A Workshop on Learning, Technologies, and Modern Physics: Implementation

The workshop was implemented in four phases:

Building collaboration between instructors and tutors.
Classroom presentation of a new learning method with technologies (sometimes called guest speaker phase).
Helping students in the learning center to use the method, learned in the previous phase, to teach each other in the classroom.
Students teach each other new to them material using technologies to present their ideas.

	1.	Implementation

Design (students' point of view)

The first "prototype" of the workshop was developed and implemented by me as an instructor. I realized that the project is too complex to be implemented by the teacher. The prototype was further developed into a bigger project.

The final variant of the workshop was designed to provide support for instructors in the classroom and to integrate the entire learning process, including students' study-time in cases in which students need help. Therefore, students' feedback is considered the most important indicator for success.

"For students like myself, this type of programs provide 90% success rate if the student applies himself and follows through. It has been a wonderful experience for me. I will recommend the workshop to all students."

Design (Flowchart)

The workshop was designed and developed to integrate the efforts of tutors and instructors in a process in which learning is purposeful. The link to the flowchart of the workshop shows the design ideas in a simple form.

Technology Integration

    Students' learning diversity was approached in the workshop in three directions: students' learning demand, students' learning demand and the zones of proximal development, and students' learning demand as it depends on students' learning orientations.

     The integration of technologies into the learning process is one way to address the complexity of students' differences without artificial stereotyping and simplifications. In the workshop, students' diversity is used as an opportunity to illuminate the content from different points of view.

      The implementation process is described in the paper attached in this section.

Development into the Classroom

The development of the workshop into the classroom is a long process with constant improvements and new elements. The photo gallery of the workshop represents different moments of the workshop development.

Environment for Meaningful Learning

Design and Development of Environment for Meaningful Learning

Students' engagement into the process of learning was the most important result of this workshop. The collaboration between instructors and tutors provides an integrated learning environment in which the classroom and the learning center creates a new closed geometry of learning opportunities. Some students' artifacts are presented in the web site for the workshop.
