IMS Learning Design at LHU Mark Barrett-Baxendale, Amanda Oddie, Paul Hazlewood Deanery of Business and Computer Sciences Liverpool Hope University
Projects • JISC LD4P • Developing a user friendly interface for the Reload IMS LD editor. • Practitioners authoring IMS LD • JISC D4LD (UK OU) • Improving IMS LD runtime for institutional use • JISC DesignShare • Sharing, discovery & re-use of IMS LD
DesignShare project (discovery and sharing) LD4P project (authoring) D4LD project (run-time) The Valkenburg architecture (where we fit) OpenDocument.net Reload SLeD/Coppercore
Learning Design for Practitioners • Partners: St Helens College, Phosphorix, University of Bolton • Practitioners producing IMS LD units of learning with support • User interface to Reload for practitioners • Sharing IMS LD UoLs in other situations
Producing designs • Practitioner workshops-Reload • Evaluating the software • Practitioner draws up LD to level A (sequence/selection, content) • Using Reload • Team develops to level B if necessary • Add properties and conditions • Examples: • QTI • File upload • Messaging
Prototype user interface • Using practitioner feedback to develop designs for a new interface to Reload • Bolton to build prototype based on designs • Iterative design process • Review with practitioners • Refine designs • Improve prototype
Demonstration • Current Interface • New Designs
Original Interface New interface based on practitioner feedback
In use with learners Designs produced by practitioners • English Literature • Multimedia • Psychology • St Helens • Creative writing • Science

Designing for Learning Design • Led by UK OU • Partners: OUNL, LHU • Preparing SLeD (UK OU) and Coppercore (OUNL) for institutional use • Addressing performance issues • Usability • Improved course and user admin
Designing for Learning Design • SLeD Usability • Testing units of learning in classroom situations • Gather student feedback on use of SLeD • Compile list of usability issues • Coppercore Performance • Monitor issues whilst running of units of learning e.g. • Stability • Scalability • Administration
State of Play • Performance and usability issues identified in earlier project (Slide) were fixed by OU/OUNL at start of project. • Currently running modules • no stability issues so far. • Future • More units of learning e.g. • MSc. Computing Programme in Sept. 07 • Second year Computing module • Other subjects
