Overview

• Learning Design• LAMS• LAMS V2.1 - Branching• Open Education• A Vision for Educators of the Future

Page 3: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

What is Learning Design?

• Learning Design is a new approach to describing the teaching and learning process in a structured way

• Typically describes sequences of student activities (scaffolding of content + collaboration)– A sequence applies to a class/week/topic (not whole unit)

• Focus on sharing and re-using good sequences

• Often implemented online with technology– But becoming a general framework for face to face and online

Page 4: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

What is Learning Design?

• Learning Design is particularly useful for pedagogical approaches that have a structured process, eg:– Problem Based Learning, Role Plays, Inquiry Based Learning

• Learning Design focuses on how educators structure activities to foster student learning– Equal adoption in both K-12 schools and universities

• Learning Design systems can integrate with CMSs– For students, link(s) from course area to the relevant

sequence– Lecturer single-sign-on and easy authoring and launching

Learning Design Example: LAMS

• LAMS is the world’s leading software for Learning Design– 1000s of educators, 80+ countries, translated into 25 languages– Demo accounts available at http://demo.lamscommunity.org/

• Visual “drag and drop” approach to designing activities– Helps educators to visualise teaching and learning processes

• LAMS Sequences can be shared, re-used and adapted– LAMS Community (www.lamscommunity.org)– Approximately 2900 members, 86 countries, 220 shared

sequences downloaded 6900 times, 3500 discussion postings

• Freely available as open source software– Integrated with CMSs: Sakai, Blackboard, WebCT, Moodle, etc

LAMS Demonstration

“What are the qualities of an effective teacher?”Step 1: Answer question, then reflect on answers from other studentsStep 2: Vote on a list of qualities, consider collated votesStep 3: Discuss responses to Steps 1 & 2Step 4: Read an expert’s view on the topicStep 5: Discuss expert’s view compare to class viewStep 6: Personal reflection (or essay if assessment) on initial question, based on initial views, class discussion & expert view

Can be run face to face with no technology, or fully online, or a mixDemonstration: Authoring this sequence, then Preview Learner view

Example 2: Role play “Adopting Interactive Whiteboards in schools”

New LAMS Features

• Introducing LAMS V2.1:– Branching

• Teacher allocated• Group-based• Tool-output based (MCQ & Forum so far, more to come)

– Sequences in optional• Student choice of one or more sequences

• “Branching” is always teacher or system driven (ie, automatic from the student’s perspective); optional sequences allows for student choice in “branching”

Page 13: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Key concept before we start: Properties bar in Authoring (click on it to open)

Page 14: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

So… this is the LAMS V2 (not 2.1) approach – ie, no branching

Page 15: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Role tasks replaced by Branching

Page 16: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Inside branching for role tasks

Page 17: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Naming of branches

Page 18: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Setting up role groups

Page 19: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Naming role groups

Page 20: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Branching type = groups

Page 21: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Mapping groups to branches

Page 22: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

So… after launching the Role Play sequence in Monitor, a Learner can now access it…

Page 23: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Interactive Whiteboards – Role play: Student view of Forum (private for Pro Teacher role)

Page 24: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Alternative branching approach: Teacher choice instead of group-based

Page 25: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Alternative branching approach: Launch in monitor, then allocate to branches

Page 26: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Teacher allocating students to branches by hand in Monitor

Page 27: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Alternative branching approach: Student view of Branch 2 (“con” teacher)

Page 28: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Alternative branching: Tool-output based branching based on Vote (using MCQ)

Page 29: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Imagine using Vote to create new “yes” and “no” subgroups for extra resources & forum

Page 30: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Tool-output branching: Creating conditions from tool outputs

Page 31: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: Tool-output branching: … then mapping conditions to Branches

Page 32: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Branching summary

• Three types of branching– Group-based– Teacher choice– Tool output (& conditions)

• Can have multiple groups, multiple branching activities, multiple sub-groups applied to one branch, “skip” option for branching (no task for some learners)– Tool outputs can be Boolean (either/or) or Scores– Current tools are MCQ and Forum; more to come

• “Vote” example was (mis) use of MCQ (for now)

Page 33: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: New Optional *Sequences* feature (under optional; properties for settings)

Page 34: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

LAMS 2.1: New Optional Sequences - allows students to choose 1 or more sequences

Page 35: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Pedagogical uses of new features

• Can assign different students to different topics– Each group investigates a different aspect of a phenomenon, then

reports findings back to the whole class

• Can use Branching with Tool Output (and Skip) to provide remediation tasks for only some students (eg, quiz score < X, then do branch remediation activities; otherwise skip branch)

• Can allow students to choose from different optional sequences (according to topic, skill, thoroughness, etc)

• Can seek student opinion (eg, Role Play Vote), then create group tasks that respond to different opinions

Page 36: Sharing Learning Design with LAMS: The Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Professor of Learning Technology and Director, Macquarie E-Learning

Open Education

• Open Education is about sharing education content and systems without restrictions (eg, Cape Town Declaration – www.capetowndeclaration.org)– Free of cost, but more importantly…– Freedom to share, adapt and improve

• LAMS exhibits the principles of open education at several levels:– LAMS software freely available as Open Source Software– LAMS sequences freely shared under Creative Commons– Is LAMS the “Open Teaching” part of “Open Education”?
