Learning Design

1. Learning Design For alfanet

2. An overview Today • 9:00 Welcome  • 9:15 What is Learning Design all about? • Short experience • Analysis • Forget about the levels • Seeing is believing • 12:30 – 13:00 Lunch • 13:00 Learning by doing • Case introduction • Course structure • Translation into LD • Tying it together • 17:00 Closing

3. An overview Tomorrow • 9:00 Welcome • 9:15 Dynamics of Learning Design • What are properties • How can properties be used • Example • 12:30 – 13:00 Lunch • 13:00 Learning by doing • Diving into the deep XML sea • 14:30 Looking back • See the results of day 1 • 15:00 Evaluation • Patricia & Leo • 17:00 Closing

4. What is Learning Design all about? • A language to describe education • Curriculum • Course • Lesson • What is it not? • Programming language • A instructional method • A guaranty for good education • Flexible in its presentation • Learner centred

5. We will simulate a short role play Designing a house Roles? Dependencies? Structure Short experience

6. Analysis • Play • Act • Role-parts • Activities (structure) • Sequence • Selection • Environments • Services • E-mail • Conference • Monitor • Play • Properties • conditions

7. Theatre metaphor

8. Forget about the levels • The levels are only useful for technicians not for educators… • But still it helps a little

9. The basics Level AHave your ALFANET editor ready • Three types of activities: • Learning activity • Support activity • Activity structure • Two types of roles • Learner • Staff • The environment • Learning objects • Services

10. Relation • Learning activities • A learner learns by doing activities • Primarily for the learners • Core of the education • Activity structure • Sometimes the activities need to be carried out in a specified order or the learner may choose what to do. • Environment • To perform an activity some materials might be needed • The learner needs to communicate with others • Support activity • Learner or staff with special activity to help (other) learners.

11. The dynamics Level B • Properties can determine how a learner progresses through the course or what is made visible. • Activities • Content within an activity • Completion of activities, acts, play and unit of learning can be made dependable on properties • Services are given extra possibilities • Conditions can depend on Calculations with properties

12. Communication Level C • Notifications inform (someone in) a role that something has happened • Depending on completion of • Some activity • Some condition with properties

13. Seeing is believing Go to: educontent.ou.nl Login with: ou-student1 Pw: student

14. What did you see? Activities • Single activities • Activity structure • Sequence • Structures within structures (nesting) Environment • Learning objects • Nested environments

15. What more did you see? Properties • Fill-in forms Content control

16. And ? Properties • Selection forms Content Types

17. Learning by doing • Now it’s your turn • Take the course outline you are planning to create • Add to that the environments (learning objects and services) • Complete the course till level A

18. LEARNER ENVIRONEMENT TUTOR Platform pre-assessment Detect learning style Introduction Module B Introduction Module A First lesson First lesson validate Second lesson Second lesson Module assessment Module assessment valid Open continuation Course pre-assessment Determine priorities and non obligatory and long/short Select module Nth Module Validate answers, comment, change long/short and self controlled /system controlled Detect overtime, failures First lesson S First lesson L Module assessment Failed Grade and correct Passed, not last module Last module Your course • Course structure • Think of what who needs what at what moment • (Environments) • Do you already have the content? • What content relates to what activity

19. Ready? Create a Package interchange File We send the package to Sage Tomorrow we can see them!

20. Diving into the deep

21. You wanted properties Here they come • Properties come in threes • In the Components • In the Play • In the content

22. In the components • This is the place where the properties are declared

23. Four types of properties • Local properties • Used within the unit of learning • Same for every user in a run • Different for another run • Global properties • Used outside a unit of learning • Defined in one UOL and used in another one • Personal properties • Owned by a person • Can be local or global • Role properties • Owned by a role • Always local
