E-Learning Design for Lower Stage 1 Learners

E-learning design is not just about technology. It is about the intersection of technology, content and pedagogy and based on deep practical insight from the classroom. Here we will share experiences with designing for lower Stage 1 learners.  In this presentation we will outline key reasons why CLB 1 & 2 learners need digital skills for life in Canada. We will also discuss e-learning design considerations for low Stage 1 LINC learners including device use, literacy issues and tech familiarity and lead a discussion in the workshop.  We will also showcase 1. H5P activities, including multimedia choice, 2. Wordwall, and 3. Simple YouTube videos and accompanying worksheets. We will also demonstrate how CLB 1 and 2 e-activities can be created from authentic materials and simulate real-world experiences and discuss the ways e-activities can be used in different modes (F2F, Zoom, asynchronously). Resource lists and cheat sheets on how to make the activities will be shared.
