OLnet Fellowship at Open University
September/October 2011
Prof Sandra WillsUniversity of Wollongong
My OLnet Fellowship objectives:
build researcher discussions within Cloudworks around an existing rich collection of learning designs on online role play and simulation
refine frameworks for description of CSCL learning test visualisation metaphors for accessing learning design descriptions in repositories
“…there is as yet no convergence on a single protocol or even on an appropriate language, level, medium etc for representing effective design” and discipline-specific research on learning designs or within self-identified design communities is “more likely to lead to the development of educationally meaningful dialogues”
Beetham, 2008
