5. Select content area Issue / problem – (gap: status vs desired; entry event/ scenario) What do you want to do about it? (driving question) Project objectives, target audience Target outputs What (general) activities should be done? What skills and knowledge are needed? Roles? Learning objectives? Which subject area/s or discipline/s should be involved? Workplan

6. Agenda: Day 2 Session 4: PBL Activity System Design • Introduction to learning activity design for PBL • Collaboration • Groupwork and Presentation: Activity System Design Session 5: ICT-PBL Integration • Introduction to appropriate online/offline ICT tools/resources for PBL and collaborative learning • Hands-on Activities and Groupwork Session 6: Assessment in PBL • Introduction to assessment in PBL • ICT tools for assessment • Hands-on Activities and Groupwork

7. ICT in Education, APEID UNESCO Bangkok How To DesignProject Based Learning:Activity (System) Design

8. Overview • PBL Activity (System) Design • Lesson plan design • Learning objectives, timeline, instructional strategies, resources, roles • Group work • group presentations (10 minutes max)

9. PBL Activity Design • You are to design an “Activity System”, not just an activity. Learning Materials (textbook, ICT, etc) Teacher Learning objectives Learning outcome Rules of interaction Facilitation Students Roles

10. PBL Activity Design What if you do not pay attention to one or more of the elements? Confusion, frustration, and loads of challenges! Learning Materials (textbook, ICT, etc) Teacher Learning objectives Learning outcome Students Rules of interaction Facilitation Roles

11. STEP 5. Activity System Design (for teachers)

12. Select content area Issue / problem – (gap: status vs desired; entry event/ scenario) What do you want to do about it? (driving question) Project objectives, target audience Target outputs What (general) activities should be done? What skills and knowledge are needed? Roles? Learning objectives? Which subject area/s or discipline/s should be involved? • Workplan: • Specific activities? Dependencies? • Timetable? • Who should be involved? • What resources are needed? • Deliverable at each phase (based on message, target audience, etc.)? • How to assess progress and evaluate achievement of targets?

13. Time frame Phases / Key Steps

14. Students’ Involvement

15. STEP 5. Activity System Design (for teachers) Interim outputs (per project phase)

16. Why Collaborative Learning? Whydo you think working together (collaboration) is an important skill? What would students benefit from working together?

17. Some Benefits of Collaboration

18. Collaboration How?? Contribution of talents / expertise? Combination of ideas? Working together Deciding together? With whom? In what way? To what extent? Delegation of tasks? Provide feedback? Exchange information?

19. In what ways? • Sharing ideas • Research • Peer mentoring • Project management • Producing an output (product or performance) • Collective/Collaborative writing • Campaign/Exhibit materials • Movie production • Etc.

20. In what ways? Implications on types of interactions, resources, roles

21. Challenges in Collaborative Learning What do you think would be the challenges in collaborative learning? Keep monitoring your students’ progress!!!!

22. Principles for Successful Collaborative Learning (with/out ICT) • Have a sound plan! (and talk about it) • Clarify parameters, assumptions, and learning goals • Parameters: participants, processes, timetable, expected outputs • Discuss implications • Pedagogy first then choose technologies!!!! • Set up roles (especially for beginners in PBL) • Discuss and agree on rules of engagement • Agree on evaluation rubrics • Have students reach consensus before taking any action • Encourage participation by showcasing interactions / outputs • Reflection, reflection, reflection! (you and your students)

23. Your Role in Collaboration What would be your role in this kind of collaborative learning?

24. STEP 5. Activity System Design (for teachers) In what ways?
