9.  Lots of opportunities  BUT …  Disorganized, disparate, demanding  Design http://www.bargainpoolsupplies.com/images/NT125_RaftCad_beforeafter.jpg 9

10. 10  Things to consider  Learning tasks – Active authentic learning ▪ real problems involving reflective processes ▪ peer feedback, modeling and mentoring  Learning resources for blended learning ▪ e + books, e + journals, e + media ▪ social networking  Learning support ▪ using the tools to manage feedback, exemplars, rubrics

11. 11  Careful design to achieve curriculum alignment  Integration of F-2-F AND technology  Use the MOST appropriate technology (discipline)  Don’t forget research opportunities

12. 12  Use of ICTs  Web 2.0 technologies in particular ▪ Blogs – for reflective writing ▪ Social networking – for communities of practice ▪ Walls, Tagging, Forums  ePortfolios for more flexible assessment artifacts http://www.ethics.org.au/resources/img/general- content/articles/0148b-hammer-cartoon.gif

28.  The student voice (MSc – ICT coordinator)  impact on your learning and class dynamics 28

29.  Primary school ICT coordinator  impact on your learning 29

30.  … when I started this module I thought the assessment was unfair … but, as I undertook the tasks I was reminded of how you always ask us to demonstrate our knowledge. Now I have completed the tasks, built my own learning platform, set up forums, added videos I now have the confidence to develop myself further. Thank you, PL 30

32.  More engaging forms of assessment  More choice in the assessment possible  Better management  Better modeling of assessment requirements  Better evidence of reflective practice  Better engagement  Better motivation  Better use of media to illustrate complex ideas  (good teaching and course evaluations) 32

33.  The need to model ‘academic’ blogging/presentation  Plagiarism – need Turnitin or equivalent  Citations and bibliographies  The effective use of media  The use of visual representations  Students do NOT naturally use learning technologies  These are non-trivial issues  The next slide 33

37.  Some have argued that Web 1.0 environments are passé: Web 2.0 is where the action is! However, what may be more useful is to think of Web 1.0 and 2.0 applications as offering a raft of potential affordances and opportunities. Learning designs that incorporate an LMS/VLE to provide support for scaffolding, grouping and organising learning can be combined with Web 2.0 applications (e.g., for students to share, and collaborate) and ePortfolios. The synergy of these tools offers increased flexibility, manageability and more student-centred learning.  The presentation will examine an outcomes-based approach to learning design and how this may be supported by the synergy of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 applications. 37
