integration

what does integration mean?

technical integration: account creation auth.n/auth.z single sign-on

workflow integration: authoring quality assurance publishing

pedagogic integration: pedagogic model blended learning learner support

process integration: progress tracking statistics transfer of results

quality & control

how much control ?

too little: long time to develop different granularity varying pedagogic quality limited reuse

too much: boring sameness lack of learner personalisation centralised innovation instead of creativity lack of ownership

culture

LD = proto-typing learning for mass delivery

HE = bringing knowledge to maturity

e.g. LD as a new knowledge domain. No established ways of transmitting. No defined learning outcomes. No established audience. The current discussions are part of the review and refinement process.

cf. this to e.g. language teaching
