Chapter 9 case study tools for visualising designsgrainne
This document summarizes the development of CompendiumLD, a visualization tool for designing learning activities. It describes practitioners' approaches to design based on interviews, the need to represent designs visually, and the repurposing of an open education resource tool. The tool Compendium was adapted to create CompendiumLD to address challenges in visually representing learning designs identified from empirical research. Evaluation of CompendiumLD found it useful for both practitioners and students in mapping different aspects of the design process.
Learning Design for Student Success: The Good, the Bad and the UglyMark Brown
The document summarizes key aspects of learning design for student success, including the good, bad, and ugly. It discusses how learning design aims to make the design process more explicit and shareable, but can oversimplify complexity. While tools and frameworks exist, true adoption of new pedagogical approaches proves difficult. The reality is that traditional teaching still dominates and digital innovations do not guarantee success or improved outcomes. Overall, the document reflects on progress and challenges in designing learning experiences for students.

The document summarizes a research project that analyzes university students' participation in co-designing learning scenarios. The project aims to study developing more authentic and learner-focused scenarios through a collaborative design process between students and teachers. The research uses a design-based methodology involving multiple iterative design cycles. Preliminary results found that configuration of co-design groups, task structure, and balancing structure with emergence are important factors. Ensuring participant comfort with roles and confronting student-teacher perspectives also impacted the critical issues in the co-design process.
This document discusses using design thinking to improve learning experiences in the classroom. It notes that today's students are diverse and have different learning styles. The design process can help address various learning needs by being adaptable, collaborative, and incorporating technology. The document outlines how each step of the design process can engage different learning styles. It provides examples of how tools like CMAP, Pinterest, digital storytelling and Prezi can support various steps in the process. The document advocates using design thinking to create learning experiences that consider the needs of non-traditional students.
A paper presented at the 2012 Design, Development and Research conference. A student’s experience in a tertiary programme should develop the professional skills needed after graduation as well as equip students with necessary skills to navigate real world situations. In the design field students work and learn in an educational design studio which mirrors the working model of professional design industries. Design students’ learning experiences can be investigated from both an external point of view, by establishing the level of student involvement, as well as from an internal point of view through the level of engagement encouraged by the method of teaching and learning. Student involvement, as explored in this paper relates to the framework develop by Astin (1984) in which he states: “Quite simply, student involvement refers to the amount of physical and psychological energy that the student devotes to the academic experience.” If a student is involved they stand to gain more from the educational experience. This experience could further be enhanced by developing an engaging learning situation. The term ‘engagement theory’, as explored by Kearsley and Shneiderman (1999), is grounded in technology based education but can be applied to most learning environments : “The fundamental idea underpinning engagement theory is that students must be meaningfully engaged in learning activities through interaction with others and worthwhile tasks”. The Schlechty Centre (2009) describes students who are engaged by their learning environment as able to learn at high levels with a clear and comprehensive understanding of what is being learnt, as well as being able to retain what they have learnt and that they are able to apply this new knowledge to different contexts . The three characteristics of an engaged learning experience are collaboration, project orientated assessment and authentic (real-world) learning . These characteristics are similar to practical studio based education practices which focus on problem based projects, grounded in real world contexts.
This paper investigates the level of student involvement of Industrial Design 3 students as well as whether engagement is encouraged within the theoretical subjects associated with this programme. To establish the level of student involvement students completed the 2012 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and findings are compared to corresponding data from America, Europe and Australia. The level of engagement experienced by third year Industrial Design students in the theoretical subject was documented through video and photographic ethnography. The aim of the research is to establish whether design students, with varying levels of student involvement, would have a more engaged learning experience in theoretical subjects if the learning experience was collaborative, project orientated and based in a real world context.
