Segment 1: Introduction to R2D2

“Why learn R2D2? Why is it useful? What does it do?”

R2D2 (which stands for Read, Reflect, Display, and Do) is a model designed to help online instructors and/or online course designers to integrate learning activities that accommodate all learning styles. Although web-based learning has become increasingly popular, many of the activities used in web-based learning are predominantly text-based and do not take learning styles into consideration. The R2D2 model provides 4 phases that it recommends for inclusion in all online courses. By including these 4 phases in your instruction, you automatically make your learning activities attractive to all learning styles and create an interactive course that utilizes many tools that the internet and online learning can provide.

The R2D2 model is intended to provide guidance to online course designers, online trainers, and/or online teachers that will help them integrate non-text based instruction that is appealing to different learning preferences. The authors of the model think it is important to facilitate the movement from text-based learning toward learning activities that integrate collaboration and promote hands-on and active learning.
