Designing learning experiences for soft competence acquisition:
*iCamp: innovative, inclusive, interactive & intercultural learning campus
and beyond

What can we do?• What is iCamp doing: overview of what we
learnt in field trials
• Towards new learning design model: interventional, ecological
• Planning for activities and landscapes
• Recording affordances of learning spaces
• How to visualize learning space as a niche
• iCamp Folio testing

iCamp project (http://www.icamp.eu)
• Intervention strategies for educational design in a formal higher-educational setting
• Supporting competence advancement in self-directing, social networking, and collaboration
• Applying the distributed web 2.0 landscapes in parallel with institutional learning systems
• Favouring learning across national borders
![Page 4: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Intervention is needed
• Learners should not only plan, conduct and monitor their activities in institutionally offered walled and protected learning environments.
• For achieving their various personal and group objectives, learners must gain competences of choosing the most suitable environments and plan their activities.
![Page 5: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How should we teach it?• Challenging learning environments and real-life tasks• Building Personal Learning Environments (PLE)• Getting connected with other PLEs• Competences to cope with tools• Planning activities • On my own and with the others• Collaboration and networking• Self-directing and -reflecting
• Interoperable tools?

• Most of the groups used conquer-and-divide cooperation (but not collaboration) strategy.
• Each member did their parts (most of them used Word and then later copied-and-pasted the text in their blogs for group-mates/facilitator to view/comment).
• Towards the final stage, students glued up the parts together as the final joint artifact.
It didn’t work so well!

Self-reflecting personal learning experiences
Blogs can be effectively used for self reflection using various templates.
![Page 16: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The student fills in personal contract.
In the middle of the project another student and the facilitator will comment students’ success in the contract.
In the end of the project contract is used as part of evaluation
Self-directing and personal contracts
Learners don’t know how to formulate THEIR objectives

Towards new model • Using traditional ID model reduces the
complexity level of learners‘ objectives and actions, presuming that facilitator can determine these instead of learners.
• Design elements of courses are sequential and leave little space for self-directing and developing the self-reflection competences.
• How does integrating the elements of self-direction into learning change the whole setting?
![Page 26: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Towards new model• Difficulties in forming the shared spaces for actual
group-work • Student-centered learning landscape formation
takes time and a lot of grounding and testing the spaces - the shared space changes dynamically
• The need for the different type but entwined spaces both for shared regulation and for creating the joint product
• Teams may not use the learning environments effectively and need external feedback to get better impression how thet work
![Page 28: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Towards new model
• Learners have few possibilities of making judgements on tools and services of their learning landscapes.
• The activities of learning designs copy the facilitator‘s workingstyle and apply his/her personal preferences of learning landscapes on learners.
• Supports uneven distribution of competences between the educational specialists (designers, facilitators) and learners.
![Page 29: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Learner’s initial idea:•User as central owner of the personal landscape•Information flow between tools is not perceived•Tools are categorized by functionalities
In Web 2.0 learners need design-based thinking.
![Page 30: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Landscape view does not show activity sequences
We must see learning activities patterns in learning landscapes – How?
![Page 31: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The activity diagram does not show how landscape looks like.
Collaborative writing and learning from it
Self-reflection and analysis
Sharing files
Communication with peers
Interest- or community-based reading weblogs
Based on weblog information searching videos, images, books
Marking important information found from weblogs
Individualized aggregation of information
Both the landscape and activity diagram views are needed to describe learning!
Do we need some rules for learners how to draw?
![Page 32: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Towards new model • Instructional Design models focus mainly on
planning the teaching- and learning sequences and the activity patterns but less to the learning environment design as a whole Activity System.
![Page 33: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Towards new model • Facilitator perceives different learning
affordances than students• Learners in groups percieve different
affordances
• How do learners perceive affordances? • Is there a certain common affordance space for
realizing certain objectives?
![Page 35: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
An ecological view• Populations inhabit abstract spaces or niches.• Each niche is defined by several ecological
characteristics, which can be seen as fitness gradients.• There is interdependence of the organism and the niche
- one doesn’t exits without another.
• So in new ID models, let’s forget the TOOLS with fixed functions, INSTRUCTIONS that always make people do similar things – we need to define the learning spaces as a niches.
• Niche for certain learning populations can be described by affordances, niche can be repeated even if using different tools.
![Page 36: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We need to collect and reuse effective activity descriptions
We need to collect and reuse learning landscape ideas
We need to consider in course designs what the actual users would perceive
in new learning landscapes
We need define learning niches as abstract affordance spaces – then they are repeatable
![Page 37: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Toolsets today• If to play simple try Powerpoint or Gliffy.com and the
icon-set • For Mac: try Omnigraffle
– Landscape: mashup stencil from Scott Wilson
http://zope.cetis.ac.uk/members/scott/blogview?entry=20061128164108
– Activity pattern stencil from Priit Tammets
http://www.graffletopia.com/stencils/360• Multi-perspective exploration tool:• http://kerg.tlu.ee/demos/multi-perspective-exploration

Tasks for pairs• 1. Draw a diagram of:
a) your landscape b) one activity pattern you can do at this landscape (in Gliffy.com, Powerpoint or Omnigraffle) and share the link here or sent to [email protected]
• 2. Discuss and analyze your landscape – which affordances you perceive when doing this activity? Fill data into Excel table (raw.xls).
• Record affordances in shared spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=ps4XWyM81HM2xgkE5MkbfVw

Action verb + artifact or/and subject noun + adjectives
A soft ontological way to describe affordances:
![Page 43: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How to find a niche• Grouping affordances into onto-dimensions• Soft-ontological categories can be clustered by simple semantic
categorization emerging from affordance descriptions
• Alternatively a pre-defined set of pedagogically sound categories may be used for grouping
![Page 44: Macedonia Icamp](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e7df7b4af9f58708b4a3e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
How to find a niche• Calculate each onto-dimension as a fitness landscape gradient in
respect of tool usage
• Niche as an abstractn-dimensional learningspace can be definedby many affordanceonto-dimensions