The Viewpoints Project provides tools to support effective assessment and feedback through reflective workshops. [1] The workshops use principles of best practice mapped to a learner timeline to help staff design curriculum. [2] Typical workshops involve sorting assessment and feedback cards, mapping principles to objectives on the timeline, and reflecting on implementation ideas. [3] Evaluations found the approach facilitated discussion, built effective teams, and helped design engaging curriculum.
The document discusses collaborative curriculum design and outlines three key principles: 1) using representational frameworks to describe learning activities, 2) mechanisms for sharing and discussing teaching ideas, and 3) developing empirical research and conceptual tools to guide decision making. It also describes how representational frameworks make curriculum structures more explicit and visible, highlighting connections. Workshops and social networks allow ongoing discussion and practice sharing. Design activities are proposed to stimulate design dialogues.
This document provides an overview of project-based learning (PBL) through an agenda for a workshop on the topic. It discusses why schools implement PBL, what PBL is and isn't, how to design PBL units, and managing PBL projects. Key aspects covered include defining projects, their components, grading projects, and the realities of implementing projects. The document aims to give educators a taste of PBL through exercises and designing a sample unit to use the following year.

Dr. Swan will discuss tools and techniques of assessing the impact of technology on learning, beginning with asking the right questions. Good questions, she argues, specify not just outcomes, but also inputs and, most importantly, learning processes. Each of these will be discussed in terms of categories and measures for guiding assessment.

Presented at the 4th DCAF Workshop on Gender-responsive Evaluation in Military Education.
Professor Mike Keppell presented on learning design in Australia and whether it is mature enough to meet the needs of new generation learners. He discussed how learning design needs to empower teachers and learners as designers by engaging learners through interactive, networked, and student-generated content. Learning-oriented assessment that involves students and provides forward-looking feedback is also important. Keppell argued that the design mindset needs to change to privilege these elements as well as mobile access and personalized learning strategies.
The document outlines the process and timelines for developing online courses, including roles for primary writers, secondary writers, reviewers, and analysts at various stages. It also covers best practices for online course design such as using inquiry-based learning, scaffolded instruction, balanced assessment, and differentiated learning. Finally, it provides guidance on technical aspects of developing online content like file naming conventions, copyright clearance, and using special formatting for things like teacher guides, media boxes, and page breaks.

Taking It Further: The Practical Implications of Action Research in the Field...Vikki du Preez
This presentation was given at the 2011 Design, Development and Research conference and aims to showcase the positive implications of Action Research as a methodology when investigating design areas of interest. The practice of design, as well as design thinking, is compared to Action Research, and in particularly Participatory Action Research, to highlight the similarities in processes and knowledge generation. Participatory Action Research compliments the practical nature of design, which is often solution or goal orientated. The benefit of Action research is two-fold: firstly, it allows the researcher to gain general knowledge about the area of study while, secondly, generating specific information which can be used to change the situation. The presentation and paper draws on findings from an MTech Degree study entitled Networks For Design, Through Design which used Participatory Action Research as the main methodology of the project. The presentation discusses the various phases of the study in relation to Participatory Action Research and describes how this methodology supported and guided the project outcomes.
The document summarizes a presentation about the Viewpoints curriculum design project. It introduces Viewpoints as using principles and timelines to help educators design curriculum from the learner's perspective. Participants engaged in a workshop using Viewpoints cards covering themes like assessment, engagement, and skills. The summary provides an overview of Viewpoints' goals of promoting reflection and innovation in curriculum design through its structured yet flexible approach.
