Procedures and Principles

Today's lecture is about 2 intellectual skills in instructional strategies.

Procedures: an ordered set of actions(steps) to achieve goals.
Principles: higher order of procedures, the outcome maybe fuzzy, but it is necessary to ensure the overall goal is achieved as a result of learning.In an e-Learning situation, the two toughest Instructional Events for teaching Procedures and principles are Practice and Feedback.With the use of E-learning, i think the best method to use a platform(blog or forums, like WetPaint and diigo) sort of like wikipedia, where students are given tasks to collaborate and contribute their efforts to the same platform so they would know what others have learned.
Although this is not something new on Internet, it is still one of the more effective method where people can gather their thoughts.
