  1. Yishay Mor, Brock Craft ALT-C, Sept. 2012 Learning Design: mapping the landscape

  2. The 30sec version • Learning design - the solution to world hunger. • We had a great workshop in London last October. • All the workshop contributions are available at ld-grid.org/workshops/ASLD11 • Our review / summary paper is at researchinlearningtechnology.net/index.php/rlt/article/view/19196/html

  3. So, what shall we talk about? • What is this Learning Design thing you mention? • Why should I bother? • What are the big issues? • Where do I go from here?

  4. Learning Design is.. Learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning Acquiring new, or modifying existing,  knowledge, behaviors,  skills, values, or  Preferences. May involve synthesizing different types of information. Design http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design the creation of a plan or convention  for the construction of an object or a system.

  5. Learning – is.. • A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.Tom M. Mitchell, 1997

  6. Learning := Acquiring new, or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences. May involve synthesizing different types of information. A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E. Tom M. Mitchell, 1997 Making meanings (references, connections, constructs) from text (systems of signs) in context (material, social) (Lemke; Kress; others)

  7. Learning: what? • About • Physiology, anatomy, pharmacy • To do • Diagnose, treat, monitor • To be • A medical doctor, nurse, paramedic

  8. Learning: how? • From • Teachers, More capable peers (MCPs), Books.. • With • Self, peers, MCPs... • By • Reading, Reciting, Attending, Practising, Doing, Making, Designing..

  9. Design := the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system. everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into desired ones (Simon, 1969) Objects with intent Bad design is.. just letting things happen. John Hockenberry (ted.com) Conversation with the materials of a situation Donald Schon a mutual learning process between users and designers Pascal Béguin

  10. Craft = making stuff Design = making stuff better • Value driven • Change oriented • Functionally organised • Context dependent • Representation sensitive • Iterative • Responsive • Creative • Deliberate • Social Change in context Changin' context (Luckin) Objects that change practice

  11. Utility, firmness, delight(Utilitas, firmitas, venustas) - Vitruvius* • Utility • Functional, existing states → desired • Firmness • Deliberate • Laurillard: teachers as design scientists • Design inquiry • Delight • Are we having fun? *: HT Mike Sharples

  12. Why bother? Education is.. • Knowledge transmission • Behaviour modulation or - • Designed learning: Creating the opportunities for learners to achieve their objectives in a complex, dynamic, challenging environment.

  13. Learning Design := The deliberate creative practice of devising new practices, plans of activity, resources and tools aimed at achieving particular educational aims in a given situation.

  14. the issues • Representations • capturing context, imagining change • musical score, architectural drawing, LD … ? • Methods • Firmness, taming complexity • Practices • Teachers as learning designers, learners as designers of own learning. • Tools • For all of the above

  15. Need ... • Design for learning design • A design science of learning design
