John Millner • BBC Learning • What might a digital content format designed for learning look like? • Needs to have: • A [non-linear] structure • progression and signposting • specific learning goals • a learning narrative • opportunities for reflection • Needs to utilise: • the different educational affordances of different digital media • the connectedness of the web • the mobility of learners
John Millner • BBC Learning • Building on the successful Bitesize format..
John Millner • BBC Learning • Utilising the different educational affordances of different digital media.. • (leaning on Laurillard)
John Millner • BBC Learning • The evolving iWonder guide format exemplifies these principles. • Here’s an example:
John Millner • BBC Learning • Responsive design for mobile learning..
John Millner • BBC Learning • Some numbers .. • 250,000 users viewed at least one guide in 2nd week of September • Most popular guide that week was a Key Stage 1 computer science guide with 50,000 unique UK browsers • Next most popular was a guide to taking great photographs of space, with 25,000 unique browsers • iWonder guide What’s wrong with my cake? Attracted 50,000 users in August • And some tweets.. • @BBCiWonder cladistically speaking birds ARE therapod dinosaurs... And we are both weird, dry, landwalking fish. • V. impressed with BBC iWonder, powerfully simple idea, great product realisation, imaginative use of existing assets and resources #class • bbc.co.uk/iwonder - love the style of this microsite; lots of info on nutrition that I will need next academic year for Food DT class • I think I've just fallen in love... with a website... bbc.co.uk/iwonder #ItsLikeMyMind #Addicted @BBCiWonder
John Millner • BBC Learning • iWonder guides: what next? • New features and format variants (eg Timelines) • Explore use of Guides in the formal learning (Bitesize) space • Open up guides to other authors: across BBC, then partner organisations, then learners themselves • Ultimately we’d like iWonder users to be able to publish and share guides with communities of other learners
John Millner • BBC Learning • A guide took my hand • Showed me new a horizon • Left me wondering
