Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read “Learning Strategies” (pp. 137-143), “Technology and Learning” (pp. 144-153), “Learning as Inquiry” (pp. 154-159), and “Cooperative Learning” (pp.160-166) in your required text. Review the information from The Critical Thinking Community. Play the expert in the following scenario and apply ethical principles and professional standards of learning and cognition psychology to your rationale: You are a computer software training instructor for a large corporation that designs bicycles. You have a group of new trainees who must learn your company’s design software system. List two areas of the learning environment that might be problematic to your training if you implement a fully online/asynchronous training program. What two strategies could you use to assist your learners/trainees with this protocol of learning based on your two noted areas? Based on the course content and the knowledge you have gained in this course so far, what mode of learning environment would you suggest for your group of new trainees? Support your reasoning with empirical evidence.