This document summarizes a thesis that conducted an action research project using design thinking at SURFnet to gain insights into students' perspectives on digital learning environments. The research had three goals: 1) provide insights on DLEs, 2) evaluate design thinking's potential value for SURFnet, and 3) evaluate design thinking concepts and practices based on this case. The research included understanding the problem context through literature review and student observations, ideating with experts, prototyping scenarios, and testing with students. Insights from this included that DLEs could facilitate more personalized curricula and learning environments tailored to course goals. The research found that design thinking could help SURFnet gain deeper understanding of student needs

Peer Assessment in Architecture Education - Brno - ICTPI'14 - Mafalda Teixeir...David Sousa-Rodrigues
The role of peer assessment in education has become of particular interest in recent years, mainly because of its potential benefits in improving student’s learning and benefits in time management by allowing teachers and tutors to use their time more efficiently to get the results of student’s assessments quicker. Peer assessment has also relevant in the context of distance learning and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
The discipline of architecture is dominated by an artistic language that has its own way of being discussed and applied. The architecture project analysis and criticism goes beyond the technical compon- ents and programme requirements that need to be fulfilled. Dominating the architecture language is an essential tool in the architect’s toolbox. In this context peer assessment activities can help them develop skills early in their undergraduate education.
In this work we show how peer assessment acts as a formative activity in architecture teaching. Peer assessment leads the students to develop critical and higher order thinking processes that are fundamental for the analysis of architecture projects. The applicability of this strategy to massive open online education systems has to be considered as the heterogeneous and unsupervised environment requires confidence in the usefulness of this approach. To study this we designed a local experiment to investigate the role of peer experiment in architecture teaching.
This experiment showed that students reacted positively to the peer assessment exercise and looked forward to participating when it was announced. Previously to the assessment students felt engaged by the responsibility of marking their colleagues. Subsequently to the first iteration of the peer assessment, professors registered that students used elements of the qualitative assessment in their architecture discourse, and tried to answer the criticisms pointed to their projects by their colleagues. This led their work in directions some hadn’t considered before.
The marks awarded by the students are in good agreement with the final scores awarded by the professors. Only in 5 cases the average score of the peer assessment differed more than 10% from marks given by the professors. It was also observed that the professor’s marks where slightly higher than the average of the peer marking. No correlation was observed between the marks given by a student as marker and the final score given to that student by the professors.
The data produced in this experiment shows peer assessment as a feedback mechanism in the construction of a critical thought process and in the development of an architectural discourse. Also it shows that students tend to mark their colleagues with great accuracy. Both of these results are of great importance for possible application of peer assessment strategies to massive open online courses and distance education.

The document provides presenter notes for leading a workshop on Keeping Learning on Track (KLT) Foundations, outlining the goals of introducing teachers to formative assessment strategies and how their learning will continue through job-embedded professional learning communities. It describes the agenda and activities for the workshop, emphasizing formative assessment techniques to model such as using parking lots for questions, learning targets, and traffic light signals to check understanding. Presenters are guided to facilitate discussions and activities to help teachers understand how to implement formative assessment in their classrooms.
The document discusses a workshop on open educational resources (OERs), pedagogical patterns, and learning design. It introduces these topics and the OLnet initiative. It then describes the activities in the workshop, which included discussions, think-pair-share exercises, and hands-on challenges to redesign course content using visualization tools. The goal was to explore how to encourage uptake and reuse of OERs through representing pedagogical designs visually.
Learning design is the practice of planning, sequencing and managing learning activities to support instruction. It allows educators to design full lessons or programs using tools like LAMS. While design is inherent in teaching, making the process explicit can help share best practices and support teachers in selecting appropriate tools and activities. Learning design aims to capture expert teaching skills and represent pedagogy, technologies and intended student activities in a way that can be reused or adapted by other educators. However, challenges remain regarding ownership, representation formats and understanding the full impact of this approach.

The document discusses using a learning design approach to shift from implicit, belief-based teaching practices to more explicit, evidence-based design informed by validated tools and methods. It describes learning design as both a process of planning learning activities and a product - the representation or structure produced. Key aspects include design as a conscious, creative, communicative, and social process. Challenges of this approach include balancing precision with the natural fuzziness of practice, and balancing personal designs with those meant for sharing.
