Student Design for Learning

What are DLOs?

Digital entity or content object using ‘different media modalities (and often interactivity) to represent data, information, reality, concepts and ideas…designed to afford educational reuse. - Churchill, 2007, p.484

 

Student Design for Learning (SDL)

The potential for enhancing learning, by the process and the product. How potentially can we think of all of those principals (MAPIC) in designing learning for students that enhances the potential for learning through the DLO.

Student Multi-Modal Design for learning

Authentic purpose / Audience.

Creating a Prescribed Checklist to include in the task:

The items in the checklist are design features.

The features will help others learn from the video.

We control the constrains of the task by designing what we include or don't include. e.g. adding in key vocabulary that you want them to include in the checklist.

The Five Modes

A mode, quite simply, is a means of communicating. According to the New London Group, there are five modes of communication: visual, linguistic, spatial, aural, and gestural.

So What?

• How much do we utilise the blog comments of peers in their own class for feedback etc?
• Nudge tasks and expectations. We need to give students opportunities to create media for sharing.
• Moving from Slides to Screencastify. 
  
  
  
• Getting students to use their voice to explain their thinking in their own words.
• Students nudging up their poetry posts... how can they include audio? 
• Reading aloud and using their own voice etc - 
• ScreenCastify, highlighting the poetic devices.
• GO back and look at "Interactions" slides.
