1. IMS Learning Design at LHU Mark Barrett-Baxendale, Amanda Oddie, Paul Hazlewood Deanery of Business and Computer Sciences Liverpool Hope University

2. Projects JISC LD4P  Developing a user friendly interface for the Reload IMS LD editor.  Practitioners authoring IMS LD JISC D4LD (UK OU)  Improving IMS LD runtime for institutional use JISC DesignShare  Sharing, discovery & re-use of IMS LD

3. D4LD project (run-time) SLeD/Coppercore DesignShare project (discovery and sharing) OpenDocument.net LD4P project (authoring) Reload The Valkenburg architecture (where we fit)

4. Partners: St Helens College, Phosphorix, University of Bolton Practitioners producing IMS LD units of learning with support User interface to Reload for practitioners Sharing IMS LD UoLs in other situations Learning Design for Practitioners

5. Producing designs Practitioner workshops-Reload  Evaluating the software Practitioner draws up LD to level A (sequence/selection, content)  Using Reload Team develops to level B if necessary  Add properties and conditions  Examples: QTI File upload Messaging

6. Prototype user interface Using practitioner feedback to develop designs for a new interface to Reload Bolton to build prototype based on designs Iterative design process  Review with practitioners  Refine designs  Improve prototype

7. Demonstration Current Interface New Designs

8. New interface based on practitioner feedback Original Interface

9. Designs produced by practitioners English Literature Multimedia Psychology St Helens  Creative writing  Science In use with learners

11. Led by UK OU  Partners: OUNL, LHU Preparing SLeD (UK OU) and Coppercore (OUNL) for institutional use  Addressing performance issues  Usability  Improved course and user admin Designing for Learning Design

12. SLeD Usability  Testing units of learning in classroom situations  Gather student feedback on use of SLeD  Compile list of usability issues Coppercore Performance  Monitor issues whilst running of units of learning e.g. Stability Scalability Administration Designing for Learning Design

13. Performance and usability issues identified in earlier project (Slide) were fixed by OU/OUNL at start of project. Currently running modules  no stability issues so far. Future  More units of learning e.g. MSc. Computing Programme in Sept. 07 Second year Computing module Other subjects State of Play