This document summarizes a research project that uses a design-based research methodology to study the co-design of learning scenarios in higher education. The project brings together teachers, students, and researchers from multiple universities to collaboratively design learning scenarios based on inquiry-based learning principles and supported by technology. Over the course of several phases, the participants will engage in iterative co-design cycles to develop learning scenarios for various contexts. They will use design tools and conceptual artifacts to facilitate the process and represent practices. The expected results include guidelines for implementing inquiry-based learning models, a description of the co-design method, innovative learning scenarios, and tools to support design processes and products.
The document discusses approaches to curriculum and learning design. It outlines an activity session that will explore developing a shared process model, pedagogies of space and place, and thinking ahead. It reviews recent literature on learning and curriculum design and surveys current practice. Recommendations include exploring challenges and opportunities to develop guidance on diverse spaces/places/participation and exemplar case studies.
RevistingABC: Beyond blended: new definitions, principles and resourcesSheila MacNeill
The document summarizes the findings of a Jisc project on curriculum and learning design in UK higher education. It discusses definitions of curriculum design and learning design. A survey of 155 UK institutions found that teaching and learning strategies are the main drivers of curriculum design and that universities are engaging in major curriculum reviews post-pandemic. Key recommendations include updating workload models to recognize staff engagement in design activities and sharing a vocabulary and examples of different modes of student participation in learning across institutions. The next phase will provide guidance on curriculum design processes and the pedagogies of diverse spaces, places and modes of participation.
Learning design refers to the process of planning and structuring learning activities. It aims to make the pedagogical process more explicit and help teachers create better learning experiences by mapping activities to pedagogical approaches and technologies. Learning design provides tools to describe learning activities so they can be shared, reused, and improved over time.
By the end of the Carpe Diem workshop, participants should be able to create a blueprint poster with a mission statement and outcomes for their module design. They should also be able to create a storyboard showing content sequencing and assessments. Participants will build at least two prototype online activities and get feedback from students. On the second day, participants reflect on their designs and build out a prototype activity. They then get feedback from student reality checkers and review their designs to see what needs adjustment.
This document discusses learning design and its importance. It defines learning design as representing teaching and learning activities in a format that can be shared and adapted by teachers. This allows good practices to be transferred and helps teachers incorporate new technologies and resources into their lessons. The document outlines why focusing on design processes is important to improve teaching quality and support teachers in a time of many new tools and resources. It also defines key terms like learning activities and discusses different levels and interpretations of learning design.
Conole learning design_workshop NTU Innovations in Teaching SeminarGrainne Conole
- The 7Cs framework is a new learning design approach that involves conceptual representations of courses to shift practice from implicit to explicit design-based approaches. It comprises seven stages: Conceptualise, Capture, Communicate, Collaborate, Consider, Combine, and Consolidate.
- An evaluation of the framework found it enabled teachers to rethink their course design and create more engaging learning experiences for students. It can also be used to indicate the nature of courses to learners.
- The document outlines activities for workshop participants to apply the 7Cs framework to conceptualize their own course designs.
Nordforsk - meso-pedagogy and tools.pptThomas Ryberg
The document discusses problem-based learning (PBL) as a meso-pedagogy and the Collaborative E-learning Design (CoED) method as a tool to empower teachers in designing technology-enhanced learning. PBL sits between macro-level policies and micro-level classroom practices, providing structure while allowing flexibility. CoED is a participatory design process involving experts, users and facilitators to rapidly prototype early e-learning designs based on negotiated teaching and learning values. The methodology, principles and phases of CoED are outlined.
The document outlines Gráinne Conole's workshop on learning design which provides an overview of learning design concepts and frameworks, applies various learning design tools and methods to course development, and discusses theoretical perspectives on learning design and the role of technology in supporting pedagogy. The workshop aims to help participants conceptualize learning design from different viewpoints and critique approaches to incorporating technologies in a way that enhances rather than hinders learning outcomes.

- The document discusses aligning design creativity in educational practice with effective use of technology and pedagogical principles. It proposes the learning design methodology to make the design process more explicit, shareable, and informed.
