Workshop on Codesign for Instructional Design

Introduction

• Workshop Focus: It's a workshop, not just a talk. Expect to participate and work.
• Devices Needed: Participants will need laptops or similar devices for activities.
• Goal: Understanding codesign and study counseling in instructional design.

Codesign in Instructional Design

• Principles of Microlearning: Shift focus from long-term content structuring to short, motivating micro moments of learning.
• Tools and Approaches: Use tools that are most effective and sought after by students, not just those familiar to educators.

Importance of Codesign

• Involving Stakeholders: Engage all stakeholders (teachers, educational professionals, tech experts, students) in the design process.
• Integration for Technology Enhanced Learning: Necessary for sustainable and effective technology-enhanced learning environments.
• Community Engagement: To ensure continued use and engagement, involve the community in the design process.

Structure of Design

• Visual Language: Developed to bridge the gap between educators and computer scientists using a simplified graphical approach.
• Design Elements:
  • Actions by teacher and student
  • Learning objects (videos, tests, etc.)
  • Feedback
  • Emerging learning objects (learner-created artifacts)

Codesign with CODRA Language

• Focus: Shift from social/community learning to personalized learning moments centered on assessment and feedback.
• Activities: Defined actions by the learner and the micro-course system.
• Examples: Simple structure with tests and learning material flow.

Workshop Activity

• Task: Design a micro-course using provided templates and tools.
• Process: Download the template, work on it individually or in groups, and upload the design.
• Steps:
  • Include assessments strategically.
  • Utilize different formats (flashcards, notifications, etc.).
  • Save and upload design for review.
• Feedback: Fill out surveys on the experience.

Practical Application

• Micro-course Example: Experience a micro-course on study coordination.
• Tools Used: Moodle and Articulate for design and management.
• Procedure: Follow steps, engage with quizzes, and experience automated learning paths.
• Feedback: Provide feedback on the usability of the micro-course.

Discussion

• Challenges and Potentials:
  • Limited interaction possibilities
  • Ensuring assessments are completed
  • Over-reliance on certain activities or tools
• Considerations for Design:
  • Clarity in assessments and learning objectives
  • Engagement and interactivity
  • Flexibility and adaptability to personal learning needs
• Feedback and Insights from participants on survey results and personal experiences.

Closing

• Final Points: Importance of considering motivation, engagement, and appropriate use of tools in micro-course design.
• Appreciation: Thanking participants for their active involvement.
• Next Steps: Encouraging further exploration and application of codesign principles in future instructional designs.
