  1. Designing Learning Programs

  2. Topics • Components of a learning program • Defining the purpose and focus • Specifications of a learning program • Scope and breadth • Identifying the target audience • Learning styles • Pedagogical approaches • Delivery models • Learning Design • Resources • Assessment strategies • Reviewing a learning program

  3. Case Study A local business needs to develop the skills of its clerical staff. There are 30 staff and you have been asked to develop a learning program for them. The manager cannot release them to attend classroom delivery. The company has identified that they require the following content in the program: • Communication skills • Managing a budget • Managing meetings i.e. setting agendas, note taking etc They also would like this program to align to a qualification.

  4. What are the components of a learning program?

  5. Components of a learning program • Competencies to be addressed • Learning outcomes • Learning resources and activities • Number and duration of training sessions • Delivery methods • Assessment

  6. Defining the purpose and focus • How would you define the purpose and focus of a learning program

  7. Specifications of a learning program • The National Training Information Service (NTIS) • Course Information Documents Online • Other sources?

  8. Scope and breadth What types of learning programs do we design?

  9. Target audience • What do you have to know?

  10. Analysing the target audience • age range • gender mix • cultural backgrounds • ability/disability • access to technology • educational experience • related work experience • full or part time study: part time • employment status: mainly employed fulltime • language, literacy and numeracy levels • technology literacy

  11. Analysing the target audience • age range: 16 to 55 • gender mix: 30% Male 70% Female • cultural backgrounds: 60% Australian, 20% Chinese, 10% Lebanese, 10% Indonesian • ability/disability: no significant disabilities • access to technology: all have access to PC/laptops • educational experience: 20% have a certificate 111 or higher • related work experience: 40% more than 10 years experience • full or part time study: part time: Need to study part time • employment status: mainly employed fulltime • language, literacy and numeracy levels: average levels, some issues with literacy • technology literacy: most are component.

  12. Learning Styles • What are the different way people learn? • What is Kolb’s Theory? • Kirkpatrick’s Model? • Go to Learning Styles

  13. Pedagogical approaches • Learning has moved for the theories of behaviourism to constructivism and connectivism • Facilitating the learning experience • Learning by doing

  14. Delivery models • Group/individual • Workplace • Simulated • Face-to-face • Online • Lock step • Project based • Blended

  15. Learning design • Sequence of collaborative of learning activities • Can incorporate single learner content, but also collaborative tasks such as discussion, voting, small group debate, etc • Can be stored, re-used, customised

  16. Examples • Co-authoring • Problem solving • Research • Community building • Conversation • Knowledge sharing • Mentoring • Peer review • Reflection • Resource making • Resource sharing

  17. Resourcing a learning program • Need to be a aware of what is available • Available resources

  18. Assessment strategies • Direct observation • Structured activities • Questioning • Portfolios • Product review • Third party feedback

  19. Reviewing a learning progam • Questionnaire • Mapping tool • Checklist • Focus group • Structured interview • Who should be involved?

  20. How do you do it? • Preparation and research • Chunk the content of a program into a learning sequence/s • Design the learning activities • Develop the assessment

  21. Activity • Working in groups and using the template provided develop a learning program for the proceeding case study.

  22. Summary • Components of a learning program • Defining the purpose and focus • Specifications of a learning program • Scope and breadth • Identifying the target audience • Learning styles • Pedagogical approaches • Delivery models • Learning Design • Resources • Assessment strategies • Reviewing a learning program
