Introduction to Phoebe A pedagogical planner tool – helping people to design for learning
“Goddess of Wise Counsel, Thoughtful Replies and Snappy Answers” (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/greek-mythology.php?deity=PHOEBE)
Rationale • Make a complex domain accessible to a wider audience • Build on the “Effective Practice” materials • Support current practice while pointing towards the future • Develop new pedagogical approaches while still using familiar planning tools • New LD tools not yet widely used; output code only • Successful IT projects reflect and build on practice
Setting the context ”Every teacher, tutor or instructional designer has his or her individual view on learning, expressed as a ‘pedagogy in use.’ Such a personal theory of learning can be aligned with one, or influenced by many pedagogical theories from literature, but are to a large extent dependent on personal experiences and preferences of learning.” (Magnusson and Svensson, 2001)
Learning design is a complex domain with relatively consistent elements
Learning design is a complex domain with relatively consistent elements • Everybody plans… (in a more or less formal manner) …but processes and outputs may vary
Tool must be informed by current practice to be meaningful • Practitioner informant methodology • Chosen across sectors • Initial interviews • Check ideas • Develop use scenarios • Continuous input • Pedagogy experts forum part of this consultation
The activity • Collecting data on how people plan • Mapping onto the tool • Challenges • Structure - paths • vocabulary
Progress • PI interviews • Scenario development • Prototype development • Content development • Resource identification
