Rationales: • Create more sophisticated learning designs that include writing, reflection, collaboration, etc.• Be able to share/talk about designs
Scenario Design – CompendiumLD design editor

Scenario Design - Sequencing with the LAMS system
18.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 6
Functions: • Authoring, delivery & monitoring combined (!) • many built-in activity tools• sophisticated sequencing (flow)
Status: • Well supported life project, • gaining recognition• Free

2. Personal learner/learning environments
18.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 7
Rationales:• Help the learner organize his/her development over long periods (years)• Integrate materials and activities• Encourage reflection
Context: the personal environment = a MY Space

Status: •Free and functional
3. Teacher enablement: some issues
18.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 12
Teacher enablement and training is a big issue
Some elements:• Help the teacher integrate various activities• Help him/her select appropriate design languages and tools• Help with other technology (other than for teaching because 20% of all jobs are IT intensive)
Example problem: Split personality of university teachers
18.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 13
Four scholarships- Boyer (1997)
Be a good researcher:
+ Publish quality articles
Be useful as knowledgemediator:
+ Pull ideas together + Share knowledge with all + Teach well (+ Be able to use technology)
Splitworlds
(1) Discovery
(2) Integration(3) Application(4) Teaching
Is there a way to find time (and tools) for both, i.e. some synergy ?

Dimensions of teacher skills …
TPACK = be able to create technology enhanced teaching designs (that include use/teaching of domain technology too)
(Koehler & Mishra)
4. Knowledge communities
18.04.23 http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ 16

5. Repurposing
• Not actually a new trend• About 50% of successful use of technology in education
is repurposed (e.g. portals, wikis, web 2.0 social software, professional software, …)
• Do not make the mistake to believe that so-called learning management systems necessarily will fit your needs …
