Scenario

Imagine you are constructing a course in digital skills for an identified group of learners (e.g. undergraduates, new employees, teachers, mature learners, military personnel, etc.). It is a short, online course aimed at providing these learners with a set of resources for developing ‘digital skills’. It runs for five weeks, with a different subject each week, accounting for about six hours study per week.

Below are the finds. I have not attempted to search meticulously because this is an exercise to introduce me to the repositories. It has worked. I am more interested than I thought I would be.

An Introduction to Digital Skills:

1. Target: New staff, new providers, those looking for a refresher.
2. Level: Introductory
3. Leaning Outcomes:

• To be able to use asynchronous and synchronous fora flexibly.
• To understand that playing enhances the awareness of the affordances
• To understand the strengths and weaknesses of automate / algorithmic systems. To test that using the Teacher Bot device.
• To further develop wiki use in multimodal ways to enhance care and support planning.
• To be able to apply the QUiPS’ mission statements on collaboration and co-production to the use of multimodal fora and wikis.
• To make a support plan for a fictional ‘circle of support’ surrounding Dora, a you women with multiple needs and expressed wants established in a collaborative interdisciplinary assessment involving user, carers, professional disciplines and staff. This will be specified.

The table shows however that the deeper the repository queried (Merlot as an instance) the longer the URL and the greater possibility of corruption of this URL through transmission. We had intended to simplify this before going to report but were unable to do so. Yet again tolerance is needed here. We have given the full URL for box 2 & 4  below.

The immediate gain for us was that, using these repositories, we were able to link our interests in innovative and open resources with innovate and open pedagogies and culture. We were able to find a more or less straight path to collaboration. However, the most difficult concept in this course is the one learners often believe they know already but do not – collaboration.
