Enhancing learning through good design Tom Boyle Learning Technology Research Institute (LTRI) London Metropolitan University ICT 2010, Singapore July 1 2010

Design for learning in the 21 st century What is the problem?

Everthing has been thought of before, The difficulty is to think of it again Goethe

Learning in a period of rapid and repeated change that affects both the means and goals of learning What should be learned…? What changes and what remains deeply the same ..? … How do we foster this learning?

Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world Archimedes

Where do we stand in order to apply these levers in education? What knowledge and skill do we need? Levers A place to stand ICT provides the levers to move the world of the 21 st century We need a deep and sound pedagogical base to ground ourselves in the use of the new technologies

How can we enhance learning through design that effectively uses ICT?

Different levels at which design for learning can be focused ( Autodesk Model)

Reusable learning objects

Effective media mix: visualization Dynamic visualization of muscle action

Active learning with effective media mix Language games

Games to encourage engagement

Interactivity Interacting with music for non musicians

Delivery on mobile phones

Some design principles
Appropriate and effective use of media
use the natural blend of media to suit the learning task
visualization, including dynamic visualization
making the abstract concrete and familiar
Interactivity
quality of the interaction for learning
User control
Design for reuse

Agile Development of Learning Resources The Process of Designing

Developing multimedia learning objects
‘ Agile’ development
Small groups
Tutor (learners) and developer
Driven by learner needs
Workshops
Iterative prototyping
Evaluation

‘ Learning design’ at the lesson level

Repositories of “Inspirational" lesson plans and supporting materials ‘ Executable’ lesson/activity plan

LAMS: Learning Activity Management System
LAMS creates "digital lesson plans" that –
are ‘executable’
can be run online with students,
stored online and shared among teachers

Transforming a course

Facilitating the process of designing Viewpoints project

LDSE
Learning Design Support Environment
Aims to create a toolset for pedagogical planning at the course and session levels
Led by Diana Laurillard at the Institute of Education
Attributes economic and pedagogical values to various teaching decisions
Provides suggestions to teachers
Reuse of open educational resources (OERs)
Reusable design ‘frames’ + OER (content)

Articulating the relationship between design and ‘learning object’ Learning design revisited

Three problems with learning objects
Successful educationally
but
Limitations in productivity
Weak support for repurposing and local adaptation
Successful designs are implicit and not easily available for reuse

Generative learning objects (GLOs)
The basis for reuse should be the pedagogical design rather than ‘content’ of the learning object
This gives a tremendous increase in productivity
A richer basis for reuse
Allows local tutors to repurpose learning objects to meet their local needs and preferences
including international adaptation

Design for Learning in the 21st century
Broader ecological world view
Creating effective, reusable learning designs
The process of designing
Capturing and reusing learning designs
Need to find better ways of representing, exchanging and reusing learning designs
Need to articulate more clearly a model of how designs at each layer relate to each other

Finally, if this all seems a bit too structural Good design works … and is deeply aesthetically satisfying … design is also about beauty
