Opportunities to learn with others
Who will I learn with?
![Page 15: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Digital• Connected• Experiential• Immediate• Social
Today’s learners: tomorrow’s learners ?

University of Melbournestudent survey (2007)
• 96% had mobile phone, 90% had desktop PC,76% had digital camera, 69% had MP3 Player
• Most common usage of computer based activities email (94%), creating documents (88%) playing digital music files (84%) search for information (general 83% and study 76%) communicating via instant messaging (80%)
• Students were also engaging with emerging technologies: blogs, file sharing, social networking, web-conferencing etc
![Page 17: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
My favourite piece of technology is my phone, because I record lectures. I am more likely to watch what I have recorded than to log on the [VLE] and to go through the long procedure of
finding something…Student, STROLL project

Addressing the need for newlearning spaces and opportunities
Combining virtual and physical spaces
![Page 23: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 25: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is a good learning environment?
Good learning environment provides:
• interaction with knowledge• interaction with the teacher• interaction with peers• opportunity to make mistakes and learn
from them• challenges• good resources
(Smith‘95)
![Page 26: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Student Success in College?
Academic achievement, engagement in educationally purposeful activities, satisfaction, acquisition of desired knowledge, skills and competencies, persistence, attainment of educational objectives, and post-college performance
![Page 27: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Provision of opportunities to learn in different ways.
How do I want to learn?
![Page 28: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Thinking about the student learning experience
• How can learners be provided with a range of learning opportunities?
• How can practitioners support learners with different needs, experiences and preferences?
• How can we design learning environments that:– support a wide range of learning tasks/interactions– meet different learner needs (access, competence)– enable positive learning experiences
• What would help to improve learners’ experiences and encourage active participation?
• How can we help learners improve their personal practice and effectiveness to become lifelong learners?
![Page 29: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Social spaces or learning spaces?
• Students spend more time out of class than in it• Learning occurs through conversations, web surfing,
social interactions, group work, spontaneous interactions•“Capture time” is particularly important for non-
residential students
![Page 33: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Broaden definition of learning
• Powerful pedagogical models (guided inquiry,apprenticeship, learning communities)
• Learning distributed across classroom, work,home, community
• On-demand and just-in-time• Collaborative• Dispersal of intellectual functions across physical,
social and symbolic supports
Dede, 2006
![Page 34: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Consider the options
• Visual: less reading, more visuals• Mixed delivery: mix online, face-to-face• Engagement: involvement similar to problem-
solving or games• Redesign space: space for learning not just for
instruction• Real: capitalizes on real world problems;
information can be applied to real situations• Social: interaction with others
Dede, 2006

eLearning the basics…Educationally led
not technology driven
How are my students going to learn from using these resources?
How can I encourage a student centred approach that promotes active learning?

Embedding technology within the curriculum
Some considerations:• learner / tutor backgrounds/skills?• access, technical concerns?• aligning with learning outcomes?• aligned within the module/programme/Dept• technical support, infrastructure?• students with different needs?• plagiarism?• assessment – who, when, how?
![Page 43: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Challenges to institutions
• Learner expectations• Learner Literacy Skills• Staff development• Managing perceptions• Moving from project based activities to
mainstream activities
![Page 44: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Addressing the challenges…
…thinking about the whole student experience – getting back to basics
![Page 45: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
‘Ultimately it is only the decisions which learners make about what they will or will not do which actually influence the
outcomes of their learning.'
[Boud, 1981]
![Page 46: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Learning basics – programme information
Programme documentation - timetable
• Module title and numbers• Programmes to which module contributes• Level and credit points• Modules leader and other staff information• Mode of delivery – distance, PT, FT – place of delivery • Aim and learning outcomes• Learning & teaching methods used (lectures, seminars etc)• Assessment (mode, weightings, links to LOs, detail)• Outline content• Indicative bibliography (essential reading)
![Page 47: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
before the course…common concerns of students
• I’m not sure how much work I will have to do on this course• I’m afraid I’ll get behind in my work• I’m worried I won’t get a good set of lecture notes• I’m dreading the prospect of assessments• I think I probably won’t be a good student• I don’t know how much I’ll be expected to read and what to
read for each subject• I’m not sure what a seminar is• I hope noone asks me to speak in class• I don’t want people to think I’m stupid • I’m not sure what to do if I get into difficulty on the course
(Habeshaw et al. 53 interesting ways of helping your students to study)
![Page 48: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Providing Learning Support
• Outlining the basics /key information – Handbooks, guides• Introductions /overviews - induction sessions, lectures• Additional support as needed - technical advice/help desks • Access to other students /tutors etc - online /offline• New Learning communities - Self-help groups/learning sets
• Prepare students for the process and ways of learning• Define key terms, key points/readings• Ensure equal access to resources (additional when needed)
• Believe that students can succeed Boud (2000) • Tutor belief in student’s ability to develop through their
efforts rather than innate ability is important (Yorke and Knight, 2004)

