What is Learning Design all about?

• A language to describe education
• Curriculum
• Course
• Lesson
• What is it not?
• Programming language
• A instructional method
• A guaranty for good education
• Flexible in its presentation
• Learner centred

5
Short experience

• We will simulate a short role play
• Designing a house

• Roles?
• Dependencies?
• Structure

6
Analysis

• Play
• Act
• Role-parts
• Activities (structure)
• Sequence
• Selection
• Environments
• Services
• E-mail
• Conference
• Monitor

• Play
• Properties
• conditions

Forget about the levels

• The levels are only useful for technicians not
  for educators
• But still it helps a little

9
The basics Level AHave your ALFANET editor ready

• Three types of activities
• Learning activity
• Support activity
• Activity structure
• Two types of roles
• Learner
• Staff
• The environment
• Learning objects
• Services

10
Relation

• Learning activities
• A learner learns by doing activities
• Primarily for the learners
• Core of the education
• Activity structure
• Sometimes the activities need to be carried out
  in a specified order or the learner may choose
  what to do.
• Environment
• To perform an activity some materials might be
  needed
• The learner needs to communicate with others
• Support activity
• Learner or staff with special activity to help
  (other) learners.

11
The dynamics Level B

• Properties can determine how a learner progresses
  through the course or what is made visible.
• Activities
• Content within an activity
• Completion of activities, acts, play and unit of
  learning can be made dependable on properties
• Services are given extra possibilities
• Conditions can depend on Calculations with
  properties

12
Communication Level C

• Notifications inform (someone in) a role that
  something has happened
• Depending on completion of
• Some activity
• Some condition with properties

13
Learning by Doing

• Go to components
• Go to Roles

What did you see?

• Activities
• Single activities
• Activity structure
• Sequence
• Structures within structures (nesting)

• Environment
• Learning objects
• Nested environments

16
What more did you see?

• Properties
• Fill-in forms

Content control
17
And ?

• Properties
• Selection forms

18
Learning by doing

• Now its your turn
• Take the course outline you are planning to
  create
• Add to that the environments (learning objects
  and services)
• Complete the course till level A

19
Your course
                                                 
                                                 
       
 

• Course structure
• Think of what who needs what at what moment
• (Environments)
• Do you already have the content?
• What content relates to what activity

20
Ready?

• Create a Package interchange File
• We send the package to Sage
• Tomorrow we can see them!

You wanted properties Here they come

• Properties come in threes
• In the Components
• In the Play
• In the content

23
In the components

• This is the place where the properties are
  declared

24
Four types of properties

• Local properties
• Used within the unit of learning
• Same for every user in a run
• Different for another run
• Global properties
• Used outside a unit of learning
• Defined in one UOL and used in another one
• Personal properties
• Owned by a person
• Can be local or global
• Role properties
• Owned by a role
• Always local

Work on your course

• Define how you want to make use of a property

• What comes in the components
• What comes in the play
• What comes in the content
