Using Multiple Intelligence Theory in the Virtual Classroom - Margie Meacham, Learning Circuits
Combining what we know about multiple intelligences with virtual classroom features can help us enrich e-learners’ experiences. Howard Gardner, creator of the theory of multiple intelligences (MI), alerted us to the different ways people process information and to the importance of taking that into account when designing learning events. You may have modified the activities in your traditional classroom based on multiple intelligences theory, but what about your virtual classroom? In many companies, 50 percent or more of the curriculum is now offered in some form of collaborative virtual classroom. And yet, much of that material appears to be little more than PowerPoint slides with audio of the instructor’s voice. Often, companies assume that this limited approach is all that’s possible with existing technology. But many more features exist in a virtual classroom, and combining these with what we know about MI can help us enrich e-learners’ experiences.
