New Approaches to Visualising Learning Designs James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning Centre Of Excellence (MELCOE) Macquarie University Keynote Presentation for 3 rd International LAMS and Learning Design Conference, Sydney, December 5 th, 2008

Overview Open Education LAMS Update –New LAMS International Partner in Signapore – NTU –New LAMS Foundation website –New Features in LAMS V2.2 –Upcoming in 2009 Ideas for new visualisations

Open Education The Cape Town Declaration provides a statement of principles of free sharing for open education – –You can sign up at the website to show your support –NB: Different meaning to distance/flexible education “everyone should have the freedom to use, customize, improve and redistribute educational resources without constraint” –Free to use (no cost) –Freedom to change

Cape Town Declaration:

Open Education & LAMS LAMS is an example of Open Education –LAMS software freely available as open source software –LAMS Community support free sharing of sequences under open content licenses (Creative Commons) Long before the Cape Town Declaration, I felt we needed a new approach to e-learning to allow us to: –Describe and capture good pedagogical approaches –Make these approaches (Learning Designs) shareable –Make it easy to adapt and improve shared approaches –…while avoiding closed software and file formats

LAMS International Partners LAMS International is the services and support company for LAMS –Provides fee-based hosting, technical support, training, etc –NB: No one is required to pay for using LAMS – optional – LAMS International has official partners in several countries –Data Pacific – Japan –Huazhong University – China –Solution Grove – USA

New LAMS International Partner: NTU I’m delighted to announce a new LAMS International partner for Singapore – Nanyang Technological University Builds on several years of collaboration on LAMS, especially integration with Blackboard (many thanks!) “When I heard James Dalziel sharing about LAMS at an eAgenda event, I knew my eyes had seen the future. We have progressed together a long way from then. Today marks a partnership that history may well one day identify as an important milestone in the development of online courseware. We are excited that on that day, NTU and LAMS International forged a partnership.” Professor Daniel Tan, Director of the Centre for Educational Development (CED) at NTU.

New LAMS Foundation website The LAMS Foundation website has been looking a bit tired for some time Despite great work by the LAMS team some time ago (ahem), I hadn’t finalised the new site until this week Better late than never… –

New LAMS Foundation website:

LAMS V2.2 Today is the official release for LAMS V2.2 –Will try for six monthly releases at conferences LAMS V2.0 provides foundations for many years of further LAMS development –New architecture, ground-up rewrite –LAMS Tools Contract LAMS V2.1 illustrates some of the powerful new features that can be built on the V2 foundations –Eg, Branching, Optional sequences

LAMS 2.1: Role play: Inside branching for role tasks

LAMS 2.1: New Optional Sequences - allows students to choose 1 or more sequences

LAMS V2.2 New LAMS V2.2 features include: –Student selected groups –Text-based Conditions for Branching –Individual Gates (individual release & individual Conditions) –Learning Objective/Competency description and mapping to tools Four new activity tools: –Wiki –Data Collection –Google Maps –Online Spreadsheet For more details on these and many more features, see

LAMS 2.2: Learner Selected Groups

LAMS 2.2: Creating Text-based Conditions (Q&A example)

LAMS 2.2: Individual Permission Gate Option (Monitor)

LAMS 2.2: Condition-based Gates

LAMS 2.2: Condition-based Gates – Creating Condition using Wiki output (number of edits)

LAMS 2.2: Condition-based Gates – Mapping Condition to Gate Open/Closed

LAMS 2.2: Creating Competencies/Learning Objectives for a sequence

LAMS 2.2: Mapping specific competencies to individual activities

Upcoming in 2009 LAMS Activity Planner (aka Pedagogic Planner) –Prepared templates based on good pedagogical approaches combined with easy authoring –May be combined with “Cloud LAMS” Integrating LMS tools inside LAMS sequencing –Moodle &.LRN Forum examples so far, more to come LAMS V2.3 (proposed – but no promises!) –Instant Messaging –Export activity results to Gradebooks –Floating activities –Multiple conditions for branching –Tools inputs and outputs (passing data between tools) –New Image gallery tool & SCORM player for Share Resources

New Visualisation Ideas One of the most important dimensions of LAMS is its visual authoring environment –The drag and drop approach to modelling activities has helped educators build engaging sequences of student activities –But even more important, it helps educators reflect on their pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning –For some educators, the experience of visualising Learning Designs appears to help make educational planning more explicit (rather than existing just below consciousness) So where did LAMS authoring come from? –“Creating Next Generation Interoperable Learning Tools” Donna Gibbs and James Dalziel, MQ e-Academy, 19 th July 2002!

New Visualisation Ideas I used drawings in Powerpoint to imagine a new type of e-learning system –I didn’t know it couldn’t be done, so I just drew what I wanted The “box and lines” diagrams have proved very useful for LAMS authors ever since –… but what other visualisations might be useful? Every visualisation is a simplification of the total possible information that could be conveyed –Draws more attention to some aspects, less to others

New Visualisation Ideas In computer programming, there is an approach called “Unified Modelling Language” which use several different visualisations of how software works –Some people have even wanted to use UML for Learning Design, but I feel it is too complex for most educators, but the idea from UML of different visualisations is intriguing Can we imagine new kinds of Learning Design visualisations to complement the “box and lines” diagrams? –Each could draw attention to different aspects of a Learning Design NB: Very early, new ideas – seeking feedback and creativity (I may be the worst person to imagine new visualisations!)

New Visualisation Ideas Some possible new visualisations: –Key content view –Annotation view –Resizable boxes view –Alternative shapes view –Competencies view –Data flow view –Individualised Learners view –Time view –??

New Visualisation Ideas Some possible new visualisations: –Key content view –Annotation view –Resizable boxes view –Alternative shapes view –Competencies view –Data flow view –Individualised Learners view –Time view Just some ideas to spur new thinking and creativity –Can you help develop ideas for useful new visualisations? –You don’t need to be a programmer – just imaginative –… and need I say… no promises (yet) on ideas shown today!
