Phoebe: a pedagogical planner tool Marion Manton David Balch TALL, University of Oxford

Phoebe: as a proof of concept Basic concept: An online planning tool to guide practitioners working in post-16 and higher education in designing effective and pedagogically sound learning activities. Instantiation of concept: A tool that propagates the principles of effective practice to as wide an audience as possible, by allowing them to develop new pedagogical approaches while still using the planning tools with which they are familiar. Rationale: We believe that successful innovations in IT reflect, and build on, the ways in which users actually work, rather than requiring them to adapt their practices.

The design challenge “Maybe it’s going to be difficult to develop a single software tool kit that suits everybody’s preferences for planning learning (paper based, software or a mixture of both!) and maybe it could be useful to develop flexible software tools that support teachers through the ‘process’ and stages of designing for learning…” (Teacher in HE)

Design philosophy Principles –Flexible routes through tool –Option to use familiar planning tools –Simple text output Rationale –IMS Learning Design tools in limited use; output XML –Phoebe focus on people not systems

The Phoebe prototype Phase 1: proof-of-concept tool Open source, built on wiki technology –Now available for download Supports planning for individual learning sessions Functions –Guidance, advice and examples –Planning a learning session (not a course)

2 modes of engagement with Phoebe Reference only + optional note-taking (i.e. use ‘own’ tool for planning) Creating all or part of a lesson plan (learning design)

Tagging bin/trac.cgi/wiki/PhoebeTagCloudhttp://phoebe-app.conted.ox.ac.uk/cgi- bin/trac.cgi/wiki/PhoebeTagCloud Currently tagged against links in content Possibility of user tagged content and user tagged designs Appealing to researchers, but less so practitioners

Evaluation conclusions Very positive response from practitioners to overall vision Saw applicability in context of initial teacher training and staff development programmes Not sure if it would work as a self-teaching aid for “lone” practitioners who wish to explore D4L. The guidance and examples appear to meet practitioners’ needs In its present form it functions better as a resource with a note-taking facility than as a usable and useful tool for creating lesson plans. There is considerable interest in the potential of Phoebe as a customisable community-owned tool.

Future directions Resources in Phase 2 concentrate on making Phoebe more usable as a planning tool Must be a place to see and work on Learning design as a whole …although considerable effort is still needed to develop the content…

First ideas for Phase 2 Very much first pass Trying to find an elegant reconciliation between the content and functionality Please let us know what you think…

Phoebe home Start a new design Edit an existing design Explore the guidance A practitioner-focused environment to support design for learning ¶ ¶ Phoebe is a prototype online tool designed to encourage teachers in colleges and universities to explore new approaches and tools in their pedagogy. Why “design for learning?” “Design for learning” is an alternative perspective on practices traditionally referred to as course and lesson planning. It lays emphasis not only on the role of technology in learning, but also on effectiveness: creating designs for experiences that are motivating, enjoyable and productive for students and teaching staff alike. Phoebe brings together the key components of a learning design, prompts your thinking, allows you to record ideas and requirements, and makes it easy to cross-reference components as you design the activities that make up an individual learning experience, or session.
