visited the company well prepared.
Entry into the virtual reality is inevitable. The only question is which tools and what approaches we shall use, and how to combine them in order to achieve the best results – high degree of knowledge in motivated and satisfied student. Direct student feedback shows high degree of satisfaction with diverse lectures, use of different innovative methods and personalized approach.
