Description
C1DO1 (See one, do one) is an experiential learning platform that enables institutions (that have or are dedicated to creating practical skills content) to transfer practical skills to their users (students). As an asynchronous tool, by reinforcing teacher feedback C1DO1 makes teaching more efficient by allowing teachers to scale up to more students with more personalized services. The product enables teachers and student to interact on the web and via a mobile community, offering profiles for students, instructors and administrators. Students upload their videos to the cloud and a teacher subsequently provides remote, deferred feedback. Students can then train as many times as they wish until they record more content, receive more feedback and thus complete the learning cycle.
Problem
The pandemic has shown how acquiring practical manual skills is not possible using remote formats. Professional technical and higher education institutes have only been able to adapt with traditional e-Learning formats, moving their classrooms to Zoom, or video-recorded classes, where knowledge is delivered, but transferring manual skills remains difficult. There is an urgent need for solutions involving practical opportunities guided by expert instructors (deliberate practice), and to move from “knowing” to “doing.” Learning psychomotor skills must also move from a face-to-face setting to a remote setting where learning can take place regardless of geographical or time constraints, in order to scale up limitlessly.
Advanced consultancy work by Training Competence and several international publications have shown that professional technical institutes and universities in Chile and throughout Latin America are currently dealing with challenges regarding how to conduct traditional practical workshops, as students accumulate outstanding grades in several subjects and are even suspended until further notice. The sector has adapted to the pandemic by resorting to e-learning formats that cater to the domain of knowledge, since the “doing” part cannot be seen. (Burns & Mehay 2009, Miller’s pyramid).
We set out to address this situation with our technology, so that we can tackle the new post-pandemic world and scale up the teaching of practical skills remotely and asynchronously.
Operation
Remote learners can download the application, watch a video tutorial and then mimic this remotely. When they feel they get it right, it is recorded and uploaded to the C1DO1 cloud LAPP course, where a teacher belonging to a network trained in the course where the learner is studying and, on the platform, will evaluate the product and deliver specific and individual feedback, all remotely and asynchronously. The student receives this and repeats the process until reaching a learning curve. We then use the data gathered to automate courses, teaching experiences and better understand teachers and students.
