Emily Pilloton: Teaching design for change | Video on TED.com - 2 views

  •  
    Process directives:   1. Design through action        2. Design with (people), not for (clients) - design comes from within   3. Design systems, not stuff - not about making change but creating the conditions in which change is possible and the incentive to want to make change.   4. Document, share, measure   5. Start locally, scale globally   6. Build

Designing Courses with a Progression of Learning Experiences | Faculty Focus - 1 views

  • students engaged, interacting and learning the content collectively
  • working with others—how disagreements can be handled constructively, how work can be divided equitably, how the group can influence what individual members do.
  • the order in which they’re experienced matters. Each experience should build on what happened in the previous one.

    "March 21, 2012 Thinking Developmentally: Designing Courses with a Progression of Learning Experiences By: Maryellen Weimer, PhD in Teaching Professor Blog Add Comment Thinking developmentally is one of those instructional design issues that we don't do often enough. We understand that different learning experiences are appropriate for students at different levels. We expect a higher caliber of work from seniors than from those just starting college. But how often do we purposefully design a progression of learning experiences?"

Designing Online Courses with Course Updates in Mind | Faculty Focus - 1 views

  •  
    "March 1, 2011 Designing Online Courses with Course Updates in Mind By: Patti Shank, PhD, CPT in Online Education Add Comment Online courses are rarely "done." Over time, things change, including the curriculum and content (because of changes in the field and changes to available content) and the technologies (ways that the content can be delivered and tools for interacting with it and with others in the courses, including you). Bottom line: Just like initial course development, updating courses can be quite a lot of work. You can reduce the hassles and work (but not eliminate them) by designing your online courses with updating them in mind. That is, design so that updating is built into the process, not tacked on as an afterthought. Identify change-likely elements"

Creating Social Presence in Online Environments Steven R. Arago - 3 views

  •  
    Strategies for Creating Social Presence This section examines strategies that will help establish and maintain social presence within online environments. In this section, I offer strategies for the three groups of individuals involved with the three functions of these environments: (1) course designers (course design), (2) instructors (delivery and management), and (3) participants (participation). In reviewing the literature, the main responsibility for creating social presence is placed on the instructors. However, based on my personal experience as an online course designer and online course participant, I contend that the responsibility for establishing and maintaining social presence extends beyond the role of the instructor

  • Design assessments first.
  • Don’t let the “objectives” obscure the point.
  • No tool will take your content-heavy slides and turn them into an engaging, interactive eLearning experience.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Design is finished when there’s nothing left to take out
  • There is no such thing as fidelity.
  • Beware of Clicky-Clicky-Bling-Bling (CCBB) design.
  • Learn to say “No.”
  • Instruction does not cause learning.

Personal Learning Environments: Challenging the dominant design of educational systems - 1 views

  • To support effective organization of information, mechanisms of flexible tagging should be combined with list creation and sharing facilities
  • Smart groups are used extensively in products such as iTunes [21] and enables organisation to structure itself based on simple user-provided rules
  • more value can be obtained by the user when the information of services is combined to enable sorting, filtering and searching
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • ather than relying on services to offer a very detailed set of metadata using a common profile, systems will instead need to offer greater capability for managing either heterogeneous information or operate on a very limited set of information which can be commonly assumed, such as titles, summaries, and tag
  • While the contexts of formal education systems can be characterized as having bounded variety (e.g., a course typically has around 20-2000 members) and possessing rigid boundaries, general social systems used in informal learning can possess more diverse levels of variety
  • Connecting with very large contexts using a PLE poses both a technical and a usability challenge, as it will not be possible to absorb all the information within the context into an environment to be operated upon locally, nor is it feasible to present users with flat representations of contexts when they contain thousands of resources
  • ilter the context to reduce the amount of visible users and resources based on the declared interest of the user.
  • it remains unclear what mechanisms can underpin the coordination of collective actions by groups and teams within a PLE.
  • the PLE is not a single piece of software, but instead the collection of tools used by a user to meet their needs as part of their personal working and learning routine
  • the characteristics of the PLE design may be achieved using a combination of existing devices (laptops, mobile phones, portable media devices), applications (newsreaders, instant messaging clients, browsers, calendars) and services (social bookmark services, weblogs, wikis) within what may be thought of as the practice of personal learning using technology

  • So how will the PLE and the VLE design co-exist
  • whereby VLE products start to open their services for use within the PLE.
  • LE are incorporated into the VLE, yet along the way robbing them of some of their transformative power.
  • The VLE is by no means dead, and those with investments in this technology will attempt to co-opt new developments into the design in order to prolong its usefulness
  • PLE model will develop in sophistication, making the VLE a less attractive option, particularly as we move into a world of lifelong, lifewide, informal and work-based learnin
  • Within the field of education technology, the focus in recent years has been on the improvement of the technology of the virtual learning environment (VLE, also known as a Learning Management System, or LMS) with software and techniques that do not fit the general pattern of capabilities of a VLE being largely marginalized

6 Easy Steps to Online Success -- Campus Technology - 3 views

  •  
    "The online Master of Education program in instructional design and technology at my school, West Texas A&M University, has more than doubled its admissions during the last two years, even as similar programs nationwide have struggled. This is because we consistently honor six very simple practices in every course in the program. During my career as a senior instructional designer at Microsoft and Boeing, these practices were universal for online instruction. I have been shocked to learn how many online college courses incorporate none of them. So, with apologies, here we go:"

    This article discusses research on students' ability to read text presented online. It provides some good food for thought in designing our courses, especially the content-heavy courses. Should we be encouraging more page breaks? What do you think?