Feedback and achievement
• Where• Who
• When• How
![Page 51: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
“What is the one thing we should do toincrease student engagement and
success on our campus?” Kuh
NESSE study

National Survey of National Survey of Student EngagementStudent Engagement(pronounced “nessie”)
Community College Community College Survey of Student Survey of Student EngagementEngagement(pronounced “cessie”)
College student surveys that assess the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development
![Page 53: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Deep approaches to learning are important because students who use these approaches
tend to earn higher grades, and retain, integrate and transfer information at higher rates
(Nelson Laird, Shoup, Kuh, & Schwarz, in press).
![Page 54: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Integrating ideas or information from various sources
• Included diverse perspectives in class discussions/writing
• Put together ideas from different courses
• Discussed ideas with faculty members outside of class
• Discussed ideas with others outside of class
• Analyzing the basic elements of an idea, experience, or theory
Essential Learning Outcomes: NSSE Deep/Integrative Learning
• Synthesizing & organizing ideas, info., or experiences
• Making judgments about the value of information
• Applying theories to practical problems or in new situations
• Examined the strengths and weaknesses of your own views
• Tried to better understand someone else's views
• Learned something that changed how you understand an issue

Different ways to demonstrate andsupport learning…
• Robson (2005) argues that as well as offering a variety of different assessment methods across a course, students should be presented with a choice of ways to complete an individual assignment
• ‘same assessment different process’
“sustainable assessment meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of students to meet their own future learning needs.” (Boud)
![Page 57: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Providing a range of assessment methods…
essay, report, letter, journal, diary, project present a case, write an article, portfolio, learning contract, dissertation, applied task, problem, objective test, produce a poster, make a video, review, briefing paper, oral, write a question, performance, debate, role play, written exam, concept map, develop a plan, produce A-Z, answer client’s Qs, diary…
Linking assessments to learning outcomes…
![Page 58: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Assessment as learning - Sadler (1989)
• Students must know what the standard or goal is that they are trying to achieve (assessment guidance) Frontload assessment
• They should know how their current achievement compares to those goals (feedback) sustainable assessment for lifelong learning
• They must know how to take action to reduce the gap between the first two (applying feedback to future assignments )– FEED FORWARD
![Page 59: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Feedback is arguably the most important aspect of the
assessment process for students(Black & Wiliam 1998)
![Page 60: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Ensure that students obtain feedback on their learning
![Page 61: Innovations to support learning Dr Jen Harvey, AHEAD symposium 28 April 2009.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e555503460f94b4cd18/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Thinking about feedback: what, when, how, who?
• informal feedback from tutors/students• tutorial/presentation feedback forms• linked to self-assessment questions• scoring/ marking grids• student surgeries • meetings/ interviews with students• interim project plans/synopses/presentations• learning contracts /portfolios
