Description¶

A learning model combining constructivism, connectivism, and cloud technology to support undergraduates in creating educational innovations. The article states that "Cloud-based constructivism and connectivism learning consist of three main elements: input factors, instruction process, and output factors." Input factors include 21st-century learning skills, the two theories, cloud technology, and course contents; the instruction process runs from analysis and planning through publication; output factors are media analysis, educational innovations, and application. Cloud technology serves both as an information source and as a production tool.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Cloud technology and internet access so learners can connect to knowledge sources and develop innovations without being in the same place as instructors
• Course content providing a design-and-development context (here, educational game design and computer-assisted mathematics instruction)

Constraints¶

• Evaluated only in a one-shot case study at a single Thai university with 60 undergraduates; no comparison condition

Target Learners¶

• undergraduates in education technology programs

Target Learning Objectives¶

• creating educational innovations
• learning and innovation skills including creativity and collaboration

Claims¶

• High Satisfaction Cloud Constructivism Connectivism Model [+M]
• Students Create 21 Educational Innovations [+M]
