• Evaluation
Promise and reality
Social and participatory media offer new ways to communicate and collaborate
Wealth of free resources and tools
Not fully exploited
Replicating bad pedagogy
Lack of time and skills

Learning design bridges the gap between the future offered by technologies and existing limitations of our
courses

and
Learning Design
Shift from belief-based, implicit approaches to design-
based, explicit approaches
Encourages reflective, scholarly practices
Promotes sharing and discussion

design– The key principles and
pedagogical approaches– The nature of the learners

Capture
• Finding and creating interactive materials– Undertaking a resource audit of
existing OER– Planning for creation of
additional multimedia such as interactive materials, podcasts and videos
– Mechanism for enabling learners to create their own content
Capture
Resource Audit
Learner Generate Content
Communicate
• Designing activities that foster communication, such as:– Looking at the affordances of
the use of different tools to promote communication
– Designing for effective online moderating
Communicate
Affordances
E-moderating
Collaborate
• Designing activities that foster collaboration, such as:– Looking at the affordances of
the use of different tools to promote collaboration
– Using CSCL (collaborative) Pedagogical Patterns such as JIGSAW, Pyramid, etc.
Collaborate
Affordances
CSCL Ped. Patterns
Consider
• Designing activities that foster reflection
• Mapping Learning Outcomes (LOs) to assessment
• Designing assessment activities, including– Diagnostic, formative,
summative assessment and peer assessment
Collaborate
LOs/Assessment
Assessment Ped. Patterns
Combine
• Combining the learning activities into the following:– Course View which provides a
holistic overview of the nature of the course
– Activity profile showing the amount of time learners are spending on different types of activities
– Storyboard: a temporal sequence of activities mapped to resources and tools
– Learning pathway: a temporal sequence of the learning designs
Combine

Learning Pathway
Consolidate
• Putting the completed design into practice– Implementation: in the classroom,
through a VLE or using a specialised Learning Design tool
– Evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
– Refinement based on the evaluation findings
– Sharing with peers through social media and specialised sites like Cloudworks

Evaluation (from SPEED pilot)• We made a big breakthrough. We have achieved insight about the need to
structure it as … an online course, and not just simply as a set of learning activities plus integrated resources.
• The visual nature of the tools and the quick and easy way that one could use it... They help stimulate us to look at the course in a different way, in a natural and creative way even if we didn’t see all the little links right upfront.
• I wanted to have my thinking challenged with regard to course design and development and I definitely left reflecting and questioning our unit's current approach and have some good tools and approaches to pilot...
• It’s a way of freeing your mind and putting all the ideas of all the people in the course team down somewhere, not having to be so prescriptive. It was just a much freer and [more] creative experience than getting the learning outcomes and writing them as active verbs, and getting in at a granular level. It was quite sort of a liberating thing to just have everybody move components around and say, ‘Do you know I really like all these features. I’d like to do some problem-based learning. I’d like to do peer-review.’

Summary• 7Cs – a new learning design framework. – involves a range of conceptual representations of
courses – evaluation indicates that the framework is
welcomed and that the conceptual designs enable teachers to rethink their design practice to create more engaging learning interventions for their learners
– can also be used with learners, to give them an indication of the nature of the courses they are undertaking
A1: How to ruin a course
• List the ten ways in which technologies can ruin a course
• Consider strategies to avoid these issues
Purpose: To consider the ways in which technologies can ruin a course and creation of strategies to avoid these problems
E-tivity Rubric: hhttp://tinyurl.com/m3x32se
A1: Discussions
A2: Course Features
E-tivity Rubric: http://goo.gl/CRpc5
Purpose: To consider the features you want to include in your module/course, which will determine not only the look and feel of the course, but also the nature of the learners’ experience.
A2a: Forums, blogs and wikisPurpose: To consider the use of three central, LMS-based tools for interaction

A3: Resource audit
• E-tivity Rubric: http://goo.gl/C31yv
Purpose: To identify which free resources (Open Educational Resources) to include in your course/module, how much they need adapting and which new resources you need to create.
A4: Course Map
E-tivity Rubric:http://goo.gl/Z5eu7
Purpose: To start mapping out your module/course, including your plans for guidance and support, content and the learner experience, reflection and demonstration, and communication and collaboration.
A5: Activity Profile
• E-tivity Rubric: http://goo.gl/WMIzu
Purpose: To consider the balance of activity types that will be included in your module/course.

A6: Storyboard
E-tivity Rubric: http://goo.gl/z1VON
Purpose: To develop a storyboard for your module/course in which the learning outcomes are aligned with the assessment events, topics (contents) and e-tivities.
A7: Rubrics for evaluationPurpose: To devise a set of criteria for evaluating the success of the design in a real learning context
• Brainstorming some criteria to evaluate the success of the design in a real learning context
• Try and focus on measurable/observable things• Think about what data collection you might use
– classroom observation, surveys, interviews• Post its: Things I liked, room for improvement,
etc.
