| Title | Perdoco: A Model to Understand the Roles of Teaching, eLearning and Game-Based Learning |
| Speaker | Brenton Burchmore CEO of the Lascivio Group of companies |
Abstract
Teacher-led instruction, then online learning, and now game-based learning; like it or not, ready or not, how we learn is changing faster than ever before – but what will the next learning model look like? How can we effectively combine these three modalities? Technology has already made its mark, but we are still deciding how to make the best use of it. Recent studies have told us many things that we do not all agree upon, but with the help of neuroscience new learning theories using technology are beginning to make more sense. The Perdoco model is one such theory. By exploring the core benefits of the three major learning modalities we create a model that makes the best use of these to work together for learning outcomes. Game-based learning has untapped potential, online learning is here to stay, and teachers are more important than ever. This presentation will explore how the structure of concept, context and content can be applied for a more complete learning model which links all of them into their ideal functions.
