SAMR Model is useful.
Good course
Although I am already familiar with the SAMR model, I'm new to the innovation matrix. It was interesting to see how these two tools can be used in combination to enhance teaching and learning.
Still not sure about the SAMR model. Need to revisit this and look at assessing it against my current teaching.
Very informative.
Definitions of the key terminology would have been simpler to understand and apply. Add this.
good unit clearly ids advantages of tackling this type of re consideration of teaching practices . Encourage investment of time.
Absolute rubbish. No learning took place. Just a waste of my time and 10 minutes of my life.
I do not wish to provide feedback at this time. Thank you very much indeed.
this is confusing the hell out of me I really dont understand it and its application in what i do
i didn't find this to be applicable to my delivery but that doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile for others
I think you need to discuss what the SAMR model actually is in much greater depth. I haven't come across the term before so didn't really understand what this module was suggesting until I searched it myself.
Useful to consider adaptations to teaching for SMARTER methods
Too far into educational pedagogy for me. If the management want to adopt the SAMR model then that's OK.
Good
The language used does not help clarity.
it's ok, however many in the sector may baulk at the jargon
Very goo
Thanks
Modification: Scheduling a weekly video conference meeting with the apprentices is a significant redesign of the way Alicja interacts with the learners. It’s not really an enhancement in SAMR terms. It does add to the modes of communication Alicja uses, but it is a fundamental redesign more than anything.
Useful way of looking at things.
I hadn't heard of SAMR before and really needed more explanation at the beginning explaining what this was about.
not 100% confident I understood this module.
Didn't excel in this section, as the material didn't seem clearly explained. I still feel a little confused about substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition. There is too much similarity between terms, and I wonder if this section got caught up a little too much in semantics.
