Participate 1.1.3 Ideal Digital Learning Community Quest

In order to design the ideal digital learning community, many aspects of learning must be taken into account. Just like in the traditional classroom setting, there should be various types of learning opportunities using a plethora of teaching techniques. Students should feel comfortable completing the assignments or tasks, while being challenged at the same time. Timely feedback should be given by the teacher, providing students with ample opportunities to master the content.

The ideal DLC would not only provide students with quality learning experiences, but it would also be user friendly for the teacher. An easy-to-use platform with a clear and precise grade book would help teachers to utilize student data to inform their teaching and guide their lessons.

Finally, a link with a wealth of resources and links to help students understand the content would be a major requirement for the ideal DLC.  The illustration below is a great example of how the ideal digital learning community should bring together many of the most important aspects of education.
