Objective

• Students become familiar with the key concepts, competing theories and approaches of designing Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL)

• In collaboration with international students they will develop practical skills of setting up, implementing and evaluating the use of distributed set of integrated TEL systems and tools, and they will design a prototype of an advanced TEL course


Contents

• Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) concept

• Designing TEL: design process, selection of technology, constructing TEL environment

• Implementing TEL• Evaluating TEL


Learning objectives

After this course • Students will be capable to describe

characteristics of TEL• Students will be capable to define main stages

of designing TEL• Students will be proficient to design and

implement pedagogically well-grounded web-course

• Students will be competent to assess pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

GATHERING IDEAS

PEDAGOGICAL SCRIPTING

TECHNOLOGICAL SCRIPTING

CONSTRUCTING THE COURSE ENVIRONMENT

OUTCOME:A TEL

COURSE DESIGNED BY

YOU


Course assignments and assessment

• Grading 0-5– Based on

• Pedagogical decisions and script for your course• Technological decisions and script for your course,

course environment • Overall activity and participation in face-to-face

sessions and team’s collaboration– The more detailed evaluation criteria for scripts and

course environment will be presented when starting with these assignments


Google Drive / Google Docs

as a writing tool• All the teams create Google documents for

their teamwork– Gathering ideas– Writing the pedagogical and technological scripts

• The documents will be shared with the team, the teacher (Venla) and later with peer and/or teacher evaluators

• For collaboration you can use also other tools and meet face-to-face as much as you want to

• You can find lots of tutorials for Google Drive from YouTube


Reading materials

• Dillenbourg, P. (1999). What do you mean by ‘collaborative learning’?

• Resta & laferriere (2007). Technology in support of collaborative learning

• Kollar, fischer & hesse (2006). Collaboration scripts: a conceptual analysis

• Kreijns, Kirshner & Jochems, (2003) Identifying the pitfalls for social interaction in computer-supported collaborative learning environments: a review of the research.

• Siemens & Tittenberg (2009). Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning.

• And/or other current readings in the field of Technology-Enhanced Learning


The process of Designing TEL


Design process

1. Defining the general framework of the course

2. Writing a pedagogical script for the course

3. Writing a technological script for the course

4. Technical implementation of the course (and testing)


Defining the general framework of the course

• Defining the target group (who is this course designed for?)

• What are the main aims and contents of this course?

• Why do we use technology in this course? Why should this be for example a webcourse? (from student’s perspective and from teacher’s perspective)

• Scheduling and work division• Scope and workload of the course• How will it be practically implemented? Are all

the activities on-line? Collaborative and/or independent studying? International/national setting?


Pedagogical script

• Defining the pedagogical decisions of the course– Learning theory– Description of the pedagogical model– Description of teacher’s role– Learning materials– Evaluation/assessment


Technological script

• A concrete plan and guideline how to construct the course environment (and or use other technical tools in the course)– Description of the basic idea of the technological

implementation– Visual design and structure of the web environment– Possibilities and tools for communication and other

actions– Web materials / digital learning materials– Testing the environment and tools


Technical implementation and testing

• Texts and instructions• Pictures and videos• User accounts• Plan for technical support if needed• Structuring the web environment• Checking and finalizing• Testing: pedagogical testing, content testing

and technical testing


Forming the teams

Choose your team of 3-5 students!


The first decisions you should make…

• What is the topic of your course? What is the course about?

• What is the target group of your course?• What do you want the participants to learn?

What are the main learning goals of your course?

• What are the first ideas about the technical implementation of your course?


For the next time:1. Create a Google document (using Google Drive/Docs) and share it

with all of your team members (create google/gmail accounts if you don’t have them already) and with Venla ([email protected])

2. If you haven’t used Google Drive/Docs before, you can watch tutorials from YouTube

3. Start gathering ideas, plans and questions to that document:– What decisions you have made already? What still needs to be decided?– Any new ideas about the topic, target group, implementation,

technologies?– Any interesting links, videos, articles you have found?– Any questions or problems?

4. Read at least two of the following articles:– Dillenbourg, P. (1999). What do you mean by ‘collaborative learning’?
