Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre eLearning Special Interest Group meeting Revisiting Learning Design 01/03/2011 Alan Hilliard University of Hertfordshire Beginning to design for e-learning in health and emergency professions www.health.heacademy.ac.uk
Outline • Rationale • Approach to design • Available tools • Future developments http://www.community-learning.org.uk/Index.asp?MainID=5678&PDF=Yes
“A key aspiration is that by 2015 at least 25% of our learning and teaching will be through distance learning”. • University of Hertfordshire’s Strategic Plan 2010 – 2015
Computer Science Model • Asynchronous learning • All resources and activities are available • No interaction between students • Cons • Isolated learner • No Learning community
Post-graduate medical School Model • Collaborative learning focus • Elluminate lectures (6 – 8pm) • Recorded lectures available on StudyNet • Online Tutorial + support sessions • Plenty of discussions on StudyNet
Proposed HEP model Student Engagement / Support 5-credit “topic” 5-credit “topic” 5-credit “topic” Resource - Activity Resource - Activity Resource - Activity Resource - Activity Resource - Activity Resource - Activity Assessment 15 credit module Technology

Approach to design of learning activities • Learners complete learning activities in order to learn • Usually 3 types of activities: • The learner absorbs knowledge by reading or watching • The learner does practice or discovery activities to deepen learning • Learners complete activities designed to connect what they are learning to their lives and work • Horton, W.K.
