Desso put me onto this one from Terry Mayes & Sara de Freitas. (43 pdf pages)
PDF from the "V"
This is Stage two... I'm wondering what stage 1 was? A need to here..
1. A pedagogical design framework for e-learning
Are there models of e-learning? What do these look like? Or are the the old rapped into a wolfs clothing?
Why use e-learning? What is it's purpose? Does this help/hinder/change learning/outcomes? Does e-learning make/change effective assessment? Does all of this add value anywhere and to anyone/whom? Does this offer/demand a new teaching method?
2. E-learning theories, frameworks, models and taxonomies
... I'm thinking here... Why call a programme Certificate in Applied Technology when anything other than Applying Technology is not the main focus?... good point... try asking staff who teach on this what is their main focus?... I'm thinking that might be a good one to start with...
E-learning = What? ... The use of technology( by who? learner or teacher or both?) to enhance learning practice.
Theories of learning = Stuff which best explains how learning might/should happen.
Pedagogical framework = principles, these may be broad, by which the theory is then applied to learning/teaching.
Models of e-learning = where technology is used in a specific role in supporting teaching/learning.
Taxonomy = mapping the theories of learning, the pedagogical frameworks, and the models of e-learning.
All in all this means you need to make sense of the above by putting this into a table that best show interconnections and relationships...
3. Alignment principle in educational design
The living curriculium we teach, teaching methods we use, learning environments we use, the assessment procedures we adopt... Wait a moment this is all from the we (royal we) perspective... what about the student? Is this alignment or is this mis-alignment?... Ummmm...
How can we ask anyone to adopt e-learning without first unpacking the boxes.... ???? good question... What's the answer??? What might be in the boxes that need unpacking???
Imagine coming into a room for the first time and then being told to unpack and layout the new furniture in an organised format that will best suit e-learning... What's e-learning dude?
around page 6
Constructivist alignment... I know when my cars wheel alignment is out, I can feel it through the steering wheel, see it in the tyre wear pattern, yet I choose to keep driving with it in that state, only when someone mentions that they think I should get it seen to do I motivate myself to do something about it....well I'm mentioning to some, but not all, that there is a divide between the teaching and learning, this needs to be look at, and we all need to have a serious look at how we teach and how students learn.
Taking stock is generally a good place to start, but in this case I'm thinking that it is not. Design decisions about how we are to embrace e-learning need to be investigated.
What are the underlying assumptions about e-learning?
Now adopt teaching methods that align with these assumptions.
What theory of learning have I adopted???????? good question.
Community of Practice... Apprenticeship model... conversational model...emhasis on the individuals relationship with a group of people rather than the relationship of an activity itself to the wider practice, even though it is the practice itself that identifies the community... sort of a circular thingy a happening here...
learning as behaviour
learning as the construction of knowledge and meaning
learning as social practice
Blooms 1956 Taxonomy...the basic cognitive competences to be demonstrated are:
knowledge
comprehension
application
analysis
synthesis
evaluation
Goodyear 2002 3 kinds of learning... academic. generic competence. Individual reflexivity.
Biggs ... real understanding is performative... what can you do differently as a result of their developing understanding???
Laurillard's 1993 conversational model of learning.
5.1.2
employability assets...
Skill ... functional knowledge working knowledge conceptual understanding and procedual knowledge
