DEVISING AND ANALYZING NEW IT LEARNING MODEL MULTILEVEL ASSISTED INSTRUCTIONS- (MAI) IN DISTANCE EDUCATION

Abstract

The research focus is into proposing a new IT learning pedagogy Multilevel Assisted Instructions- (MAI) to be used in Distance Education. The aim of the new devised pedagogy MAI model is to transform today’s outmoded education system, teaching and learning, to a vibrant learning ecosystem that puts learners at the center, especially in the distance education. The research study will investigate and integrate all of the following research questions: What triggers in the new pedagogy?   What are the new demands of a Knowledge-Based Society? What are the new student expectations? What new technologies impose into teaching and learning? What are the advantages and pitfalls of new technologies? Can combinations of learning resources, experiences, and supports to help each learner succeed? Insights and recommendations are stated, augmented and discussed.
