UK: e-Learning Publications Put Learners at the Heart of Curriculum Development

From the Post:

Three new publications showcasing recent JISC research into curriculum design and the needs and aspirations of digital learners are being launched today at the Association for Learning Technology conference in Manchester.

[Snip]

1) The first publication, Responding to Learners, is a resource pack which offers recommendations on how institutions can better respond to learners’ expectations and uses of technology, as well as practical guidance on how to embed learners’ voices more effectively into institutional processes and practice.

The pack brings together the research findings from the ‘learners’ experiences of e-learning’ theme of JISC’s e-learning programme, which funded a total of ten projects from 2005 to 2009, and involved over 200 learners in qualitative research with more than 3000 survey respondents.

[Snip]

2) e-Learning is explored from a strategic viewpoint in a second publication, Managing Curriculum Change, which investigates how technology can help make curriculum design processes more responsive and the experience of learning more engaging, inclusive and rewarding. The publication visualises a curriculum lifecycle, with a focus on who needs to be involved to help theory become reality.

[Snip]

3) [Our Emphasis] The third publication, a briefing paper on learning literacies for a digital age, summarises findings from a recent JISC-funded report of the same name.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
