I have been reviewing 2 models to map digital resources to ensure good teaching practice.
Model 1 - 4 Facets of Learning
1 - Thinking and Reflection
2 - Experience and Activity
3 - Conversation and Interaction
4 - Evidence and Demonstration
An example of using this model is placed below:
Tools and a description of their use in a particular context
Unit 307 – Delivering Advanced Personal Training Sessions.
Types of learning
Thinking and reflection
Experience and activity
Conversation and interaction
Evidence and demonstration
Underpinning Theory via Written Text (on Moodle)
Ö
Underpinning Theory via MP3 Audio
Ö
Underpinning Theory via Popplet Mind Maps
Ö
Small OER Videos hosted on college Planet e-stream
Ö
Learner encouraged to communicate and share ideas with other learners on chat-room and forums
Ö
Practical Workshop to practice theory in practical setting – use of Moodle on tablets to support discussions
Ö
Designing lifestyle evaluation form, ParQ Form and Exercise Programme and submitting for assessment – using moodle for templates as a guide
Ö
Observation/Assessment of delivering the designed programme in practical, authentic setting – use of video to record session for e-portfolio
Ö
Ö
VIVA with learner and learner completed reflective statement including gaining feedback from client – recorded on laptop and available for e-portfolio

Model 2 - Conole et al 2004
Three spectrum lines:
1. Individual - Social
2. Passive - Active
3. Information - Experience
I trialled this as part of an OU course for 6 types of digital learning and the finding are attached as a pdf.
Overview
I can really see the benefits of using these models as I do understand the concerns that sometimes technology may be used for the sake of using it but without good pedagogical basis. TEL (technology enhanced learning) has the key word 'enhanced' to the acronym. If an innovative approach can be aligned to solid teaching practice then it will offer a rich learning experience.
From a simplification perspective, the 4 facets of learning is very easy to complete and it shows very quickly if there are any significant gaps in the types of learning. This can then support the development of the scheme to adapt and improve this.
I also like spectrums/continuums as often it can be hard and inaccurate to pigeon hole to one category, as it may map across a number of approches. I would use this model but probably as an additional model after completing the 4 facets. Combined I think they offer a great, simple and practical implementation toolkit, that can be supportive of ensuring a broad and enjoyable learning plan.
