2. 2 EC SIG 7/12/06 JISC Design for Learning Programme What is it?  2 year project - till May 2008  Part of the pedagogy strand of the JISC eLearning Programme  learning design in wide context - not just IMS LD

3. 3 EC SIG 7/12/06 Exploring the process of designing, planning, sequencing or orchestrating of learning tasks which may include the use of e-Learning tools. practitioner focus to help make effective decisions about the use of e-Learning, help support the effective design and use of learning design tools.

4. 4 EC SIG 7/12/06 Programme Aims To: further develop the community’s understanding of the principles that inform the design of effective learning activities which involve the use of technology.

5. 5 EC SIG 7/12/06 Projects 14 projects in total Models of Practice (1) Pedagogic Planner (2) Implementation Projects (5) Technical Development Projects (4) Support project (CETIS) Evaluation Project (Glenaffric Ltd)

6. 6 EC SIG 7/12/06 Supporting practitioners in producing IMS Learning Designs (LD4P) Led by Liverpool Hope (http://www.hope.ac.uk/ld4p/) Aims  develop an interface to an IMS LD authoring tool suitable for use by teaching practitioners  produce learning designs, investigate sharing Objectives  1. evaluate the RELOAD IMS LD editor with practitioners  2. produce a prototype user interface  3. investigate implementation of the user interface  4. produce IMS LD units of learning in a variety of situations  5. investigate re-use of IMS LD units of learning

7. 7 EC SIG 7/12/06 Constructing2Learn Led by University of Oxford (http://dfl.cetis.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Constructing2Learn) Aims  To explore the promising area of simulations and games in the context of designs for learning.  explore learning designs in which learners collaboratively construct computational objects Objectives  To further develop the open source LAMS Activity Management engine to explore areas that have been highlighted by practitioners as important: conditional workflow and the integration of news tools or services

8. 8 EC SIG 7/12/06 Support Project Provide technical and pedagogic expertise in learning design to the projects and the programme to support the process of design for learning. Enable the sharing of expertise in design for learning, Support the establishment of communities, services and resources to promote and sustain effective practice in design for learning.

9. 9 EC SIG 7/12/06 Some early issues Exemplar designs - differences between ‘inspirational’ and ‘runnable’ designs Representation of designs for practitioners Searching criteria - peer value & FOAF IMS LD way of mapping all representations
