| Abstract |
English-MOOC is an online course design by using the theory of VARK
(Visual, Aural, Write/Read, Kinesthetic) to cater the different needs of at-risk
students. By utilizing the VARK theory, the module is designed to cater the
different learning preferences of at-risk learners. This is an online course
developed for massive open online courses (MOOCs) specifically for at-risk
learners and designed for UiTM as an OpenLearning platform. The novelty of
this product lies in the designing features of the MOOC by following the
intrinsically motivating instruction defines by Malone that provides learners
with three main features: challenge, curiosity, and fantasy. The course content
is designed by using student-centred, active and social learning pedagogical
principles including active activities for assessments, curating content for
community engagement, and updated course content. There are 6 main
engaged modules with rich media content and constructing activities using
OpenLearning Widgets. There is no set time frame; students can do the
activities when it suits them best. |
