Think Pieces 2018 Reassembly

Student Voice

Desire for navigable and understandable structure

Care for student learning

Hunger for connection

Variety of needs

Lighting a fire not filling a pail

This Student’s Experience

Long day, had to get food, interaction with family, lack of time, focus on assessment rather than content

Response - Known Task

Curriculum“The course to be run”

But need for some sort of common story

Or the story of the learning

Drama and Performance

Performance

Dramaturgy

Story Telling

Narrative Arc

Red Dead RedemptionFeminist backlash - how much does

curation bear responsibility for actions of participants?

Standardisation and Compliance

Graph of delivery time above as example

TEQSA

Standard Screw Threads and what they enabled

Academic Board

Wrap Up

Pleased to see that narrative arc and dramaturgy of strategy are taking

hold

;Pleased to see really great work happening

Interested in reflections

What’s My Job?

To bring some closing overview and pull out the themes - in other words

perhaps to tell the story of this year’s Think Pieces

One version of our story

Kodak moment?

Maybe not good analogy

Car industry - British Leyland - conversation with JG

But it’s OK - interesting stuff in there - although what does it say when the

T&L experts can’t stick to spec?

Return to this!

But very consistent with Damien’s feedback and OSSRC

Need to be able to tell a story of attention to quality assurance and

quality enhancement

But also microelectronics and ICs

There is no creativity without constraint

Early advice - “A lecture is a performance” - do we think about

learning events as that from our side - or do we think of them as a digital

book?

Do we design thoughtfully the emotional ride - loved this in BBIP !

And I’m going to do the same!!!

We used to think of a very controlled story

Clear Learning Outcomes

Well-designed learning experiences

Thank you to everyone for taking part - including Damien - really enjoy this task - Will tease the contributors a little bit later on - but thank you for

including me

Reassembling also brought to mind Westworld - will come back to this

Miriam’s pres also relevant

Leah, Wiki - choose your own adventure - also Open?

Definitely valuable, but What is this for? What’s Think Pieces story?

Personal Reflection?

Proselytising?

Education? - to stimulate thinking in others?

Depending on what you think it’s for, might need to reflect on the compliance requirements for

engagement

Damien’s point - important for our students to know this too

Now less controlled - Post-Modern approaches? Westworld

Tech disruption as back to the future

Simulated antiquity

Freedom without consequences

Repeated narrative arcs and loops

Desire for humanity and to break out of ruts but from a story base - is this what we do for our students?

Are we thinking the wrong way about our task?

Are we still too content focussed

Rather than building digital learning literacy and curation skills and helping

them walk their own journey

Role modelling?
