#oosEU Toolbox Needs Analysis; Lewisham July 6 2015

Bilbao Bordeaux Lewisham Lisboa Pula



• This presentation will cover…• Background • Needs Analysis• Learning Design; • Structure, Content, Community• Toolbox Curated Conversation• Sustainability (e.g. WikiQuals, Bibblio etc)



• The Origin of Spaces is an EU project• Looking at the next generation economy• CoWorking Spaces• Participatory Governance• Ecological Transitions• Social Enterprise• Working with local communities


#oosEU Needs Analysis BACKGROUND




• Background; Fred Garnett F.R.S.A• Visiting Research Fellow London Knowledge Lab 5*

• Lewisham TaLENT project (MirandaWeb award)• Lewisham (active) Citizen Connects project• UK Head of Community Programmes (centres)• Learner-generated Contexts (post Web2.0 learning)• “creative & innovative work in community learning”• Accessibility & Usability Consultant GALA IST-5


#oosEU Needs Analysis




• Needs Analysis (NA); #oosEU partners are users!• Jacob Nielsen useit.com “even asking one person

improves usability”• NA reveals that we are not traditional learners• SUMMARY Seems like most people want 2 things• 1. Clear step-by-step guides to doing useful things

(as part of a personal development process)• 2. Links to resources that match that need BUT

provided as compelling stories



• Needs Analysis; Full SUMMARY• Successful development processes & Inspiring Stories• Getting finance partners & developmental advice. Also big

problems with lack of work TIME to get things done • Work overload! Not enough Guidance! Not enough TIME • A really range of skills, some outside OOS project scope!• Really wide range of learning examples, but NOT education.

More from informal learning interests and experience! • Diverse set of learning needs (& interests)• People interested in all aspects of the OOS project


#oosEU Needs Analysis LEARNING DESIGN




• Learning Design; • Not institutionally based (Education)• Very much a “Just-in-time” requirement e.g.

“Participatory Government docs now please”• Diverse learning needs & Preferences• From my perspective a structured model• Taking people from a self-determined point e to

a useful point f• I know this (e) and I want to know that (f)



• Learning Design; 3 requirements• Structure; the scaffolding of learning

opportunities and the relationships • Content; Resources used in helping people learn

• Community; the networks available for supporting learners.

• We have to get Structure right (discussed)



• Learning Design; some background• Community Development Model of Learning• Open Context Model of Learning• Social Media Learning Models• Architectures of Participation • Emergent Learning Model - WikiQuals

WikiQuals “Yes You Can!”Learning not Education

Liminal not Institutionalised Bio-diversity not Monoculture

Learner-centric not Student-centredLearner-generated not Course-defined

Community as Curriculum not Syllabus definedCommunity of Sqolars not Community of PracticePersonal Learning Networks not Content-delivery

Quality Assured not Quality ControlledAffinity not Supervision

Emergent not Linear

Trust the learner to find their own Identity

#oosEU Toolbox Curated Conversation

An encouraging community sharing platform of different practice


#oosEU Toolbox - overview


• Our Curated Conversation – we said;• Supporting the creation of new creative spaces• Offering an online Toolbox with a range of tools• Creating collaborative communities• Developing the eco-system of people &

resources necessary to evolve economically

#oosEU Toolbox - Fernando


• I hope the Origin of Spaces Toolbox will be an up-to-date power tool for all willing to create or develop new creative spaces.

• Specifically I hope these spaces will also be the new learning spaces instead of the dull school we still experience today

• This toolbox will surely help all…

#oosEU Toolbox - Ruth


• I wish the toolbox will become a collaborative tool that could grow and evolve over time. With an open shape that can receive input & changes

• A tool that is accessible to all kind of people (blind, deaf, gender equality etc)

• A tool for the long term that could last in time, technically dependent on a project care holder

#oosEU Toolbox – Bordeaux1


• To make a sustainable and profitable platform addressing: how to motivate the users to go to the platform ?

• Useful - Easy - Dynamic - Inclusive - Reusable- Evolutive - Multiple - Dynamique - Funny- Concrete- Sustainable

• Also to evaluate the impact of the tool

#oosEU Toolbox - overview


• Ideally the toolbox should adapt to future new audiences…

• Tagged by interest and key words that can create different paths and connections.

• In such a way that will allow others to learn on different levels using different learning styles and methods.

• It should support different levels of users, advanced and non-advanced from specific sectors


#oosEU Needs Analysis Recommendations




• Building a Different Meaningful Toolbox • Run a MOOC in September to share our

research findings & find existing resources• Structure; self-determined learning model• Content; Use Bibblio / xtlearn for storage• Community; make each #oosEU partner

the lead group for their expertise


Offering an online Toolbox with a range of tools




• Learning Design Structure; 3 layers• 1 User self-identification (identity)• 2 Access to resources (Topology)• 3 Pathways to be undertaken (journeys)• No learner tracking! (but)• Suggest sharing pathways… (e.g. xtlearn)



• Learning Design Content; 3 layers• 1 Research resources• 2 Each partner’s expertise• 3 Resources from the MOOC to be shared• Minimize maintenance…• (Create an Open Source Documentation

repository for Economy 2.0)



• Learning Design Community; • Cannot be supported (but)• Each partner “owns their expertise”• Can use WikiQuals to promote use• Run the MOOC annually; 2015, 2016, 2017• MOOC runs 28 Sept to 2nd Oct 2015


Developing the eco-system of people & resources
