It’s time to shift our thinking from

the old model of teachingto a new model of learning

Douglas Thomas & John Seely Brown

A new culture of learning

How is the context of learning changing?

To what extent are you as teacher/school responding innovatively? Adaptively? Transformatively?

What excites or concerns you about educational technology and its impact on learning design?

Learning best occurs when multi-modal contexts are enabled. We cannot justify pigeon holing students into single mode learning.

Ten Pedagogic Principles of Digital Learning Design

(Anderson and McCormick 2005)

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htmwww.shutterstock.com

1 Match to the Curriculum

Pedagogy aligned to curriculum throughClear objectivesRelevant contentAppropriate activitiesNature of assessment

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

2 Inclusion

Pedagogy supportive of inclusive practices i.t.o.GenderDifferent social and ethic groupsDisabilitiesDifferent types and range of achievements

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

3 Learner Engagement

Pedagogy to engage and motivate learners as evident in an ethos of beingEducationalEnjoyableA rewarding interactive experienceConducive to learning

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

4 Innovative Approaches

Digital pedagogy should be innovative in approach in that It evidences why learning technologies are being

used It uses digital forms which cannot be achieved in

any other way It must be fit for purpose. The design and implementation of the digital

material or environment is newhttp://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

5 Effective Learning

Pedagogy that is evidenced byPersonalised learningAn authentic learning experienceEffective outcomesCharacteristics of good learning (learner

agency, autonomy, collaboration, creativity, metacognition and critical thinking)

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

6 Formative Assessment

Pedagogy should provide assessment AS learning that Is primarily aimed at improving learningProvides rapid fee and constructive feedbackMakes provision for peer assessment and self

assessment

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

7 Summative Assessment

Pedagogy should provide assessment OF learning that isValid and reliableAligned to achievement of

learning outcomes

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

8 Coherence, Consistency & Transparency

The pedagogy must be Internally coherent and consistent in

the way the objectives, content, student activity and assessment match to each other

Open and accessible in its design and transparent in its intention

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

9 Ease of Use

The digital pedagogy shouldNot allow the technology to impede the

learning Allow for scaffolded and supported learningNot require extensive training or

instructionsMake appropriate assumptions about the

ICT skills of learners

http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/thematic_dossiers/articles/quality_criteria/equality2.htm

10 Cost Effectiveness

Technology solutions should beJustifiableAffordableSustainableScalable

Do your learning designs provide opportunity for learners to build & evidence these skills?

Watch the intro video here:

E.g. Create a Digital Classroom

http://www.slideshare.net/seyfert6/20-ways-to-use-edmodo

Do you enable students to use digital media to demonstrate their learning in creative

ways?

Eg. Creative Multimedia Digital Storytelling instead of the traditional essay

Eg. Pose a question that students must solve through search

Teachers and students can use Gooru to search for rich collections of multimedia

resources, digital textbooks, videos, games and quizzes created by educators

in the Gooru community.
