Plan for it – proportionately
• Expectations (pre-course)
• Sanctions (contract stage)

• Fresh air!
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd

Three main sorts:
1. Outcomes/objectives v. content
2. Content v. audience
3. Rights/permissions
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
1. 90% learning design framework pre-
contract
2. 10% management (more coffee!)
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Delivery timescale scarily short
 Contributors don‟t deliver
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Your own reputation for real deadlines
 Structured outsourcing
 Concise but sufficient briefings
◦ Avoid „catch-all‟ sets of online documents
 Tutor notes – looseleaf/multi-pdfs
 New hands to hubs, not highway
 Housekeeping sections early
◦ Assures people something is happening
◦ Fills time as other material appears
◦ Forces you to think through iconography
 Consistent file naming system
 Clear permissions immediately
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Accreditation
◦ Can take years, not days
 Assessment structure
◦ Activities will need redoing
 Permissions
◦ Drop material if necessary
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Beware for:
◦ multiple sites
◦ re-used materials
◦ overseas use
◦ flipped classrooms
◦ ePub3, etc
 If in doubt – ASK
- and get answer in writing

 Case work analysis
 “Motivated” learners
 Accommodating lives and differences

11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
Rethink when:
 Skills or resources are missing
 Staff cannot balance/support teams with
personality issues
 Assessment scheme is not in tune
 Course learning outcomes become
misaligned with programme learning
outcomes
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Resources available?
 Time available?
 Sanctions available/necessary?
11/04/2014Gillian Palmer, FBILD; ElementE Ltd
 Icing nozzles or course design
◦ A place for each but not the same
 Back to
 ….etc