- Key aspects of the Open University Learning Design Initiative are presented, including tools to visualize designs, methods to share ideas through events and cloudworks, and an emerging evidence base to understand the design process.
- Various forms of representing designs are described, such as task swimlines, course maps, and pedagogy profiles, to help designers see curriculum differently and foreground different aspects.
The document presents a model for implementing asynchronous online discussions in secondary schools that was evaluated through a research study. The study aimed to critically evaluate and further develop the model by assessing its pedagogical relevance, effectiveness in enabling teachers to design discussions, and impact on supporting student learning. Feedback was gathered from teachers and students during a pilot implementation and the model was refined before a full research version was tested during the fall semester. The model focuses on establishing foundations like training and access, teaching design with roles and assessment, and facilitating interaction through discussion techniques.
This document summarizes Gráinne Conole's presentation on teaching as a design science. It discusses how teaching can benefit from an evidence-based and creative design approach using learning design methodology. Conole outlines technological trends in education and challenges in teacher practice. She presents learning design as a way to promote reflection and encourage the sharing of teaching designs and resources. The presentation argues that disaggregation of education through open educational resources allows for more flexible learning pathways.
Slides from our Learning Design workshop in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 June 2017. An output from the ESRC-funded International Distance Education and African Students (IDEAS) project, in coodination with the African Network for Internationalization of Education.
The document discusses learning design and tools that can be used to support the learning design process. It describes learning design as both a process of planning learning activities and a product representing that design. Key aspects of learning design include using a shared design language and notational systems to represent and discuss designs. Challenges of learning design include balancing precision with the fuzzy nature of practice and balancing personal designs with those meant to be shared. Tools discussed that support learning design include CompendiumLD and Cloudworks.

Confidence Level Explicitation in collaborative SGmusart
Presentation of the paper by Mireia Usart, Margarida Romero and Esteve Almirall included in the SGDA 2011 Lisbon conference on Serious Games proceedings.
The document discusses time perspective and its relationship to learning in serious games and game-based learning environments. It defines time perspective as how individuals view the past, present and future. Previous research found that a balanced time perspective and stronger future time perspective can lead to higher academic achievement and motivation. The document aims to study how students' time perspectives influence collaborative learning processes and performance in serious games. It hypothesizes that students with similar time perspectives may perform better and learn more, and that games including time-related challenges could help students train their time competence.

The Science of Learning: implications for modern teachingDerek Wenmoth
Keynote presentation to the Educational Leaders hui Kōkiritia Marautanga held in Auckland on 26 June 2024. Provides a high level overview of the history and development of the science of learning, and implications for the design of learning in our modern schools and classrooms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

3. Design2Learn project
Aims to study the development of learning
scenarios that are more authentic,
contextualised and focused on learners,
through a co-design process involving
students and teachers in the negotiation of
the design principles of such scenarios
5. The design is by nature iterative and collaborative. It
requires discussion, reflection, critique and
implementation, so it works better in teams in which
there is a complementarity of skills and knowledge.
Being a cognitively demanding task, it requires tools
and representations that allow for abstraction to be
managed and understood (Goodyear &Retalis, 2010)
6. Assumptions
1. Co-design processes involving students and teachers can
facilitate the adoption of an inquiry-based learning model
mediated by a more mature and autonomous use of
technology by students in open and networked
environments.
2. Students’ participation in the co-design process can
integrate their perspective promoting deeper learning.
3. The use of tools for representing teaching and learning
practice, can facilitate the co-design process.
7. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
RQ1. What is the role of representation instruments in
supporting a co-design process (case stories, design
patterns, storyboards and diagrams) of IB and
TE/networked learning scenarios?
RQ2. How are participants’ roles and levels of intervention
negotiated, assigned and managed throughout the co-design
process?
RQ3. What are the stages and critical issues to consider in
the process of co-design?
