1. A Nomadic Model for Communities of Practice in Design for Learning: the JISC eLIDA CAMEL Project Dr Jill Jameson University of Greenwich

2. Learning from: community of practitioners working together on design for learning practical implementation = seedbed for trialling = safe growth

3. Design for Learning benefits of: ‘critical friends’ learning from each other while developing new skills

4. ‘good practice’ is: complex, situated, specific no theory can fully describe it: we know more than we can tell (Polanyi) social process of learning (Vygoksy, Wenger) ‘thick’/’fat’ case studies (Glenaffric) legitimate peripheral participation

5. opportunities of: being supported by mentors in a nomadic programme: visits to support each other and critique D4L practice

6. staff development Web 2.0 learners/ teachers learning design/ designing for learning, leadership communities of e-L practice pedagogical planning tools University of Greenwich & Partners

7. Community of practice in design for learning JISC D4L: JISC infoNet CAMEL www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/camel/index_html JISC-funded eLISA Project www.gre.ac.uk/elisa

8. what’s it about? trialling design for learning sequences in LAMS, Moodle and RELOAD 2006-07 practitioner work and visits ALT, JISC infoNet, CAMEL partners involved

9. implementing & evaluating Learning Design tools: LAMS – case studies, students Moodle- case studies, teachers RELOAD – early trials

10. sharing and developing skills collaborative, open, slowish sharing process of critique trust very important

11. develop skills in design for learning mentor teachers new to e-learning: case studies, discussion outcomes: case studies, evaluation

12. nomadic community of practice practitioners becoming learning designers case studies – individual and collective evaluation and feedback, materials to JISC
