Mod4L: representing practice models Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Aims to develop a range of practice models that can be used by practitioners in real life contexts to improve general teaching practice.
Mod4L: representing practice models Scenario 3 Scenario 4 What are practice models? Generic approach to the structuring and orchestration of learning activities. They express elements of pedagogic principle and allow practitioners to make informed choices.
Mod4L: representing practice models Scenario 3 Scenario 4 To be effective: Practice models need to be: representations of effective practice (signify successful instances of good practice), effective representations of practice (have high impact on practice)
Mod4L: representing practice models Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Representing effective practice Grounded in authentic practice: Case studies – from practitioners and existing collections, eg. JISC effective practice, JISC innovative practice, LADIE Learning designs – from practitioners and existing collections, eg. LAMS, IMS, Smart Learning Designs
Mod4L: representing practice models Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Effective representations of practice Challenges: Owned by the community – the focus of active collaboration and interaction Different user communities find different types of representation meaningful – roles, level, discipline, etc Construction of representations may be difficult – eg. richly contextualised vs. generic for sharing and reuse.
