This courseware includes the principles and best practices for a PBLA-aligned curriculum, incorporating real-world tasks, prior knowledge and experience, skill-building activities, skill-using and assessment tasks and reflection. The presentation will walk attendees through some of the content to demonstrate how it is organized across 21st century themes. It will also outline how activities are designed to take learners on a journey to coherently build skills and strategies needed for integration in work, education and community.
A collaborative teaching project was designed by an EAP instructor and a computer programming instructor to help students with their struggle in engaging with the language of programming. This workshop will showcase an English language integrated approach to enhance students’ ability to write algorithms and utilize tools such as flowcharts to visually translate those algorithms into programming constructs. By bridging linguistic and coding realms, this method offers a structured approach for effective learning, and application in the field of computer programming.
Join us for an interactive workshop where you'll explore practical methods to bring PBLA into the digital age. You will gain valuable insights and guidance on how to convert paper-based PBLA resources into effective online tools using various Moodle-based functions.
Throughout the workshop, we'll emphasize adult learning principles and provide strategies for obtaining meaningful student feedback on digital tools. You will have the opportunity to examine examples of how you can digitize your own PBLA materials for your online classroom, ensuring a seamless transition to the digital realm.
By the end of the workshop, you will leave equipped with the knowledge and skills to overcome hurdles in online PBLA implementation. Additionally, you will gain valuable insight and access to resources that will help you maintain consistent standards as online learning continues to evolve.
For the past year, an expert team of international and Canadian TEAL professionals has worked to develop technology standards for instructors, learners, and programs. Presenters will highlight the ways the standards can be a lens to guide and inform pedagogy, reflection, and program innovation, while encouraging audience discussion.
