May 13 – June 28, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n Welcome to EDCI335! In this course we will be exploring the practice of learning design and its application to interactive learning environments. Follow this schedule for your weekly tasks and assignments.<\/p>\n There are three primary platforms used for this course<\/p>\n Bookmark these sites so that you can return to them easily.<\/p>\n What is learning? What gets in the way of our learning and what supports it? In this first week we’ll be getting set up on WordPress and Mattermost, signing up for Learning Pod\/Groups and exploring some of the foundational theories in Learning and Motivation that are used in Learning Design.<\/p>\n Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n By the end of this week, you will be able to:<\/p>\n Read\/Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n To Do by May 19<\/strong><\/p>\n How do we know when someone has learned something? How do we know that our evaluations of learning are meaningful and equitable? This week we take closer look at a key part of the learning design process – assessment.<\/p>\n Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n By the end of this week you will be able to:<\/p>\n Read\/Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n To do by May 26<\/strong><\/p>\n This week we take a deeper dive into what types of learning activities are most effective at promoting learning. We’ll be looking at David Merrill’s work on the First Principles of Instruction, a classic in the field, and learning how to design lessons around solving real world problems.<\/p>\n When we design for learning we need to pay attention to the learning environment that we create. Who does it serve? And who is excluded? What design decisions can we make that ensure that the fewest number of students experience barriers to their learning? The Universal Design for Learning principles are a helpful framework to check that your learning design is inclusive of as many learners as possible.<\/p>\n When have you felt excluded from a learning environment? What do you think could have been done to make it more inclusive?<\/p>\n Read\/Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n To Do by June 9<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n How do learning designers think about interaction in online environments? How do learning designers encourage interaction? This week we take a look at learning activities that allow learners to apply the theories and principles that they’re learning, a practice that research has shown greatly increases learning retention. We’ll also take a look at technologies that support social interaction between learners, another powerful learning strategy.<\/p>\n What experiences have you had with interactivity in learning environments? How did the interaction (or lack of interaction) affect your learning? Your enjoyment? What impact has technology had on your learning?<\/p>\n Read\/Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n To do by June 16th<\/strong><\/p>\n This week you’ll you will use this last week to finish your Interactive Learning Resource with your Learning Pod\/Group. You will also submit your blog for review, including all of your posts and comments, and choose the best post for grading.<\/p>\n To do by June 19th<\/strong><\/p>\n To do by June 23rd<\/strong><\/p>\n To do by June 28<\/strong><\/p>\n Have a great summer!<\/strong><\/p>\n Topics, readings, and schedule are approximate and may be changed.
