1. Experience of using IMS Learning Design in Higher Education Mark Barrett-Baxendale, Paul Hazlewood, Amanda Oddie Deanery of Business and Computer sciences Liverpool Hope University

2. What we’ve done Implement IMS Learning Design in a real HE context  Installed CopperCore and SLeD  Developing and running courses using IMS Learning Design  Tutor(s) drawing up and using LD with support Technical and user evaluation with a second year HE module: Design and Implementation of Multimedia

3. Technical Coppercore 2.2.3 and SLeD 2.0 installed on Linux with PostgreSQL

4. The Learning Designs Level B Used properties to control progress  Tutor monitors activities and allows to progress QTI Group work  Create-new

5. Issues Performance Usability of the LD player Setting up LDs Collaborative authoring a UoL Granularity of LD Lack of flexibility of LD run

6. Findings to date Student  Positive about IMS LD Staff  Positive about IMS LD  Correlation between teaching practice and IMS LD  Lack of appropriate editing tools Technical  Usability issues  Performance issues

7. Usability Form submission- button for each field is a problem Feedback Viewing activity description alongside content Learner presented with LD hierarchy/terminology- confusing? SLeD- some usability issues  Need more control over presentation (learner and tutor)

8. What next? Will develop this system  Some institutional commitment – funded to continue Use with other modules - build up experience with LD  A number of modules at Masters level inc. Multimedia, Web Technologies.  PBL Disseminate/promote across university  Want to expand to non-technical subjects.  Provide support across the university  Develop the user admin
