There are two concepts that have resonated with me in this module, learner centred design and the importance of social learning. I am really keen to practice including the "human centred design" concept into most (if not all) of my learning designs. I will have to really think about how I will be able to use the social learning aspects as I mentioned before...

I think that the Quality Matters Rubric framework aligns closest to my expectations of a framework and my interest in Learner Centred Design. This framework looks at each element of the the user interaction with the learning and assessment to ensure that any gaps are closed with regards to pre required skills and access to not only ensure the learning...

Oh gosh where to begin! I think that very few people can distinguish between the roles mentioned above. I have worked in companies where I was the "one-woman-band" of all things learning and development. From doing content curation to learning design to the digital development etc. I had to do it all.
My biggest challenge was time, every project took me a...

I think that Sylvia's statement about students not "passively receiving information" is something curators need to be very aware of in both traditional and digital learning environments. Probably more so in the digital environment as there is a strong likelihood that the learner will be following the learning path on their own.
So I think that curators...

@JasonFletcher I just want to check my understanding of your example. So Mooc's service design is that learners can get a free/inexpensive education and Moocs obtains learner experience to further contribute to their learning design. Am I on the right path?

Firstly, I really enjoyed that Ted Talk. I am a first hand user of Duolingo and have a (basic) understanding of the French language thanks to the app. As an example of service design, I think I will struggle to find a better one. When I think about all the elements that get equal benefit from this service design, it's amazing.
Even though the numbers that...

@SharonPittaway Yes, I feel that using the process that has always worked is not necessarily mean that you don't have to evolve. With the constant development we have, I want to see if other models can have perhaps the same success as ADDIE but are more adaptable as well as suit the current learning environment / and modern learning styles.
-
@LisaPeel Yes you are right Lisa, the backward design is a much better description :)

Forums are obviously not a new thing that allows learners and educators to connect, but sometimes you don't always have the required tools such as this amazing platform that we are using here. What we have recently done that you might find bizarre is that we used Storyline Review (which is normally used for peer/SME review of Rise modules to allow them to...

To be very honest, I am very new to the "learner centred" design thinking structure. I have only recently seen the benefits of using "empathy" as the main principle for design. What I would be really interested in is how others have successfully used an "Empathy Map" to gain an understanding of what was required to build successful training?
-
@JoElliott I think that this is where the interaction between educators are important. We all have such a variance in experience but it's great to bounce ideas of other people and that will help with getting perspective that isn't always obvious when you research an item on your own.
-
@JasonFletcher Thank you so much for putting up the link to Cathy Moore. I have had a read of a couple of articles and gosh there are some really great tips. I am with you on the Storyline e-learning heroes site, they have some great articles and inspiration for learning designs.

Lellete Van Dyk made a comment
I have to agree with @jasonfletcher that Storyline is a big resource for me, not only in design ideas but also principles that others have used and found successful. To be honest, up until the last 2 or so years, I never even really considered using other design methodologies beyond ADDIE. Once I stared working as part of a larger design group, did I get more...
-
@GregTimbrell I love this idea of an "simulation" assessment that allows the learners to prove in real world scenario's that they can apply the learning. I think it can give us a much better idea of competency than a standard test.

Lellete Van Dyk made a comment
I won't call any of my recent design projects "exciting" as I work in a corporate environment when most of the training design I create is process related. But one of the most successful learning program I created was for a new work ticket assignment project for a large client. I have mostly stuck to ADDIE for most of my designs. ADDIE is a great model that...

Looking specifically in the context of Digital Learning, the term "transformation" means (for me personally) that we find different ways of designing perhaps the same standard of learning but perhaps using a different learning platform that makes it easier to access or to complete. Where as "innovation" is taking that same learning to the next level (on...

I really enjoyed this first week. I did not think I would enjoy connecting via the forum, but I got some great insight on some learning practices based on other people's experience. What I am looking forward to is the "service design framework" and how that related to some of the current (and perhaps older) frameworks that I have been using or trying to adopt...
-
Agreed, I think at least 10% of my current "world knowledge" tends to come from browsing (Facebook, Instagram etc) and it may be the case that on certain days I don't access any of those platforms, so that definitely supports the "luck" factor. Probably the great issue with this form of information gathering is "accuracy" and that opens and entire different...

Agreed it's one of those "vegemite" scenario's isn't it? Something I tested out recently was to use the MS Whiteboard feature that allowed people to have a virtual face to face session plus the interactivity of posting sticky notes, images etc to the whiteboard. This is the only one small suggestion I can contribute to your scenario.

