Establishinga framework Stage 1: Research (Feb –June 07) • Review of literature and online repositories • Briefing paper outlining issues and draft conceptual framework Stage 2: Project Team Review (June – Nov 07) • Discussion and refinement of briefing paper Stage 3: Consultation (Dec 07 – June08) • NSW cluster groups; ASCILITE; collegial networks Stage 4: Refinement of Framework/Process (July 08 - present ) • Dialogue within wider collegial networks Stage 5 Publish Review Process (March 09) Nov 08
Challenges: peer review of online role play Emerging area • Innovating in isolation • No agreed peer review framework or processes • Establishing review relationships Role plays are complex to assess/judge • Individual; contextual; developmental; experimental Evaluation benefits from a range of expertise • Discipline, educational development, technology, research Weighing costs v benefits • Workload involved • Return on investment • Avenues for recognition and reward
