SDL & CL

K: Also based on the videos and the readings, i now know what the two definitions of Self Directed Learning and Collaborative Learning entails. Self Directed Learning entails the student driven to find out information or do research based on the topic that the student is interested in. Collaborative Learning entails coming together to learn or to tackle an issue or project.

SDL and CL thus can go hand in hand, for students can go away and research their own components then putting together what they have learnt or researched into a whole project.

W: What i want to learn is how can we find a project that is relevant to the curriculum that we are involved in, and how we can afford such luxury of time for a project, if the main crux of our education is still results oriented?

L: What i learnt for the week's lesson is how it can be possible for students to go on auto pilot to be in charge of their own learning, through working on a mind map, and through watching videos that illustrate and explain concepts. All this can be done with the essential equipment provided - laptops, etc...

Q: I'm still wondering whether initiatives like these can be tangible for a result driven curriculum like ours? And how much of SDL and CL do we allow?
