"Challenge and change in curriculum design process, communities, visualisation and practice across six universities. " This is an edited version of the OULDI-JISC Institutional Story (Final Report) from the Open University. (Please refer to the full report for complete references). Contents The aim of the OULDI-JISC project was to implement, evaluate and revise a range of learning design tools, approaches and resources that had been developed for the enhancement of formal and informal curriculum design practice.
Due to the scale, duration and impact of the project, it represents an important contribution to what has been a four year period of significant change in how ‘design’ is theorised, understood and practised in the HE sector. Processes and workshops to support design new representations of curriculum designs online social space for sharing learning design experiences software for visualising student learning experience/teachers designs environments to promote communities of practice.
Strategies for Curriculum Development. Previous: PRODUCTION OF DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES Up: PRODUCTION OF DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES Next: Features of Development Systems Previous Page: PRODUCTION OF DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES Next Page: Features of Development Systems The most successful distance learning institutions, such as the Open University, have put great stress on careful development of curriculum material. This appears to be the price factor in their success.
There is, however, little empirical information that compares different strategies for development. Within institutions such as Open University full scale development strategies have been pursued. This is difficult for many teachers, administrators, and professors to understand, because often there is little attention paid to curriculum development, particularly in United States Universities.
Where there are more formal methods of curriculum development, we find that these methods are often influenced by theories of learning. Www.open.ac.uk/foi/pics/d104774.pdf.

Penny Hoy-Mack Adult Education Tutor, Open Polytechnic, New Zealand Abstract Workplace assessment (WPA) of New Zealand's National Qualifications Framework (NQF) competencies has become a significant alternative pathway for vocational adult education.
This article reports on a research project which compares stated intentions for workplace assessment with evidence of its practical realization. Three areas of the research project are discussed in this article. Www.competenz.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Assessor-Guide.pdf. Undergraduate Engineering Assessment Resources - BMF Wiki.

Three generations of distance education pedagogies. Three generations of distance education pedagogy | Anderson. Special Issue - Connectivism: Design and Delivery of Social Networked Learning Terry Anderson and Jon Dron Athabasca University, Canada Abstract This paper defines and examines three generations of distance education pedagogy. Unlike earlier classifications of distance education based on the technology used, this analysis focuses on the pedagogy that defines the learning experiences encapsulated in the learning design. The three generations of cognitive-behaviourist, social constructivist, and connectivist pedagogy are examined, using the familiar community of inquiry model (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) with its focus on social, cognitive, and teaching presences. Although this typology of pedagogies could also be usefully applied to campus-based education, the need for and practice of openness and explicitness in distance education content and process makes the work especially relevant to distance education designers, teachers, and developers.

Ways of Effectively Leveraging your SME when developing e-learning. I write this blog because I'm a little upset about the fact that we used our SME as a glorified proofreader in a recent module, than someone who could actually provide shape to the learning and its activities. I've been thinking all night about what we could have done and should do in future to use our SME(s) more effectively. Here are a few thoughts and I write it from the perspective of what a client would like a professional e-learning consultant to do: Do your homework An SME is likely to be quite passionate about their topic. If you've had some material from them about the topic you're designing for, go through it and try to do as much research as you can, before you first meet them.
In fact a lot of this starts even before you get any training material from your SME's. Understanding your customer starts from the moment you know that you're going to work with them. Start with the big picture Demonstrate your understanding Draw, don't type Action Map, don't Scope Storyboard, don't script. The Agile Elearning Design Manual - Think Small (Iterations, Action Maps, Storyboards, and Mini-Modules)
We explored the waterfall approach towards elearning development in a prior post of this series. As you will notice in the above representation of the model, the issues are: Too much time gets spent in upfront design and planning when all of this is quite likely to change. Customers get to see working elearning pretty late in the process - as a consequence we run the risk of an endless cycle of amendments. Actual deployment takes months from actual initiation of the project - this delays learner feedback, which is key to evolving the training content and increasing effectiveness.Can we reduce flab in our analysis and design phase? Can we create more opportunities for customer feedback? Run Shorter Sprints - Be Iterative Please refer the diagram above.
The Elearning Inception The Elearning Inception is a visioning exercise cum training analysis phase. As I've mentioned earlier, I am a devotee of Cathy Moore's Action Mapping approach.

Instructional Design Documents « Design Doc. This blog recently went through a name change, from “Talking and Typing About…” to “DesignDoc”. One interpretation of “DesignDoc” is a formal outline of what will be developed for a course, as in an Instructional Design Document. This document can be used to map out what will be developed and is often used as an agreement of work to be done before development starts. My experience has been that every workplace has its own version, requirements, and format, but the elements are pretty consistent. What are the main components? A design document for an online course or module might contain items from the following list: What’s missing? Please reply with any recommendations you have for adding to this list.
