Tradeoffs between Classical Conditioning, Learning by Imitation and Learning by Doing based on Lecture Architecture

The modern education system uses theories given by Ivan Pavlov, Albert Bandura, Benjamin Bloom and Norman L. Webb as tools for making traditional classroom-based teaching easy. These theories work well when applied on one to one or traditional classroom teaching environment. In online education, it is often not possible to directly use these theories to control learner's classical conditioning, learning by doing, learning by imitation and social-cognitive skills concerning the course structure due to differences in learner's learning ecosystem. This research is the answer to this problem. In this research, we will propose a reference architecture for a lecture, based on theories given by Benjamin Bloom and Norman L. Webb. This architecture allows us to find tradeoffs between classical conditioning, learning by imitation and learning by doing in the online education system. We believe that the study of this kind helps the MOOC designers to design pedagogically effective MOOC's.
