Netherlands, Sept 2013. Foresight and choices for 21st Century learning
This document provides an overview of a presentation on foresight and choices for 21st century learning. It discusses four parts: context and principles, design for student engagement and participation, learning and teaching in an open world, and conclusions and future challenges. The presentation aims to inspire attendees to try one new thing and further inspire their learners and colleagues. It promotes principles of low cost and sustainability in design. Examples of challenges addressed include how to get started with online teaching and exploring different learning technologies. The document also discusses the Carpe Diem approach to course design and redesign in 2 days through storyboarding and prototyping.

NILE design targets LevelFocus Key features Foundation Delivery Absolute minimum expected Course information, handbook and guides Learning materials Intermediate Essential in all blended courses Participation In addition to ‘Delivery’: Online participation designed into the course. Tasks provide meaningful formative scaffold. Online participation encouraged and moderated, but not essential to achieve learning outcomes. Advanced Essential in all online courses Collaboration In addition to ‘Delivery’: Regular learner input designed into course & essential throughout. Online tasks provide meaningful scaffold to formative and summative assessment. Collaborative knowledge construction central to a productive learning environment. 17
