T8+-+Learning+Design

Is anyone using a design methodology?

Flexible learning design Use of template - asks staff to identify topic, outcomes, etc to ensure space isn't a content dump... template allows you to revisit the design for next time

use of external consultant - with template but so confident they didn't want to use a template

How do we get staff to not 'jump to content' or 'jump to technology' - how do we get them to think of the learning outcomes first or content the outcomes with the content?

Otara Design Development Model
 * O** - Objectives/Outcomes **T** - Topics or Themes **A** - Activities **R** - Resources **A** - Assessment

O & As first - what do you want the students to do to get from O to A? these are the activities R - what resources do the students need to T - Topics or Themes

have a course guide to assist with teaching (for others later) and for reflection (or your own teaching)

this is the same as any design of a teaching course without the online/technology

can be altered to your needs, others aleady have

-we need to fill the gap of having no design process in an academic documentation

-staff (we should treat them like learners), diagnostics, customised help/PD

-eLearning Drivers Licence (hasn't worked before - look at eCDF projects CeLDD, etc)

Try one new thing - use it as a bribe if you need to to think about the outcomes etc

Multi-pronged approach may be the best bet...

eLearning from a Teacher Perspective - it's not another tool in your educator's toolkit but a whole new garage!

Suggest that staff explore new tools (Facebook/Twitter) for their personal use /social interaction / just to play - like Peter'ss 15mins per day play this morning.

Staff that are scared of other things are integrating UTube into their teaching.

Compliance? Up High/Proper Resources Play & exploration? No, thats not going to work

School/Department - community of practice / sharing /
