Designing a pedagogically grounded e-learning activity

Abstract

Referring to significant learning theories and teaching methodologies, as an insider researcher, my aim is to present you my pedagogically grounded e-learning activity, which I designed last semester, by using pbworks (collaborative learning environment). A rationale and a description of how this e-learning activity was integrated into a Turkish language course at a University level will be discussed together with the description of the aims and objectives of this activity. A summary of the activity, a description of the materials and their pedagogical significance will also be discussed. It will be indicated and explained briefly, how the teaching materials were used, such as individual or group study and how they achieved the stated aims and objectives. The role of the tutor in the activity and the problems which were arised from the beginning of the course until the end of the activity will be identified and discussed. Concluding, suggestions and possible solutions to these problems will also be mentioned.
