The 7Cs of Learning Design

1. The 7Cs of Learning Design Terese Bird, Gráinne Conole University of Leicester 4th June 2013 National Teaching Fellow 2012

2. Introductions • Say who you are and what you hope to get out of the workshop • During the day add comments to the reflection sheet

3. Outline • An overview of learning design • Activities • Course Features • Resource Audit • Tools to capture, communicate and collaborate • Course Map • Activity Profile • Story board • Evaluation Rubric • Evaluation

4. Learning outcomes • Conceptualise the learning design process from different perspectives • Apply a range of learning design resources, tools and methods to a learning intervention • Critique a range of pedagogical approaches and the role played by different technologies in supporting these • Review and debate the theoretical underpinnings of learning design • Develop an innovative storyboard, learning activities and a structure for implementation

5. Promise and reality Social and participatory media offer new ways to communicate and collaborate Not fully exploited Wealth of free resources and tools Replicating bad pedagogy Lack of time and skills

6. Digital literacy skills Multi-tasking Judgment Performance Collective Intelligence Simulation Transmedia Navigation Appropriation Networking Play Negotiation Distributed cognition Creativity Jenkins et al., 2006 Lisa Marie Blaschke on fb http://edudemic.com/2013/04/important-21st-century-skills/

10. Conceptualise Conceptualise • Vision for the course, including: • Why, who and what you want to design • The key principles and pedagogical approaches • The nature of the learners Course Features Personas

11. Course features http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/5950 • Pedagogical approaches • Principles • Guidance and support • Content and activities • Reflection and demonstration • Communication and collaboration

16. Diagnostic E-Assessment E-Portfolio Reflection & Demonstration Formative Feed forward Summative Reflective Peer feedback Vicarious Presentation

17. Structured debate Flash debate Group project Communication & Collaboration Group aggregation Peer critique Group presentation Group project Question & Answer Pair debate For/Against debate

18. Capture Capture • Finding and creating interactive materials • Undertaking a resource audit of existing OER • Planning for creation of additional multimedia such as interactive materials, podcasts and videos • Mechanism for enabling learners to create their own content Resource Audit Learner Generate Content

19. Communicate Communicate • Designing activities that foster communication, such as: • Looking at the affordances of the use of different tools to promote communication • Designing for effective online moderating Affordances E-moderating

20. Collaborate Collaborate • Designing activities that foster collaboration, such as: • Looking at the affordances of the use of different tools to promote collaboration • Using CSCL (collaborative) Pedagogical Patterns such as JIGSAW, Pyramid, etc. Affordances CSCL Ped. Patterns

21. Consider Collaborate • Designing activities that foster reflection • Mapping Learning Outcomes (LOs) to assessment • Designing assessment activities, including • Diagnostic, formative, summative assessment and peer assessment LOs/Assessment Assessment Ped. Patterns

22. Combine Combine • Combining the learning activities into the following: • Course View which provides a holistic overview of the nature of the course • Activity profile showing the amount of time learners are spending on different types of activities • Storyboard: a temporal sequence of activities mapped to resources and tools • Learning pathway: a temporal sequence of the learning designs Course View Activity Profile Storyboard Learning Pathway

23. Course View Purpose: To start mapping out your module/course, including your plans for guidance and support, content and the learner experience, reflection and demonstration, and communication and collaboration. E-tivityRubric: http://tinyurl.com/SPEED-e5

24. Activity profile • Types of learner activities • Assimilative • Information Handling • Communication • Production • Experiential • Adaptive • Assessment

25. Learning Outcomes Start End Assessment

26. Consolidate Combine • Putting the completed design into practice • Implementation: in the classroom, through a VLE or using a specialised Learning Design tool • Evaluation of the effectiveness of the design • Refinement based on the evaluation findings • Sharing with peers through social media and specialised sites like Cloudworks Implementation evaluation Refinement Sharing

28. Course features http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/5950 • Pedagogical approaches • Principles • Guidance and support • Content and activities • Reflection and demonstration • Communication and collaboration

29. Activity 1: Course Features Purpose: To consider the features you want to include in your module/course, which will determine not only the look and feel of the course, but also the nature of the learners’ experience. E-tivityRubric: http://tinyurl.com/SPEED-e4 Linoitcanvas

30. Activity 2: Resource Audit • Complete the Carpe Diem Resource Audit sheet, indicating which OER you will include and what resources you need to create

31. Activity 3: Tools to capture, communicate and collaborate • A range of tools for capturing resources, and for fostering communication and collaboration will be introduced.

32. Activity 4: Course Map Purpose: To start mapping out your module/course, including your plans for guidance and support, content and the learner experience, reflection and demonstration, and communication and collaboration. E-tivityRubric: http://tinyurl.com/SPEED-e5

33. Activity 5: Activity Profile Purpose: To consider the balance of activity types that will be included in your module/course. E-tivityRubric: http://tinyurl.com/SPEED-e6 ActivityProfile Flash Widget

34. Storyboard Learning Outcomes LO1 LO2 LO3 LO4 Start End Assessment LO1 LO2 LO3 LO4

35. Activity 6: Storyboard Purpose: To develop a storyboard for your module/course in which the learning outcomes are aligned with the assessment events, topics (contents) and e-tivities. E-tivityRubric: http://tinyurl.com/SPEED-e8 LinoitCanvas

36. Storyboard http://linoit.com

37. Activity 7: Rubrics for evaluation Purpose: To devise a set of criteria for evaluating the success of the design in a real learning context • Brainstorming some criteria to evaluate the success of the design in a real learning context • Try and focus on measurable/observable things • Think about what data collection you might use – classroom observation, surveys, interviews • Post its: Things I liked, room for improvement, etc.
