DESCRIPTION
Distributed CCeD is a process potentially useful for the development of projects for large numbers of students who are widely spread geographically.ConCurrent eDesign is an approach to planning from the engineering world which has been transferred to the task of developing student projects. The idea originated when NASA needed to save money and shorten planning time. It has now been adapted to the planning of digital pedagogical projects.In my session I will present a broad outline of the process which basically revolves around 'if you are not in the room then you are not part of the process'. This means that all relevant decision-makers and stakeholders should be part of the process so that it can move on quickly. When challenges are identified, the relevant person can be consulted, the challenge resolved and so the process can move on.This process has been tried and tested by the Technical University College of Trondheim with companies such as the major telecoms company Telenor and the the Statoil petroleum company. In these cases the facilitators from the university worked in the same room with the key people in the target organisation.The UnderstandIT project, supported financially by the European Union under their Leonardo program, is now testing out a distributed version of CCeD. This means that the development process is carried out online instead of physically in the same room. In UnderstandIT we are looking at what is needed to transfer this proven approach online.I will describe the case study that we used in the project to test out this process. Preliminary results show that it is perfectly feasible to produce a project design document through a process which happens completely online with developers in Portugal, Italy, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark and Norway. One of the key outcomes of this case study was that we were able to adapt the project to fit the local contexts and importantly, the cultural differences in each of the four stations where the project would run, so that we did not end up with a one size fits all solution but instead an adaptable template. This has beneficial implications for groups wishing to develop digital projects across large distances where it is simply not practical to meet physically for the four or five intensive meeting sessions needed for the CCeD process.I will describe the case study that we used in the project to test out this process.

Add comments to the chat box
What is distributed CCeD?A Visual Impression
Existing elearning design models
CCeD merges elearning design with concurrent design
Why is this a good idea?
Efficient & quicker (Strand & Staupe)Greater client satisfactionInterdisciplinary
What problem does CCeD address?
long lead times, learning about external client needs
How does CCeD address these problems?
What does a CCeD process look like?We will look attimelineroles & facilitation processtools & infrastructure
TimelineThe CCeD approach consists ofPreparation phase (agreeing with corporate client the scope
of the project, timetable etc)Execution phase (5 x 3.5 hour meetings)Conclusion (evaluation of the design document produced
during the execution phase)
Timeline 2Execution phase
The following list shows the area of focus for each of the sessions:
· Session I – What is the situation; · Session II – What possibilities exist; · Session III – Selection of solutions; · Session IV – How the solution should be designed; · Session V - Completion and implementation planning;
The output from the Execution phase is the design document for the entire e-learning delivery.
The Design Document
The design document is the main outcome of the CCeD process and consists of the following sub-models
1. The Instructional Model 2. The Knowledge Model 3. The Technical Delivery Model 4. The Business Model
Roles
the project manager the facilitator the session secretary instructional designer(s) the subject matter expert(s) technical delivery expert(s) business expert(s) several other optional roles such as instructors,
students and customer representatives who will cooperate with the above-mentioned roles,
Tools
There is no specific requirement but the process works through collaborative discussion and documentation through simultaneous completions of ready made templates.
MindmappingGoogle docs
Infrastructure
Face to face: 4 tables with 4 computers, a
management table and the ability to see what is being written in the various documents or mindmaps
Online: Adobe Connect using break
out rooms and working on Google docs
VITAE case study
To find out if the CCeD model could work online.Amendments to existing course Eg The course needed to be
longer The number of sub-models was reduced because there was an
existing course to discuss
VITAE: Sample Issues
Reminder of the session aims
Session I – What is the situation? Session II – What possibilities exist?Session III – Selection of solutionsSession IV – How the solution should be
designed; Session V - Completion and implementation
planning;
