Introduction to Subject
Learning EnvironmentAccess to technologyLearner’s digital literacyIntegration in current curriculum.
What is Scientific Temper or Thinking?Understanding was left to be developed from internet material .
How can story of these scientists help in instilling scientific thinking?
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Subject Concept 2 :: Story Telling in Comic format
Concept 1:: Story Telling
Concept 3 :: Science Process SkillsDeveloping certain skills in a learner would be of value. But not sure if we will still achieve our objective.
Do you develop scientific thinking
skills by reading stories?
Visual format of story telling can create interest. But, our main objective of scientific thinking remains an issue.
Concept Evaluation Method
How the change in design approach impacts the given subject content?
What is the difference in role of designer and SMEs? Do they give subject content or their ideas on its implementation also?
In-depth analysis of each concept.
Possible roles of technology
Concept
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Approach 1: Work on the concept and ask SMEs to give inputs.SMEs = Evaluators
Approach 2:Discuss with SMEs about the new concept and ask them to work further on the content.
Questions:How to convince SMEs about the new concept?How to help SMEs visualize / conceptualize in their minds? (till they don’t see the prototype)

5 Step Process
Focus on developing a series of learning activities from both a pedagogical and technical perspective.
Story of characters and scientist became trivial.
Questioned our approach – scientist story to develop scientific thinking.
Path redefined.
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Many learning activities did not seem appropriate for digital media. Guidance or teacher intervention was absolutely necessary.
Questions:Is ANY subject content appropriate for digital media?Who would be the right individual (designer, SMEs or others) to review the process and at what stages of the project?What are the measures to identify appropriate subject / areas of work that can exploit digital media to the maximum?
Questioning the Approach

Idea Bank
In the entire process, there is been a good collection of useful resources – links, ideas for activities (online and offline), technological ideas which did not get interwoven in the final concept.
Questions:How to develop a process of effective and timely documentation of resources generated?
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Plethora of tools and resources
Enormous potential but underused
Wealth of knowledge about learning
Didactic/behaviourists models predominate
Gap between the potential of the technologies
(confusion over how they can be used)&
Application of good pedagogical principles(confusion over which models to use)
How to approach as a designer?
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Learner centric
Role of learner in organizing their own learning space and pace.
Use of technology in providing various tools / mediums of learning based on learner’s choice.
Recognize different forms and contexts of learning.
Development and adoption of new pedagogies.
www.azimpremjifoundation.org
Questions
How is the Web Based approach going to change our thinking?What comes first - Design of DLR or creating a framework for web based DLR?
