Justification for Using this Tool
Justification 1 - Collaborative Learning
Justification 1 - Collaborative Learning
- Buncee enhances collaboration in an e-learning environment. Learners can share their presentations with their peers through the use of links or Buncee Boards. Peers can interact asynchronously by adding comments to presentations to provide constructive feedback (Clark & Mayer, 2011).
- The multimedia principle is an essential learning principle that Buncee allows facilitators to incorporate in their lessons as deeper understanding occurs when graphics and words are used together, reducing the cognitive load of the learner (Clark & Mayer, 2011).
- Facilitators can segment lessons by using different slides to organize information into smaller, more manageable portions (Clark & Mayer, 2011). Pre-training information can be placed on slides at the front end of the presentation to support the concepts the lesson will cover.
- The easy to use navigation buttons allow learners to study or review content at their own pace (Clark & Mayer, 2011). Multiple choice questions and free-form practice questions can be added in the lesson to improve the skills and knowledge of the learner.
