3. “supporting learning in…” 3

4. 4 From knowledge providers to learning designers

5. But you don’t need me to tell you this… 5

6. The Challenge How do we support educators’ shift from knowledge providers to learning designers? How do we leverage design experiences as drivers of learning? 6 Despite the growing number of learning design tools, repositories of case studies and exemplars, standards and specifications, evidence of widespread uptake and adoption remains scattered and inconclusive. (Conole et al 2008)

7. A Culture of Learning Design How do we - Facilitate design-level conversation among educational practitioners? Represent design knowledge in (technology-enhanced) education? Enculturate educators as learning designers? Establish a discourse of learning design that is scientifically valid and yet widely accessible? 7

9. Pattern Language Network (Planet) 9 JISC (UK) Funded, 15 months, 26 workshops, 6 groups, ~100 case stories, ~30 patterns Directed by Prof. Janet Finlay My role: lead the methodology, facilitate workshops, technical development

10. Participatory Pattern Workshops Methodology Problem Acceleration -> need for effective protocols for sharing of design knowledge Context interdisciplinary communities of practitioners engaged in collaborative reflection on a common theme of their practice. blended setting: co-located meetings + on-line collaborative authoring system. 10

11. PPW framework 11 Co-authored with Niall Winters and Steven Warburton

12. Design Narratives Workshop 12 Engender collaborative reflection among practitioners by a structured process of sharing stories.

14. Pattern Mining Workshop 14 Shift from anecdotes to transferable design knowledge by identifying commonalities across case stories, and capturing them in a semi-structured form.

15. Future Scenarios Workshop 15 Validate design patterns by applying them to novel real problems in real contexts.

22. A Design Narrative… Is an account of critical events in a design experiment from a personal, phenomenological perspective. Focuses on design in the sense of problem solving describing a problem in the chosen domain, the actions taken to resolve it and their unfolding effects. Portray the complete path leading to an educational innovation not just its final form – including failed attempts and the modifications they espoused. 22

23. A design narrative should.. Provide an account of an aspect of a design experiment, in the voice of the designer / researcher / participant. Clearly delineate the context of the design experiment and its educational goals. Present a documented record of the protagonists’ actions and their effect. Incorporate data collected and processed in appropriate scientific methods. Decouple reporting events from their interpretation. Be followed by a statement of the derived conclusions, linking them clearly and explicitly back to the narrative. 23

25. From Narratives to Design Patterns Identifya prominent design feature in a design narrative, linked to a desired outcome. Capture the design feature using a core template of Problem, Context, and Solution. Corroborate with other narratives. Express the problem as a configuration of forces. Define the context of the pattern by the situational characteristics common to all supporting narratives. Articulate the solution in the most specific detail that is still consistent with all supporting narratives. 25
