  1. Innovation in Teaching Alan Dix Lancaster University www.hcibook.com/alan

  2. note NOT… presenting best solutions or best practice WILL talk about … reflecting on experience developing solutions

  3. examples ... • driving lesson • p-learning and e-learning • just-in-time theory

  4. driving lesson

  5. what happened • removed external judgement • I didn’t know intention • allowed personal feedback • she did know • enabled “play” and experiment • not goal directed

  6. draw a triangle? repeat 3[forward 50 right 60] LOGO and Papert • simple programming language • plus turtle http://el.www.media.mit.edu/groups/logo-foundation/

  7. Montessori • self correcting materials • instant feedback • no judgement http://www.montessori-ami.org/http://www.modern-montessori.com/

  8. computers • rapid feedback • before bad habits form • e.g. spelling checkers … but not correctors! • low judgement …

  9. computer personality • work at Dundee • questionnaires and interviews • personal questions (medical) • electronic versions • simple questionnaires • keyword based (like Elisa) • the more human-like the better • but better than real human

  10. p-learning and e-learning

  11. p-learning(physical learning) • lectures • tutorials and labs (20-30) • small groups tutorials ? • individual tutorials

  12. p-learning  e-learning • lectures  web • labs  ? • tutorials  bulletin boards & chat • individual  one-to-one email

  13. deconstruction reconstruction deconstruction and reconstruction p-learning e-learning

  14. deconstructionfind the real objectives • lecture • information, motivation, demonstration • group tutorial • collaboration, individual feedback • lab + personal experience, physical materials

  15. reconstruction • potential media & meetings e-learning: web, CD-ROM, video, email, bulletin boards, chat, webcam, streaming video/audio p-learning: weekend course, summer camp, monthly evening meeting, paper materials and books

  16. reconstruction • potential media & meetings e-learning: web, CD-ROM, video, email, webcam, bulletin boards, chat, streaming video/audio p-learning: weekend course, monthly evening meeting, summer camp, paper materials and books • match with objectives e.g. weekend course for motivation, group formation, demonstrations and hands on

  17. just-in-time theory

  18. mini-case studies • context • week-log intensive course • when technology doesn’t work … • analyse why • use it as extended examples

  19. Excel modes • wouldn’t closewhy? • theory: • hidden mode • closure www.hcibook.com/alan/casestudy/excel-mode/

  20. does it work? • weakness • knowing it is ‘teaching’ time • strengths • ‘real’ example • introduces theory when relevant

  21. ecological validity • examples • one issue at a time • a good ‘solution’ • from theory to practice

  22. ecological validity • examples • one issue at a time • a good ‘solution’ • from theory to practice • mini-case study • lots of relevant issues • no easy solution – tradeoffs • from practice to theory

  23. passing on knowledge • case studies, examples, patterns • good for use in practice • but how to generalise • textbooks full of theory! • just-in-time theory • appropriate theory when needed

  24. just-in-time theory • appropriate theory • given when needed • contextualised theory • apply theory in actual context • including trade-offs • situated theory • make new theory if necessary

  25. recap ... • driving lesson • feedback, play and judgement • p-learning and e-learning • metamorphose fundamental learning • just-in-time theory • ecologically valid examples,theory when it matters
