As every teacher knows, there are glorious days when all the wisdom of the ages seems to align, and your students get it!
Then, there are those
other days; the days where no matter how great the lesson, how well
prepared the interactives are, or how collaborative the task is – a number of your
students are just not getting it.
How can you move forward when
some are stuck? They need the learning scaffolded in a new way. Here is where
Just in Time Learning (JiTL) can help.
The idea behind JiTL is to
provide the needed information in smaller chunks just when it is needed most.
By creating a short support video, remediation does not have to become a
same-old rehash.
Using quick video segments
designed to grab a learner's attention and that provide visual representations of the
material in smaller bites, may make it easier for learners to digest and retain
what was previously missed.
Making the learning video short,
relatable, and easily accessible for their replay is an effective way to
support struggling learners.
Challenging them with an online,
immediate feedback knowledge check as a follow-up is a terrific way for them to
see if they are mastering the task or need more engagement time, or additional support.
