The T5 Instructional Design Model Kevin Harrigan, Tom Carey, Diane Salter University of Waterloo Goals for a new instructional design model Components of the T5 model Technology infrastructure Resources for learning task designb Learning object re-use as a socio-technical issue
Goals for a new design model Assume/embed re-use of learning objects Focus on learning activities, supported by subject content Model on-campus [classroom] and online courses Encourage rethinking of learning process & roles increase ROI through learning productivity emphasize performance support, not info system Maintain faculty ‘ownership’ of learning design Scaffold transition from concept to design
Components of the T5 Model Objectives Assessment Learning Tasks Deliverables Feedback Topics Tools Learning objects = task environments, topics, tools, frameworks Tutoring [ supply side] Teamwork
UWOnE Learning Management System Content management system Learning task design tool Units of study [model + links] Learning task management tool Curriculum [objectives, assessment] Repositories [topics, tools] Learner profiles, dossiers, etc. Learning management system Task repositories [models, exemplars, frameworks, etc.]
UWOnE Learning Management System Where are we? F02 – V0.8; W03 – V0.9; S03 – V1.0 Learning Task Design Tool (Homegrown) –F02: Moving to IST production system and versioning (2.2) –W03: Enhancements and prototype new interface Learning Task Management Tool –Delivery system (Homegrown) As with Learning Task Design Tool above –Underlying vendor tool sets F02: Blackboard in use; Prototyping Angel integration W03: migrate from Blackboard to Angel –Locally developed tool set (“CM Tools”, primarily DE) W03: co-development with DE to better integrate
UWOnE Learning Management System Where next and other factors? Connection to campus information systems –No true integration; work towards automation in F02/W03 Standards –IMS; will help with compatibility and sharing issues –OKI nears first release; will eventually help with interfacing to campus systems, and “plug’n’play” for LMS tool sets Content Management Systems –Various formats, versions, access, etc.; IMS data standards; OKI will help with interfaces –Currently, our own (database and file system), as most LMS –LT3 and others will investigate

Guidelines for Re-usable Learning Activity Objects Technical: modular for inter-operability Subject: consistent domain knowledge, cohesive activity Instructional: coherent design of learner activity Cultural: fits with context for re-use Similar for Frameworks for Learning Activity Objects “Re-use is a social and technical issue”
