Learning Design for Practitioners




Partners: St Helens College, Phosphorix, University of
Bolton
Practitioners producing IMS LD units of learning with
support
User interface to Reload for practitioners
Sharing IMS LD UoLs in other situations
Producing designs

Practitioner workshops-Reload


Practitioner draws up LD to level A
(sequence/selection, content)


Evaluating the software
Using Reload
Team develops to level B if necessary


Add properties and conditions
Examples:



QTI
File upload
Messaging
Prototype user interface



Using practitioner feedback to develop designs for a
new interface to Reload
Bolton to build prototype based on designs
Iterative design process



Review with practitioners
Refine designs
Improve prototype

Designing for Learning Design

Led by UK OU
 Partners:

OUNL, LHU
Preparing SLeD (UK OU) and Coppercore
(OUNL) for institutional use
 Addressing
performance issues
 Usability
 Improved
course and user admin
Designing for Learning Design

SLeD Usability




Testing units of learning in classroom situations
Gather student feedback on use of SLeD
Compile list of usability issues
Coppercore Performance

Monitor issues whilst running of units of learning e.g.



Stability
Scalability
Administration
State of Play

Performance and usability issues identified in earlier
project (Slide) were fixed by OU/OUNL at start of project.

Currently running modules


no stability issues so far.
Future

More units of learning e.g.



MSc. Computing Programme in Sept. 07
Second year Computing module
Other subjects


JISC demonstrator project
Partners: University of Bolton, RayCom
Developing a plug-in for the Reload IMS LD editor



Search OpenDocument.net repository from within the editor
Download learning designs into editor
Installing as part of system at LHU
