Some research and development work on the personalisation agenda

Professional Standards for Teachers by Ian Terrell — last modified 2007-08-31 22:41
These are the TDA standards required (Core, Post Threshold, Excellent Teacher and Advanced Skills Teacher). Use this web site for needs analysis and self assessment. Make sure your portfolio assignments can be used to demonstrate acehivementy of the appropriate standards.

Original abstract

Posted by Stephen Powell at 2007-09-07 03:10
There is a growing international discourse surrounding personalisation of the learning experience and the role that technology can play in this. If accepted as a starting point, personalisation demands that the learning experience should respond to the diversity of the needs of the individual student rather than the student conforming the norms and imposed by institutions and those who work within them.

A new phase of learning technologies often referred to as web 2.0 are burgeoning on the Internet. These technologies offer the potential for learners and institutions to develop approaches to learning and teaching that value user-generated content based upon social networks. This view of learning is described as ‘connectivism’ and it is the new technologies that make it a particularly powerful model for understanding the potential dynamics of online learning.

This paper sets out to identify and explain some of the tensions that arise from a wholly online, workbased, research degree that was designed to maximise the opportunity for personalisation through individual negotiation of a learning pathway, and use online communities of inquiry as the primary delivery tool.

1. Unpack the personalisation rhetoric and to describe one such approach (Ultraversity) to work-based / work-integrated personalisation using e-learning pinpointing key tensions.

2. The student experience of personalised e-learning using use UV data (questionnaire, interviews, etc.)

Discussion on Personalisation Paper

Stephen Powells ideas

Posted by Ian Terrell at 2007-09-07 03:10
Institutional challenges

How to provide:

...different route to same end point - pace, credits, recognition prior learning...

...equity of opportunity and provision - accessibility, technology

...choice of modules and curriculum - inter-institutional, across faculties, customised

....organisational change - staff and curriculum development, process and rule changes

....financialy viable models - use of technology that reduces the burden of supporting learning interactions and transactions, interrogation of personalised sources of material and data

...robust quality assurance - mapping of course outcomes (route) to award requirements


Learner choices

Where and when do I learn? - place and time

Who do I learn with? - age, sex, religion, ethnicity, nationality...

What do I learn? - timescales, modules, curriculum objectives

How do I learn? - activities, assessment products, ICT tools

Who do I want to accredit my learning? - multiple institutions

What is my role as a learner? - self-directed, peer support, self-identification of learning needs


Teaching (instructional) challenges

Teacher-learner dialogue - collaboration in the learning process

Differentiation - negotiation of aims, outcomes, objectives, processes, assessment products, assessment criteria, target setting

Assessment - 'unique' portfolios of inquiry reports, and ICT rich products

Rich feedback - formative and summative covering knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes

Expanding role - mentor, coach, guide, facilitator, 'trajectory manager', modeller of behaviour

Planning - for multiple learning activities, different learning styles, and including interaction with (real) people (experts)

Adapting to outside world - societal and technological developments

Authoring

Posted by Ian Terrell at 2007-09-07 03:10
A nice framework perhaps although I am not sure what we are saying that is original, perhaps because it needs the text. the longer we wait the more leikley someone has already said it.

I would add the ability to author assignments to show level criteria in a variety of electronic forms to suit different thinking styles/communication styles etc.

Originality

Posted by Stephen Powell at 2007-09-07 03:10
I don't think any of the above is original as such, but then neither is personalisation. However, my intention was to first unpack the personalisation rhetoric to describe a possible 'pure' form of personalisation. Next, use UV data (questionnaire, interviews, etc.) to identify an experience of personalised, work-based / work-integrated e-learning from the student stand point.

BTW, I came across this recently http://www.open.ac.uk/cobe/about.shtm it is a unit at the OU that researchers approaches to work-based learning - not sure why I never came across it before...
