Very few researchers have considered peer-initiated online communities as sites where informal learning takes place. The goal in this chapter is to expand and enrich the conceptualization of informal learning by positioning it as a group meaning-making process rather than an individual cognitive product. The authors begin the chapter by providing an overview of the opportunities adults have to engage in informal learning through asynchronous conversations in online communities. Then, they summarize current conceptualizations of informal learning and the approaches researchers have used to examine it, noting both their potential and limitations. The authors synthesize the research they have conducted on online learning conversations over the last eight years and present their model of informal learning as a group meaning-making process.

Adult learners are different from younger learners. Many have taken Knowles' ideas to work with adult learners as if they all are the same. Knowles described adult learners as more self-directed, willing to be responsible for what they do, unwilling to have teachers impose arbitrary information on them, ready to learn, task oriented, and experienced. Prather adds many adults have more immediate goals for their lives and careers. Kenner and Weinerman find adults want more collaborative relationships with professors. Adult students are unique and come to classes from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances, with different needs, wants, and learning preferences. Many students are prepared for college, while others are petrified. In this chapter, the authors argue that instructors should understand their students in order to help them be successful. Students are not alternative students; they are normal, intelligent people who can and will learn. Thus, the goal should be student-centered online learning.

Module Development

Technology and education are now required for the development of 21st century skills. The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the practicality of STEAM-based e-Modules in online learning, 2) the importance of STEAM-based e-Modules in online learning, and 3) the improvement of students' creative thinking skills in fifth grade on the content "My Blood Circulation is Healthy." A total of 16 students were employed in the study. Questionnaires and tests were utilized as data gathering instruments. Problem and need analysis, literature review, product design, validation, and practitioner testing were the stages of development. The findings revealed that pupils' low creative thinking abilities were attributed to teachers' failure to adequately embrace technology and their continued usage of traditional instructional materials. The STEAM-based e-Module development improved creative thinking skills of Grade 5 students.

<p>During the full Implementation of flexible learning in both basic and higher education, the majority of the schools opted to choose to use a modular approach rather than online learning. There are a lot of struggles encountered by both teachers and students. Part of the Struggle is the development of modular instructional materials. There are teachers that accidentally didn’t cite credible sources which reflected in their modules. Book Authors also suffered from copywriting and plagiarism issues because there are teachers that don’t know how to cite or give credit to the authors of the book or in some published research. This study will help both teachers and administrators of both basic and higher education on how to formalize a standard method on how to cite credible sources just like in a refereed research journal.</p>

Anchored Discussion

This chapter aims to perform a thorough analysis of students’ online learning conversations. Although offering a high potential for collaborative learning, successful online learning conversations are not easy to realize. After discussing the specific challenges of conducting conversations in general, conversations- for-learning and learning conversations online, the author uses this investigation to discuss ways to effectively facilitate them. Van der Pol demonstrates, then, that the context-creating effect of anchored discussion can effectively address some of these difficulties by turning opinion-oriented exchange of ideas into a more meaning-oriented processing of material, while increasing communicative efficiency.

Peace-loving-themed short stories have some potential to reconstruct national characters. Such characters are paramount in response to the lack of tolerance during the millennial era. Such short stories can be implemented through various modes, one of them being short-story appreciation. When the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia, the government suggested shifting schools to online learning. One of the online learning platforms used in Indonesia is the Learning Management System (LMS). The purpose of the current research is to develop via LMS instructional materials for short-stories appreciation using peace-loving-themed short stories that aim at strengthening national characters. This study used the research and development design proposed by Borg and Gall. The instructional materials developed are in the form of e-learning website which consists of formulated tasks of short stories appreciation. The validation test shows that this type of learning material is valid and applicable to be used. The instructional material includes contents focusing on the theme of peace-loving stories. Moreover, the aspects of national characters boosted by this type of material includes tolerance, equality, altruism (caring for others), empathy, and sympathy, which are depicted through the characters in the stories. The forms of tasks are also designed in a way to expose the national characters conveyed in the stories. Keywords: materials, peace-loving short stories, national characters, LMS
