Learning Development Cycle - 1 views

  • Effective learning design is no longer a formulaic process. It’s a rich engagement of learners and their needs.
  • Courses and programs are no longer the only design objects for learning designers. Designers must shift their attention to the more ambiguous, tumultuous learning environment in which learners now function. Designers no longer create only instruction sequences. They must create environments, networks, access to resources, and increase the capacity of learners to function and forage for their own knowledge.

  • learning design” will be used in place of instructional design
  • The starting point of learning design is to evaluate the existing views of learning types, learning theories, and design approaches. An integrated or holistic view of the diverse learning landscape permits designers and educators to select appropriate models for appropriate means.
  • Connectivism Connectivism as a learning theory provides insight into the dynamics of networks, environments, and ecologies in relation to accretion learning. It consists of the following principles: Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. Learning may reside in non-human appliances. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known. “Know where” replaces “know what” and “know how”. Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities. Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

    "Our learning institutions have been created in the spirit of research and openness, yet they have acquired their own neurotic tendencies. Most notable is the strong reaction to change in the classic models of distributing learning. Models of courses, programs, and degrees are still central, even though technology and new needs on the part of learners are creating a climate that requires a more dynamic alternative. "

    Wiki version (and PDF) from George Siemen's research into how emergent technologies impact the ways we transmit, [process and make sense of information for learning including models for managing change and adaptation. 'How is education to fulfill its societal role of clarifying confusion when tools of control over information creation and dissemination rest in the hands of learners, contributing to the growing complexity and confusion of information abundance?' Siemens

    '…I think most educators do have the desire to be excellent instructors that's why we got into this field in the first place some of us aren't here because we're hoping to get rich we have a genuine passionate commitment to students. It's the roles of managers to create an environment where that natural desire that teachers have to deliver excellent level of instruction can be nurtured. That requires removing barriers it does require building skills and extending an instructor competence so they can do the things that they want to do. That's why I refer to an ecology being created by management so that instructors can do what they want to do I am quite convinced if management plays a role of removing rather that becoming barriers then the people hired by the organisation in the first place will be well capable in achieving the objectives that are required…''…I think most educators do have the desire to be excellent instructors that's why we got into this field in the first place some of us aren't here because we're hoping to get rich we have a genuine passionate commitment to students.
