  1. Needs analysis and technology review early activities in Embedding Learning Technologies Stephen BostockAdvisor for Technology and LearningKeele Universitys.j.bostock@keele.ac.uk

  2. Summary of Analysis phase • Overview • Needs Analysis • Document needs • Reviewing a learning technology • SWOT analysis • Selecting a learning technology • Frameworks for selection • Including cost considerations • Summarise as a Statement of Purpose • Continuing professional development plan

  3. IT project 1. Feasibility 2. Analysis of requirements 3. Design 4. Build and test 5. Installation & maintenance 6. Evaluation ELT project 1. (Initiation) 2. Analysis IT review Selection of LT 3. Design 4. (Build and test) 5. Implementation with students or clients 6. Evaluation 7. Disseminated Rough stages of projects

  4. Some issues • A wide range of staff including support staff • Different disciplines and students/clients • Range of technical abilities • Range of educational perspectives • Projects may involve software development, or not • Participants may come with a project in mind or not • Mapping ELT outcomes onto all projects • The order of activities is not simple • ELT Dissemination Outcome is often late • There are many sources of ideas on analysis

  5. Getting started: initiation Write a statement of purpose Analysedopportunities and constraints in using C&IT- understand the problem Conducted a review of C&IT in learning and teaching and shown an understanding of the educational processes - generate solutions Selected C&IT appropriate to the learning situation – the first design decision

  6. Initiation Participant may come with a project, prompted by • Course reviews • Exposure to a technology or • Seeing other courses using a technology External pressures such as • The need for new courses • Increased student numbers • The need to reduce costs, or • (worse) A policy to use learning technology. Or a project may not be obvious …

  7. Initiation: Introductions to learning technology Awareness of common problems and their learning technology solutions • Workshops on main types of learning technology • An introduction to learning technology within tertiary education in the UK, Ed. Seale J.and Rius-Riu M. for ALT 2001 • LTDI materials ed. Stoner G., 1997 especially What is learning technology and BRITE ideas • CTI briefing sheets 1999 • Video: Technology in teaching and learning, Southampton • Recommended book: Integrating technology in learning and teaching 2000 Maier P. and Warren A.

  8. Initiation: Identifying a concern (adapted from Kemmis and McTaggart, 1988) • What issues, problems or opportunities concern you now? About • Teachers • Students • Subject matter • Context • Identify a theme and then elaborate it • Make a preliminary assessment