8. Design-Based Research
A systematic, but flexible methodology aimed to
improve educational practice through iterative
analysis, design, development and implementation,
based on collaboration between researchers and
practitioners in real-world settings, and leading to
contextually-sensitive design principles and theories.

17. RQ1: Findings
• Instruments were very useful to support the co-design process, although
they need to be used in combination.
• Using too many instruments/guidelines in the same activity/session is
counterproductive.
• Need to improve the instruments used in the ideation phase: brainstorming
and ideas generation.
• Intruments need to address more directly the design principles, specially
the TEL ones.
• The prototyping process helps to systematise practice, specially for less
experienced teachers.
• Need to rethink prototyping session with Compendium LD in order to get a
better value of visual representation.
18. RQ1: Teacher’s comments (perception questionnaire)
“I think the hassle of completing the story board is compensated by having an
explicit, clear and comprehensive representation of all the elements
involved”. (A)
“The definition of a set of scenes and a number of characteristics of each
scene makes what needs to be defined perfectly dimensioned. On the other
hand, let’s first outline the general structure to go deeper into each scene
afterwards”. (X)
"The meeting was very similar to the previous one. I do not see much
difference between information that is provided for each scene and the
overview that gives each scene separately”. (R)
“The use of a graphical modelling system seems like a good idea and should
facilitate the task. However, semantic relations among components are not
clear and to what extent this tool complements or replaces the one
previously employed.” (R)
19. RQ2 & RQ3: data analysis
Qualitative analysis
- Workshops observation
- Perception questionnaire
RQ2. How are participants’ roles and
levels of intervention negotiated,
assigned and managed throughout
the co-design process?
RQ3. What are the stages and critical
issues to consider in the process of
co-design?
A Co-design GROUP DYNAMICS B Co-design CORE
A1 Attitude B1 Key issues
A2 Intervention B2 Design principles
A3 Decision taking B3 Tasks
A4 Conflicts B4 Emerging concepts / ideas
A5 Moderation B5 Problems / Difficulties
A6 Role taking B6 Reflective practice
A7 Collaboration B7 Time management / Stages
20. RQ2 & RQ3: Findings
• Importance of group configuration, anticipating absences, etc.
• Group dynamics can be very different depending on participant teachers
and researchers. At least 2 teachers involved per each context.
• The design always sits in a certain context and participants have difficulty
in abstracting and thinking in more general terms.
• It is important to avoid keeping the focus on the subject content,
especially in teamwork among teachers.
• It is useful to clarify concepts and practices associated with design
principles and recall them frequently.
• Researchers must be knowledgeable of the dynamics and the correct use
of the tools to redirect the process. Mistakes are not always discussed in
sufficient depth or doubts not enough clarified.
21. RQ2 & RQ3: Findings
• Great opportunity for reflective practice and for problem sharing.
• The structure of the sessions is a key aspect to ensure progress: avoid
spliting tasks between sessions, include a space for sharing and for
reflecting on what was done.
• Short tasks with mixed groups work better. Tasks that are too long
hinder productive discussion and emergence of new ideas.
• The final stage involves reflection and writing development outside the
sessions and costs more to be completed.
• TEL design principles are more difficult to implement: the problem is
placed in the virtual campus (UB / UOC).
