  1. PREELFrom Pedagogic Research to Embedded e-learning HEA E-learning Pathfinder Pilot Institute of Education BLE Showcase 14 February 2007

  2. Background • HEA Benchmarking pilot exercise 2005/6 • Observatory for Borderless Higher Education approach • 31 statements of good practice • Institutional Self-Assessment Document • Main result: pockets of excellent practice in e-learning, and several strong e-learning research communities in the IoE, but that there is a lack of coordination between them.

  3. E-learning Pathfinder project: PREEL • Aims to bridge the gap between e-learning research and e-learning practice within the IoE. • To embed e-learning approaches based on our research experience in course design, delivery and assessment, both at institutional and School levels • To produce staff development models based on these approaches • To further develop the e-learning elements of the Learning and Teaching Strategy • To further develop e-learning quality assurance processes FOCUS:to build on our strong e-learning research base in order to embed e-learning in our everyday teaching practice

  4. Stages of the project • Scoping study to identify areas of research which are most likely to have impact on IoE teaching practice • Course Leaders to submit proposals for the redesign of courses • Redesign of selected courses in collaboration with project team and researchers • Staff development activities • Course delivery 2006 to Jan 2007 Feb Mar to Aug Sep • Ongoing activities: • Dissemination • Evaluation • New L&T Strategy documents • New QA procedures

  5. Review of research • London Knowledge Lab (LKL) • Centre for Excellence in Work-based Learning (WLE) • London Centre for Leadership in Learning (LCLL) • Centre for Distance Education (CDE) • + all schools 24 researchers 39 research projects

  6. Research projects by theme/topic

  7. Technologies covered by research • Virtual Learning Environments • Online/web resources (eg. Teachers TV, educational sites) • Weblogs • Mobile technologies (mobile phones, PDAs) • Webconferencing • Digital video – DVDs • Interactive Whiteboards • Games • 3D virtual worlds (eg. Second Life) E-portfolios Wikis Instant messaging/chat

  8. Main clusters of research • Pedagogic planning – templates • Assessment strategies using technology • Exploring educational potential of games • Exploring educational use of newer technologies (Internet 2.0, m-learning, webconferencing) • Evaluation of use of technologies (IWB, DV, edu-websites)

  9. Research expected to impact e-learning practice • Pedagogic planner • Students experience • Model for embedded evaluation of courses • Model for staff development in online courses • Exploration of use of technologies in HE courses (webconferencing, blogs, m-learning, games)

  10. Selected courses to re-design 11 teams re-designing 14 modules A group of 4 modules within our large PGCE courses: • Professional practice  (Primary PGCE) • Teaching and learning with ICT in the subject classroom +  ICT secondary + Educational visits  (Secondary PGCE)  A group of 4 modules around research methods: • Research synthesis for policy and practice • Understanding educational research + Theory and policy in education: an introduction • Research methods  A group of 6 modules around a wide range of specific curriculum areas: • Early intervention: Working with young children with learning difficulties and disabilities • Global Trainer Graduate Certificate in Training for Development Education • Introduction to development education • Foundations for science education • Multimedia design • Choral conducting, leadership and communication

  11. Support received by teams • Days of release time at Full Economic Cost • Some money for materials • Days of support from the LTU team • Support from the PREEL team • Staff development activities

  12. Teams commitment • To redesign the module(s) • Submit the redesigned course for validation in June/October 2007, and run the redesigned course in 2007/8 • Participate in the PREEL training and sharing activities (both face to face and online) • Keep a record of the course redevelopment • Disseminate the experience through Project blogwww.lkl.ac.uk/research/benchmarking Reflecting Education - Special Issue February 2008

  13. Next step… • Launch meeting - end of February • Present report on research review • Present staff development plan • Start re-design activities
