Outline
• Not a presentation, but a party invite!
• Party games
• What does the Learning Design team at the OU do?
• Plans for LD-CIN
• Plans for external work in the future – workload tool
Not a presentation, but a party invite!
• Set up of an external network - Learning Design Cross Institutional Network (LD-CIN)
• Aim: to create a social place for bashing, mashing and smashing Learning Design initiatives– Bash: creative, collaborative approach– Mash: sharing good practice and adopting new practices– Smash: weeding out initiatives that might not work in your setting
Party games
Learning Design
• A field of educational research and scholarship
• Focuses on designing, describing and sharing of learning activities
• Definitions and approaches around Learning Design vary across institutions
The OU approach to Learning DesignFace-to-face, creative Learning Design workshops ensure that the multi-disciplinary design team is given the time and resource to engage in design for learning discussion and consultation through the curriculum design process.
The OU approach to Learning Design
A set of design templates is used to capture and share the structures and approaches of a unit of learning (rather than unstructured text descriptions). These make the designs more visible and explicit, and can be easily adapted or reused to suit other learning contexts.
The OU approach to Learning DesignAnalytics informs the design of new curriculum. Design data is combined with student satisfaction and performance data to identify the design features that appear to impact most commonly on student experience across the curriculum, including design features that impact on the outcomes of particular student sub-groups.
The OU approach to Learning DesignThese templates are stored in an online repository to promote sharing and reuse.
Learning Design Cross Institutional Network (LD-CIN)
• Open to all, but in particular to institutions that have implemented practical Learning Design initiatives or about to do so
• Main focus on practice
• Regular meetings where members present their work as well as research
• Space for other members to try out practices developed by other institutions (approaches, methods, tools)
Learning Design Cross Institutional Network (LD-CIN)• Agenda to be set by members collaboratively
• Open University will host the space (if required)
• Interested parties to date include Imperial College, NHS Leadership Academy and Edinburgh University
• Jisc involvement?
External work • Workload tool
• Release of Learning Design tools externally
• Workshop materials, evaluation work and consultancy
