Some reflections of sharing and creating from JISC Design for Learning Programme

Potential areas for future developments

JISC Design for Learing Programme “ Designing for Learning (with a practitioner planning focus on e-Learning) explores the process of designing, planning, sequencing or orchestrating learning tasks which may include the use of e-Learning tools.” http://www. jisc .ac. uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_pedagogy . aspx

JISC Design for Learning Programme 2 year programme 14 projects in total (including support and evaluation) Projects covered areas from conceptual modeling to implementation and evaluation Wide range of outputs and technologies (blogs, wikis, podcasts, word-docs, LAMS etc) http: //dfl . cetis .ac. uk/wiki/index . php/Main_Page - support project wiki Design Levels diagram,(developed by Helen Beetham)

How/can we share learning designs? Support Project Task: “provide and support a common means of accessing and re-using learning designs and exemplars that emerge from the programme” How ?

Support Project Task: “provide and support a common means of accessing and re-using learning designs and exemplars that emerge from the programme”

How ?

Solution Simple - not building a learning design repository Flexible and extensible Exploiting social bookmarking and mash-up technologies Integration with any number of other infrastructures (e.g. specialized repositories) which could store actual resources Resources just needed an url reference Linking bookmark store (del.icio.us ) to a community website (support wiki) which can render a newsfeed

Future developments Further exploration of light weight integration solutions with other sites/systems e.g. OU Cloudworks (http://www.slideshare.net/grainne/lams-keynote) Further tool development - ReCourse, widgets etc More design bashes Workflow Develop confident communities which encourage tagging, folksonomy development and/or vocabularies Investigate use of semantic technologies Learning design is part of wider curriculum design process - more linkages with institutional systems & processes

Further exploration of light weight integration solutions with other sites/systems e.g. OU Cloudworks (http://www.slideshare.net/grainne/lams-keynote)

Further tool development - ReCourse, widgets etc

More design bashes

Workflow

Develop confident communities which encourage tagging, folksonomy development and/or vocabularies

Investigate use of semantic technologies

Learning design is part of wider curriculum design process - more linkages with institutional systems & processes
