The Challenge
“This course contains an overflow of information”
“Lets just create a course for this”
Is it a learning programme or a
collation of content?

Impact of Supporting ICT
Increased access to resources,
information, knowledge

Emergence of new methods of teaching
and learning

But…
• Deployment of technologies such as VLE/LMS usually perpetuates transmissive modes
• Aim seems to be efficiency of delivery rather than improving the learning experience

Leading to…
Dissatisfactory Use of
Technology
Decontextualised Information
Dumping of Content
Poor learning design leading to unsatisfactory student learning experience with poor results

Importance of Learning Design
Design Purpose
1. What do learners need
to learn?
2. How can we help learners
learn?
3. How will we know learners have learned?
4. How can we sure of good
quality learning?

The Three Presences

eLearning Tools

eKnowledge
• Share informational content • Easily and appropriately accessible
![Page 10: eLearning or eKnowlege: What are we providing for students?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5564e0e1d8b42afb268b45bf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Need for Knowledge Management
Need for on-demand learning activities
Make sense of the plethora of information
Collect, organise and share organisational information and experiences to create additional value

Implications
Rethink course outlines and learning objectives
Sharper focus on instructional resources
Utilise well-structured informational resources
to be found at the moment of need
Clarify the approach best suited to a
particular learning purpose
Spend more time guiding learners to find, interpret, evaluate and
use content
Rethink the HOW in the design of our learning
provision

Reflection
1. What is the purpose of the content and resources you are providing for students?
2. How are you using technology to support your teaching and learning approach?
