Presentation transcript:

Rebecca Galley, Learning and teaching development officer, Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University Collaborative activities for curriculum design

Three Principles The use of representational frameworks as a means of describing learning activity Mechanisms to encourage the sharing and discussing of learning and teaching ideas The development of empirical research and conceptual tools to help guide the decision-making process

Representational frameworks Allow for scrutiny of one aspect or level of the curriculum (whilst ignoring others) Make the structures of intended teaching and learning more visible and explicit, thereby promoting understanding and reflection Highlight connections and relationships (or lack of) between pedagogical features Provide a shared language so that individuals or small teams can better discuss and share designs

Design is a messy, creative and interactive process... "It's not in one direction. Not sure if I always start with aims, sometimes I do! Broad aims then thinking about the mix, go to the palette and look at existing resources, what will the budget allow us to do (Chair's hat on), what additional resources do we need, which would be most effective...sometimes start with study guide, then with activities...it's chicken and egg "

...which calls for a number of different representations to foreground different aspects of the 'master' design Design is a messy, creative and interactive process...

Sharing and discussing "Thank you for running a whole day event. I think we needed this time to really become familiar with the motivation and nature of the course and to develop close cross-curricular links with other colleagues, a secondary but immensely valuable side product" When asked what they think would most help improve their practice, practitioners often say they want examples from others and access to a network of practitioners to share and discuss ideas

Design Activities are developed to build engagement and stimulate and focus design dialogues Social networks and collaborative online workspaces allow for ongoing discussion, debate and development of practice Workshops provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary staff to come together, spend time designing and share expertise

Empirical evidence and conceptual tools Primarily drawn from the OULDI-JISC work but also include related useful tools and resources produced by others working in the learning design field All of the tools have been rigorously tried and tested across a variety of learning and teaching contexts All of the tools are openly available in the Learning Design Toolbox in Cloudworks

Workshop activity LFramework/

Scenario and activity As part of your institution's widening participation strand, you have been asked to design an optional 'Study skills/ Preparing to learn' module. This module will be offered to all students approaching level 1 HE/ level 4 FE and recommended to those who feel themselves to be less confident about study at a higher level. The module will worth 10 credits (100 hours of study) and will be delivered over the summer break using a 'Blended Learning approach' Design problems include: potentially high student numbers, study planned for the summer break, students at risk of not completing, mixed experience of learning and technology, low learning confidence/resilience...etc etc
