Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Discovering and describing accessible and reusable learning designs (practice models) for higher education By Ron Oliver, Edith Cowan University Allison Littlejohn, University of Dundee

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 identifying the problem

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 learning designs  lesson plans  intended forms of learner engagement  comprising tasks, resources, supports  reusable & sharable

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 current issues with learning designs  difficult to describe  difficult to decontextualise  often described at a macro level  no shared understanding among practitioners  integral to the successful use of LOs

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Discussion: some LD examples? Do you have any examples of strong learning designs that you use in your teaching and learning? Could others could use these learning designs? Post a description of your LD to share with the participants in this discussion. What is needed to enable others to use your learning design to achieve the same outcomes?

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 current development and work  IMS LD specification  LAMS  JISC LADIE  DIALOG Plus  AUTC Project  etc

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Extending reputation 2. What sorts of resources will you share? Example of a learning design: LAMS community

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Extending reputation 2. What sorts of resources will you share? Example of a learning design: AUTC

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Extending reputation 2. What sorts of resources will you share? Examples of a lesson plan : LDLite

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 progress to date  models and language to describe LDs  broad LD descriptions  sample LDs  few reusable and sharable LDs  LOs galore, no glue to bind them

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 strategies to progress aims Building on the LADIE methodology  Top down – capture user needs by documenting learning activities  Bottom up – surveying services, specifications and standards, and potential for integration

Accessible and reusable learning designs: Oliver & Littlejohn Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Discussion: what works for you? Choose which stakeholder group(s) you represent? Practitioners, Educational developers, Technical developers, Information specialists Identify representations that are meaningful to you. Why are they useful? Will current models provide a successful means to map the Practice Models we find? Is anything missing?
