1. Innovation in Teaching Alan Dix Lancaster University www.hcibook.com/alan

2. note NOT… presenting best solutions or best practice WILL talk about … reflecting on experience developing solutions

3. examples... driving lesson p-learning and e-learning just-in-time theory

4. driving lesson

5. what happened removed external judgement – I didnt know intention allowed personal feedback – she did know enabled play and experiment – not goal directed

6. repeat 3 [forward 50 right 60] LOGO and Papert simple programming language plus turtle http://el.www.media.mit.edu/groups/logo-foundation/ draw a triangle?

7. Montessori self correcting materials instant feedback no judgement http://www.montessori-ami.org/ http://www.modern-montessori.com/

8. computers rapid feedback – before bad habits form – e.g. spelling checkers … but not correctors! low judgement …

9. computer personality work at Dundee – questionnaires and interviews – personal questions (medical) electronic versions – simple questionnaires – keyword based (like Elisa) – the more human-like the better – but better than real human

10. p-learning and e-learning

11. p-learning (physical learning) lectures tutorials and labs (20-30) small groups tutorials ? individual tutorials

12. p-learning e-learning lectures web labs ? tutorials bulletin boards & chat individual one-to-one email

13. deconstruction and reconstruction p-learning e-learning deconstructionreconstruction

14. deconstruction find the real objectives lecture information, motivation, demonstration group tutorial collaboration, individual feedback lab + personal experience, physical materials

15. reconstruction potential media & meetings e-learning: web, CD-ROM, video, email, bulletin boards, chat, webcam, streaming video/audio p-learning: weekend course, summer camp, monthly evening meeting, paper materials and books

16. reconstruction potential media & meetings e-learning: web, CD-ROM, video, email, webcam, bulletin boards, chat, streaming video/audio p-learning: weekend course, monthly evening meeting, summer camp, paper materials and books match with objectives e.g. weekend course for motivation, group formation, demonstrations and hands on

17. just-in-time theory

18. mini-case studies context –week-log intensive course when technology doesnt work … –analyse why –use it as extended examples

19. Excel modes wouldnt close why? theory: –hidden mode –closure www.hcibook.com/alan/casestudy/excel-mode/

20. does it work? weakness –knowing it is teaching time strengths –real example –introduces theory when relevant

21. ecological validity examples – one issue at a time – a good solution – from theory to practice

22. ecological validity examples – one issue at a time – a good solution – from theory to practice mini-case study – lots of relevant issues – no easy solution – tradeoffs – from practice to theory

23. passing on knowledge case studies, examples, patterns – good for use in practice – but how to generalise – textbooks full of theory! just-in-time theory – appropriate theory when needed

24. just-in-time theory appropriate theory – given when needed contextualised theory – apply theory in actual context – including trade-offs situated theory – make new theory if necessary

25. recap... driving lesson –feedback, play and judgement p-learning and e-learning –metamorphose fundamental learning just-in-time theory –ecologically valid examples, theory when it matters
