In week 4, we learn about learning designs.

The term "learning design" is a representation of the learning experience to which students are exposed, as adapted from the reading "Describing ICT-bsed learning designs that promote quality learning outcomes".

Three elements of learning environement:

1. Tasks (represented by rectangle)
   
2. Resources (represented by triangle)
3. Supports (represented by circle)

There are four principles of learning design that support quality learning outcomes:

1. Learner engagement: Consideration of learner's prior knowledge, desires and expectation
2. Acknowledgment of the learning context: Consideration of implementation of learning design
3. Learner challenge: Active participation of learners
4. Provision of practice: Articulate and demonstrate what are they learning

The Jonassen (2000) framework describes learning as a range of activity or problem settings comprising 11 problem types. However, there is three discrete forms of learning within the 11, namely rule-based, incident-based and strategy-based forms. In addition to these three, the reading suggested the fourth type of learning design: role-based.

Rule-based:

• Primarily comprised of closed tasks whose completion requires the application of some form of rules, procedures or algorithms.
• Resouces: procedural and system descriptions
  
• Tasks: provide learners with opportunities to meaningfully and reflectively apply procedures and processes to specific closed, logical and bounded tasks.
  

Incident-based:

• The learning activity is based around learners' exposure to, and participation in, events or incidents of an authentic and real nature.
• Requires learners to reflect and take decisions about the action and events.
• Resources: rich descriptions and information about the incident and event upon which the learning is based.
• Supports: Integrated into into the learning environment - access to class meetings, tutorials, computer laboratories, online discussion, file storage, etc.
  

Strategy-based:

• Characterized by such activities as as complex and ill-defined tasks, decision-making tasks, some troubleshooting tasks, dianogsis solutions and strategic performance tasks.
• Learning is based around tasks that require strategic planning and activity.
• Resources: authentic resources that support multi-perspectives, expert judements, descriptions of theoretical underpinnings
• Support: teacher acting as coach/facilitator; collaborative learning tasks. Provision of meaningful opportunities and contexts for articulation and reflection.
  

Role-based:

• Learners acquire skills, knowlegde and understanding through the assumption of roles within real-life settings.
• Purposeful and directed preparation
• Learning achieved through leaners' participation as players and participants in a setting
• Learners apply judgements and make decisions based on understanding of the setting in real-time scenarios.
• Resouces: procedural descriptions, role definitions, resources to deine and guide roles, scenarios, topical content and cases.
• Support:Role of teacher as moderator/mentor. Provision of meaningful opportunities and contexts for articulation and reflection.

During tutorial, we had to do a version on the com, and my group did up one as shown in the previous post...
