Multimedia Design for Learning and Differentiated Learning

Hi Yixuan,

I really appreciate your blog about the advantages and the disadvantages of differentiated learning. You are definitely right that differentiated instruction is tailored teaching methods to meet all students’ needs. As you mentioned, teachers can teach based on students’ characteristics and personal interests. This would greatly enhance students’ enthusiasm towards learning. However, I respectively disagree with you that schools and governments should lay more emphasis on the students with special needs. In other words, I think educators should provide more equal opportunities to students. But at the same time, teachers should motivate peers to help those who have special needs and encourage all students to achieve the same goal.
