The digital story so far

Visible to anyone in the world

Well, I am still spending quite a lot of time navigating the project web-site. I have just posted a design pattern, which goes into quite a lot of detail, though I am not at all confident that it is what is asked for.

I remember finding the part of H800 which dealt with Learning Design quite challenging. As I understand it, the aim of such design is to identify a pedagogical challenge and then to establish the steps that need to be taken to meet that challenge. On H800 I looked at how an online course could be designed, the idea being that this design could then be used as a template by anyone planning an online course.

I am not convinced that that is possible or helpful, really. Or perhaps what makes me sceptical is not so much the nature of the task as the rather abstract language which is used (e.g.in the Design Pattern template we are using).

Hi John, my understanding is that each one of us should create a learning design in the format of a storyboard and then we are supposed to compare and agree on a final storyboard for our project (activity 15).

This would mean that we would use the Learning Design Storyboard of activity 15  (or post-its) to further define all the tasks you list in our tutor forum - which seems pretty complete to me.

What do you think?
