Getting Started With CompendiumLD (version 1)Andrew Brasher
This slide show describes how to get started using CompendiumLD, a tool for creating visual representations of learning activities.
Teachers and media developers go through a complex decision making process when designing new learning experiences – working towards an effective pedagogical mix, combining resources, tools, student and tutor support.
For an individual media developer or teacher, the process of creating a visual map of a learning activity clarifies their own understanding of the mix. For teams comprised of individuals focused on different aspects, a visual representation supports communication about issues that need to be resolved before the activity is delivered to students.

Activity level Learning Design representations to enhance curriculum designAndrew Brasher
This exploratory study builds on existing approaches in using Learning Design representations in order to enhance curriculum design processes. Our lightning presentation reports on the first stage of the project, which aims to develop and test paper and software-based tools. These tools are envisaged to enable teams to design students’ learning journeys in detail, at activity level, with clear links to assessment and learning outcomes. In the lightning presentation we will showcase a first draft of the prototype tools, and discuss the strategies developed in order to iteratively design and evaluate these tools.
Designing and evaluating incidental learningAndrew Brasher
Presented at the CALRG Annual Conference, June 2015. http://www.open.ac.uk/research-groups/calrg/conferences/annual-conference
Abstract
Over the past three years we have been developing a framework intended to facilitate both the occurrence and evaluation of incidental learning. This work has been part of the MASELTOV project, supported by the European Commission, eInclusion programme FP7-ICT-7. The project intends to exploit the potential of mobile services for promoting integration and cultural diversity in Europe, and is focusing on support for immigrants with particular needs e.g. those who have not learned foreign languages, and who have a cultural background that contrasts with that of their host country.
The goal of the Incidental Learning Framework is to facilitate the creation of technology rich learning opportunities which emanate from incidental learning i.e. learning that is spontaneous and unplanned. As a design tool its use should encourage links and triggers to structured and reflective learning to back up and deepen learning that happens incidentally. The framework is a descriptive mechanism that enhances analysis and evaluation of incidental learning, and a generative tool to support discussions around software system design. It facilitates the communication of learning design ideas both visually and textually.
Initial work was presented at the CALRG conference in 2012, and the framework has been under development since that time (Brasher et al., 2012, Gaved et al., 2013, Kukulska-Hulme et al., in press). Development of the framework has included expert evaluation, and changes in response to data acquired from field trials of a mobile app intended to support language and cultural learning. In this paper we describe the development, use and evaluation of the framework to date, and reflect on lessons learnt.
How to design Collaborative Learning activitiesAndrew Brasher
A hands-on workshop exploring tools and techniques for designing successful online collaborative learning activities in higher education.
In this workshop you will work in a small team to design a collaborative online learning activity. You will have the opportunity learn about the principles involved, experiment with tools that can help you structure and analyse your ideas and learn from case studies of successful activities tried and tested on Open University modules. At the end of the workshop you will have produced an initial design which you can then develop further to be used in your online teaching activities.
This workshop has been created by the Metis Project, and it is one of three workshop structures that have been developed for different educational sectors across Europe. You will use several paper-prototyping tools and the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE), a bespoke environment for the co-design of learning, developed by the Metis Project. The ILDE aims to support practitioners in completing the "learning design" lifecycle from conceptualising designs to deploying them in virtual learning environments (VLEs) for enactment and eventual redesign. In particular, you will use WebCollage, an online tool specifically designed to assist you in creating collaborative learning activities ready to run in a VLE. The overall design of this workshop is based on a meta-design template produced by the Metis project http://metis-project.org/.

Supporting integration through incidental learningAndrew Brasher
The Maseltov project (“Mobile Assistance for Social Inclusion and Empowerment of Immigrants with Persuasive Learning Technologies and Social Network Services”, http://www.maseltov.eu/ ) project recognises major risks for social exclusion of immigrants and identifies the potential of mobile services for promoting integration and cultural diversity in Europe.
The project intends to exploit the potential of mobile services for promoting integration and cultural diversity in Europe, and is focusing on support for immigrants with particular needs e.g. those who have not learned foreign languages, and who have a cultural background that contrasts with that of their host country.
We will present the first iteration of an incidental learning framework developed within the Maseltov project. This framework is intended to facilitate the coordination of existing technologies, content, pedagogies, processes and practices into learning services that can be used effectively by immigrants, their networks and mentors so as to increase immigrants’ ability to function in an unfamiliar society. When fully developed, the framework is intended to support the design of learning experiences which show
(i) how incremental, opportunistic, social and game-based learning can be applied to immigrants problems, (ii) which content areas can be offered and combined (from among language, culture, information access, mobility, health care, etc.), and (iii) which technologies are best suited for each type of content and interaction.
A full description of the Incidental Learning Framework is provided by Brasher et al (2012).
