Description
Summary:Today, the methods of delivering knowledge online have become diverse, and online learning environments have reached maturity as evidenced by the fact that most institutions of higher learning are either using them or considering making them one of the leading modes of teaching and learning. Learners today are becoming open minded due to the technology that provides communication channels with different features and functionality. This study aims to observe the level of interaction between the facilitator-student and student-student in the Reflective Online Learning Environment (ROLE) and the progress of the learner's reflection and the facilitator’s feedback. Based on a case study and literature review, this study seeks to determine the components of Experiential Learning Theory to be visualized into the learning process to create an effective instructional strategy for effective lesson design. The study reveals that the reflective activity plays a vital role in the transformation of grasp experience to the new experiences. (Abstract by authors)