22. RQ2 & RQ3: Teacher’s comments
“I think it's very appropriate to use concrete tasks with an allocated time as it
gives flexibility and facilitates everyone’s participation”. (F)
“The time setting should be improved as when we started discussing the
results of the previous week there were gaps in some aspects not
remembered. It could have been avoided if we had finished in the previous
session”. (F)
“The application of the IBL methodology proves to be a good tool to propose
new ways of targeting teaching. Almost without realizing it, we are
proposing highly innovative activities, in my case I am totally rethinking
the orientation of a subject. This generates high degree of uncertainty”. (R)
“These important methodological changes inevitably lead to rethinking the
role of the teacher. Perhaps there should be a more explicit alignment
between the methodology and the teaching model”. (R)
23. RQ2 & RQ3: Teacher’s comments
“It has been very instructive to know other teaching experiences and highlight
commonalities in the various stories, despite the diversity of subjects”. (X)
“The session has been very useful to analyze the real causes of some problems
and the factors that may influence them. The methodology is particularly
effective to reveal complex relationships between various elements that
apparently might seem disconnected”. (R)
“To relate our experiences with specific principles (design principles) helps
organize thinking, but it can also be somewhat forced”. (A)
“I would say I worked very naturally, and do not identify substantial
differences in the way teachers design activities normally. I mean in the
sense that the design principles, if we are incorporating them, we did it
naturally, without worrying too much or remembering to check whether
we were considering them”. (A)

27. General conclusions
• Need to identify the design activities and instruments used and
stimulate reflection on their function and usefulness in the
different sessions.
• Difficulty of progressing in analysing data to fuel the co-design
process as it develops.
• It is difficult for researchers to stand and reflect on their own
role/performance in the co-design process.
• Importance of sharing/discussing findings with participants.
28. General conclusions
“The key tensions of co-design persist across phases: teachers never have
enough time”.
“The social dynamic between teachers and researchers evolves over time,
particularly with regard to agency and ownership. In the beginning,
teachers did not begin with a strong sense of ownership in the project or a
clear sense of the roles that they would play”.
“A key benefit of engaging the teachers in co-design was professional
development. The co-design process offered teachers a chance to develop
and refine their own ideas about teaching”.
(Roschelle & Penuel, 2006)
29. RQ2 & RQ3: Teacher’s comments
“Personally throughout the session I felt increasingly motivated and I think the
other group members too. One expression of this is that we all felt that the
time had passed so quickly”. (X)
“The main motivation is to detect an improvement in each session and begin
to shape an activity applicable in the next academic year”. (X)
“This systematic reflection on our work is something we have little
opportunity to do, surely we miss it with frequency, and when we do, it is in
a very intuitive way, very focused on solving the specific problem right
now, but without such a global view of the relationships between the
different elements involved and the time to resolve them”. (A)

Design2Learn Project EDU2012-37537 Plan Nacional I+D+i.
Editor's Notes
To create these learning scenarios, as it is usual in the design approach, we use a participatory and collaborative methodology that is user centred or in this case student centred. This methodology of co-design involves the research team, several professors and students in the creation of these new learning scenarios.
Along the project we will work with 8 subjects from different areas of knowledge, the half of which will be from the UOC and the other half from the UB, meaning more that 8 teachers and around 16 students involved in the process.
This is a general overview of the research plan. We have just finished the 2nd stage in blue that has consisted in several co-design sessions that have involved the 6 teachers and the members of the research team. The results that I’m going to show you in a moment are based on the data collected during this period.
These are some snap shots of the co-design workshops. As you can see we have worked in small groups formed by researchers and teachers, there has been paper work, computer work, moments of sharing and exchange between groups, etc.
We have put into use different kind of instruments in order to support the co-design process throughout the co-design workshops. We can say these instruments act as mediating artifacts in the co-design process in the sense they help to jointly represent teaching practice in different ways and from different perspectives.
Some of these instruments could be considered quite typical in the field of learning design and some other belong more to the design domain. Actually we planed to focus much more on the use of design patterns based on the methodology proposed by Mor, Warburton and Winter (participatory pattern workshops) but we realised that teachers were not ready to it and we decided to use tailor-made instruments and strategies.
Changed to ‘ise’ spellings. Changed from ‘Matrice’ to ‘matrix’. Added spaces between some words.
This reflects the distribution of workshops and the instruments along the different phases of the co-design process. At this moment we have worked through the 4 phases in blue and have just started the last one with the participation of students until July.
This is an outline of the framework of analysis. The righ quadrant shows the 4 dimensions we are considering in the data collection and analysis: the development of the co-design workshops, the perception of the participants, the implementation of the designed scenarios (co-design product) and the assessment of the co-design products.
