In this mindmap I have compared two pedagogic models that have been developed to
support multicultural e-learning. I have used the following questions in my reflection: How do the
models support multiculturally culturally sensitive
delivery of e-learning? What does the pedagogic viewpoint in question bring to
multicultural e-learning? What are the development needs? Is there evidence-based
empirical documentation of their applicability? I chose connectivism and universal design to my comparision.
According to connectivism learning occurs as a distributed process in a network. The learning process is influenced by the four
elements of the semantic condition (diversity, autonomy, openness,
connectedness).
The main idea of universal design is that products and environment should be usable at the very beginning by all people. This is done with the help of three main components of Universal Design Language (UDL), Dynamic Instructional Design (DID) and the learning types.
VastaaPoistaHi Tuire,
Your learning task will tell that you have internalized the content of a topic 5 very well. In particular, you focus on the reflection and analysis of the teacher's role based on different pedagogical approaches. The teacher's role is essential in responding to the question: How can pedagogically meaningful intercultural learning spaces that meet 21st century learning needs be created. Teacher's task is to create a meaningful multicultural learning space by orchestrating different pedagogical aspects and solutions together (e.g. pedagogical, technological and social/collaborative learning spaces, cf.Mäkitalo-Siegl, 2010).
It seems that you know how to form your own perception of a relevant multicultural pedagogic approach in an e-learning context.
You describe clearly your thinking and current understanding of the given task by using a concept map. I feel this kind of visual analysis and comparison will tell me that you've made a lot of thought behind the final output. You say a lot - briefly and in a coherent manner.

Tuire,
VastaaPoistaMy comments on the role of the teacher are in particular focusing on your identity task of this topic (Online identitity teacher and pedagogic approaches). I combined my comments by mistake.
