DEE 2009 Cardiff Standardisation & Flexibility in Teaching

This article explores the need for standardisation in teaching to ensure consistency across different modules and delivery venues, while also allowing for flexibility and creativity. It discusses the role of technology, commercial pressure, and the development of materials. The article also presents a sample scalable delivery unit and examines emerging trends in structured materials and differentiated teaching roles.

  2. Need for Standardisation Ensure consistency: across different modules; same module ― different delivery venues. Two forces: quality of learning experience; economy of delivery. Creativity of teacher? Technology?

  3. Commercial Pressure Delivery at larger scale: multiple classes; multiple locations; repeated over time. How to develop materials? How to ensure consistency? Role of teacher?

  4. Extreme Cases “Genius” Sketch of session; improvised delivery; flexible follow-up materials. “Script” Detailed session plan; rigid delivery to script; fixed materials.

  5. Questions How much time to prepare? How effective for student learning? How scalable? How transferable?

  6. Technology Two main innovations: VLE for student interface; LCMS for material development. Learning Content Management System (XML) write into templates; compile from pool of shared materials; range of roles (author, lecturer, tutor, …); one source, multiple outputs.

  7. Sample: A Scalable Delivery Unit “Week 3 of Finance 101” Shared weekly structure for all modules; pre-session materials via VLE, common format; background reading for lecturers/tutors; skeleton slides for lecturers, plus background notes; “core case” for lecture; free exposition of fixed case; exercises via VLE, plus notes for tutors; post-reading & backup materials via VLE.

  8. Creativity? Lecture Session open delivery, different in different venues; but common core case; common backup materials Lecturer as “moderator” Materials access shared pool before session; return added materials after session.

  9. Emerging trends Structured materials Structured delivery Differentiated teaching roles Authoring vs teaching

  10. Useful Readings Look for: Gilly Salmon; Diana Laurillard.