At this stage and for the present study we will just refer to the 2 dimensions on the left. For the data gathering we have conducted direct/undirect observations (we have recorded the group discussions) during the co-design workshops and we have asked the participants to fill in a questionnaire after each workshop in order to know the evolution of their perception along the process.
Going deeper into the 1st research question related with the role of the representation instruments used to support the co-design process, here we have the list of instruments that we have applied in each workshop. We have conducted a qualitative analysis of the collected data through the observation and the questionnaire. For this purpose we have used the list of categories that you can see in the slide to assess the usefulness of every instrument.
Next I’m going to present some findings resulting from a preliminar analysis of the collected data
This is a summary of some general findings regarding the research question 1. I’m not going to report in detail the assessment of each instrument but I’d like to present some general ideas that we consider can be of some interest.
In general we found that the instruments used proved to be very useful, although none of them was suitable to cover all the required aspects to support the co-design process (similar conclusions than XXXX), so they rather have to be used in combination. We have also identified some shortcomings such as: insufficient instruments or not adequate enough to support the elicitation phase, that is to say the process of brainstorming or ideas generation. On the other hand the instruments were not very useful in helping us to scaffold the integration of the design principles, specially those related with technology enhanced learning. Then in the prototyping phase we have used two different instruments (a storyboard and a visual diagram elaborated with the Compendium LD software) which resulted a little bit repetitive or redundant for some teachers.
Changed ‘heaviness’ to ‘hassle’ & switched word order in same comment. Corrected typo & word order in and second one.
We have taken some direct comments the participant teachers made in the questionnaire as they may be useful to illustrate these findings
Regarding the 2nd and the 3rd RQ more directly related with the group dynamics and the essential aspects of the co-design process we have also conducted a qualitative analysis and we have established the categories that you can see in the slide
As general conclusions we would like to do a little bit of meta analysis of the design based research approach to the co-design process
On the one hand are finding extremely difficult to analyse the data as the process develops as a means to redirect and improve the process of co-design. Although we are a quite big research team it is very demanding to organise the co-design sessions and at the same time to make progress with the data collection and analysis.
Then we have found that it is difficult for us as researchers to find the righ balance between expert – practitioner in the process? As a result there are very different behaviors among researchers and also among teachers. Actitud AmaliaIt is important for researchers to act proactively and stimulate dialogue, provide guidance, pose questions, etc.
Teachers who expect solutions, teachers who don’t, researchers who question the design, researchers that only suggest, etc.
We still dont have the answer and we think it is very important to directly ask participants what they think the role of researchers in the sessions among other things.
Who can take the role of co-designer?
Which are the most appropriate research methodsfor studying co-design processes in networked learning scenarios?
What kinds of research instruments are needed to collect relevant and productive research data during the co-design process?
What kind of conceptual and instrumental tools are necessary to support co-design processes in networked learning scenarios?
How can the co-design process and design outcomes be captured and represented??
How can co-designers assess the participatory design process?
How can the impact of networked learning co-design in terms of learning improvement be assessed?
And finally we have noticed some similarities with a previous study on co-design by Roschelle and Penuel.
It is necessary to be pacient, the process requires time. As the sessions progress teachers take more control of the process. At the begining they ask for more theory, they feel insecure with respect the design principles but as the sessions go on the felt more confident and they concentrated more easily in the assigned tasks.
Teachers need to follw they’re own path and we have to assume that they have their own conceptions
And ideas based on their own experience and they won’t always immediately agree to our proposals
In a group pf 6 teachers we found very differenet profiles (ifferences between UOC/UB teachers in the way they approach design and get involved in co-design)
However be think they all are doing their own proces and even if the changes they are introducing are small from our pint of view they are important for them. We expect to increase this effect in the sencond pahse of the process with the participation of students.
And here there are some more qutations of the participant teachers extracted from the questionnaire
I’d like to point out just some of them
