The Learning Designer

The Learning Designer: Designing blended learning The Learning Designer - Supporting teachers as experimental designers Select learning activity type: Read/Watch/Listen Inquiry Discussion Specify duration Practice of activity Add a 20 -minute Collaboration discussion activity Production • Prompted to consider six types of learning activity • Using feedback from pie-chart to reflect on the balance of activities

Greater productivity – building and sharing designs The Learning Designer - Enabling teachers to be like a research community Build on the work of others Select a good pedagogic design

The Course Resource Appraisal Modeller

A modelling tool for thinking about the impact of moving to blended learning http: //bit. ly/2 g. MATPe

The Course Resource Appraisal Modeller Define learner time and teacher time needed for each type of activity: Video lecture Peer discussion Using digital tools Assignments Peer reviews Tutor-supported forums… Returns feedback on learner experience and teaching costs

Modelling learning benefits vs teaching costs http: //web. lkldev. ioe. ac. uk/cram/ Learning experience and… Teaching hours Break-even by Run 2 on these assumptions

Discussion: Could learning design tools for teachers help them move to blended learning?