Absolutely, the ability to suddenly use a variety of technical tools have definitely dumped me the deep end on try to work and socialise using the vast array of technology that (for me at least) sprouted out of nowhere. It did show me that even growing older, I'm a quick learner.

Lellete Van Dyk replied to Jill Stewart
@JillStewart I agree that this pandemic has forced us into the world of digital learning a bit faster and a bit deeper that it would normally have. I think it's a great idea to allow teachers to implement some form of digital learning in their classes, this will not only allow them to learn and grow into the next phase of learning, but will allow their...

One of the key elements that stood out to me is that how things have changed and will have to change even more in education. The concepts of "life long" and "life-wide" learning has really go me thinking that our traditional methods of learning will have to adapt as not to inadvertently prevent learning from occurring at all. I have recently been researching...

"Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivism learning activities." This particular principal stood out to me as I have this constant feeling of that I don't know enough and that things in my world (professionally and personally) tend to change so often that you cannot but wonder whether you have the latest information. What's...

My most recent experience regarding social learning is where I currently work. There is a great mentality that if one of us discovers a great tool, a shortcut or just something that we have found helpful, we tend to run quick sessions to teach the others. What is great is that our team has quite a varied skill set and that allows us to draw on each other's...

Lellete Van Dyk replied to ash mc
I agree with you @ashmc that we still need some form of human interaction. I think what this pandemic has also shown us is that our need for human connections will always be needed in some form or other.

Lellete Van Dyk replied to Martin B
@MartinB I agree, for me personally the content is the deciding factor on how I learn. If it's a skill learnt from a YouTube video, that's great but sometimes sitting down and delving deeper requires a bit more investment.
-
Lellete Van Dyk made a comment
For me personally I am better suited to learn in a very specific environment, however, the majority of training content that I have created in the last couple years the requirement has been "anytime, anywhere, any device". Similar to the comments made by @JasonFletcher, using tools like Rise360 gives us the capability for learning to happen when and where it's...

I think that the theory of Connectivism and networked learning can be both a good and a bad thing. On the once side having access to such vast forms of learning and material that was not possible a couple of years ago, but also possibly getting lost as so what is accurate and relevant. A basic example I can give is I did a bit of research around Human Centred...

@JasonFletcher I envy you for being able to learn via an audiobook. I am a very visual learner and that can be a bit cumbersome. I can imagine being able to learn whilst doing other things can help you progress quickly.

I have definitely been taking my education in stages. I won't refer to them as micro credentialing, more something in the middle (middle credentialing?) as they have not been full degree qualifications. After moving to Australia, I wanted to complete credentials that will contribute to my previous education and experience with acknowledged Australian...
-
@JasonFletcher I agree with your reference to the 70-20-10 model. I have myself used that format with relative success. By providing employees with a starting point and guidance, they can learn whilst doing the job. The only one snag that I have had in this area is the support functionality in the "20 percent" section. Not everyone can confidently coach and/or...

The one thing that resonated with me in Sir Ken Robinson's Ted Talk and in Prof Beverley Oliver's video is the idea "Academic Inflation". The idea that so many people have bachelor degrees that in order to stand out, you need a masters and at some point a masters will not be enough. I think people should still invest in a secondary education but in...

Lellete Van Dyk replied to Andrew Alford
@AndrewAlford I really like your statement that we can fit under more than one archetype and that because of the availability of digital learning, we are capable of managing multiple learnings at the same time. In the current digital world we have the capability to track and do a variety of tasks and learning at the same time.

Firstly I not only identify with Susanna as an Advancer but also as a South African (we now live in Melbourne, Australia). I definitely want to progress in the field of digital learning but as an adult I also want to enjoy doing it. On a more personal level, I also identify as a Hobbyist (and no I am not that old). I love sewing and learning new things and...
-
From the articles that I have read already there seems to be a slight undertone of the human influence (both good and bad) in the development of digital learning. I'm excited to see what others add.
-
Agreed @JoElliott, sometimes greater lessons are learnt from failures than from success stories. It's good to have a reminder of that sometimes :)

One of the key elements of this course that really attracts my interest is that the learning is not one sided. We won't just get the perspective of the lecturer(s), but also additional real world experiences from other participants. The combination of this knowledge (I believe) will not only reinforce best practice of the work I am currently doing, but also...
-
I really liked your statement of the introduction being "un-techie". I agree that providing the core values in this way really sets the cornerstone of this course that will ensure that we can implement those values before we start sharing our experience and ideas.
