2 3.1.1 Creating a vision statement for intended learning design
Activity: (estimated timing 35 min).

In this three part activity you will be developing a vision statement for your course, reflecting on how your course design will represent this vision statement and sharing your statement and reflections with other course participants in the forum.

1. Identify your vision words

For the first part of this activity you will be using an interactive Vision Statement Tool  that is accessible for English and Chinese language speakers that was created by the Open University. It was designed to stimulate design conversations, and generate a vision statement that will guide design thinking.

  1. Open the vision statement tool in a new window on your device.
  2. Follow the on screen instructions for stages 1-3 to decide on three words you would most like an imaginary student to use to describe the course being designed, when that student has completed studying it.
2. Turn your words into a vision statement:

Scenario: Imagine a student has finished studying your course and now wants to share their experience with friends or family. The student has put together a brief social media style post (for example a tweet, status update, caption to an image or video) which summarises their experience and what they got out of their time studying.

Task: Create a written social media style post which incorporates the three words you have chosen.

  • It should be no longer than three sentences.
  • You do not need to post this on social media.
  • You will be sharing your vision statement in this forum but not until you have completed the next reflective section of this activity.

Now you will have a new vision statement which outlines what you hope students will achieve and feel after completing your course. Congratulations!

3. Reflecting on your vision statement:

Reflect on the questions below and capture your reflections. You will be sharing these along with your vision statement in this forum. Your answers don't need to be in full sentences so long as they communicate your ideas clearly.

  • What implications does your vision statement have for your course design plans?
  • How will you design your course to encourage your students to describe it in this way?

Completing this activity:

This activity will be marked as complete when you have replied to this post with your social media style vision statement and answers to the reflective questions to the forum.

Once you have done this you can read through the vision statements shared by other participants. You can reply if you wish but this isn't required to complete this task.

3 3.1.2 Reading: how to ideate learning design
Activity: (estimated timing: 60 min).

The following activity will help you to reflect on and consider the student experience of learning within your course. Your learning design will be improved by considering how to use the resources within the activity in the context of what you are hoping to create as a learning experience.

  1. Read through each of the linked materials provided. 
  2. Make notes in response to the following questions:
    • How could you use the linked material in your context?
    • Which parts of your course are you most likely to change having read through the linked materials?
    • Which elements of your course design need to be adapted to be more inclusive?

4 3.1.3 Identify changes you want to make.
Activity: (estimated timing: 45 min).
  1. Identify a problem you might want to address or an element of a learning experience you might want to change. This could be within an existing course that you are involved in or for a new course that you are creating.

You may find it helpful to focus on a small section of learning, for example 1 ECTS (equivalent to 25-30hr of workload or approximately 3 weeks of learning).

  1. Create a short summary which explains the area you would like to change or develop and why. You may find it useful to review your reflections from the previous tasks in this topic and from the Innovating T&L strategies (Topic 2).

 For example you could submit one of the following:

    • Written reflection of no more than 250 words.
    • Audio file which is 1-2 minutes long. 
    • PowerPoint slides. No more than 3 slides

Once you have created your artefact use an accessibility checker to ensure that it is as accessible as it can be. Create a new discussion topic in this forum. Give it a title which links to your course or learning experience. In your post share your reflection alongside with a brief amount of information (no more than 100 words) which contextualises the course or learning experience you are focusing on. 

Once you have done this:

  1. Go to one of discussion topics created by another course participant, ideally one which hasn't yet received any comments. 
  2. Use the Peer Review checklist to give some feedback on their reflection (ideally between 50-200 words).
  3. Read through any feedback you receieve and make note of any changes you might make as a result of it. 

This activity will support you to start creating design ideas that could be entered in the BDP (as part of future activities in this topic) and reflect on the implications of what you have learnt so far in this and previous topics.

1 3.2.1 How to use the BDP tool - advanced (UZ)

Video of:

You should already have encountered the BDP tool in other sections of the 'Learning Design in the AI - Era' course. We will be returning to use the BDP to help you to consolidate existing knowledge of the tool and develop your understanding.

However, if this is the first time you are seeing information about the BDP do not worry. You can return to earlier sections of the course to help get an overview of how to use the tool to map out your learning designs and then return here for a more detailed explanation of using the tool which will help you with the next tasks.

Activity: (estimated timing 40 min).

Please watch the videos below. These videos give a more detailed explanation of using the BDP tool. You are encouraged to write notes as you watch.

2 3.2.2 Turning your thoughts in to a design on BDP - starting your learning design

Activity: (estimated timing: 40 min).

The purpose of this activity is to clearly identify what you want to start to map in the BDP or what you want to develop if it already exists in the tool. You can choose to develop the existing design you entered in the BDP (in earlier Topics) and consider what changes you might want to make. Or you could pick a new section of an existing or hypothetical course to enter into the BDP for the next few tasks of the current topic.

Activity Instructions:

1. Identify/select at least 3 weeks or at least 1 ECTS (25-30hrs) of learning to input into the BDP. 

If you are using an existing course you can choose whichever 3 weeks you like. However, it must include at least one summative assessment point (you can use content entered into the tool during Topic 2 if you want to). The weeks don't need to be sequential but should support the completion of a summative assessment.

2. Reflect on the following question and record your reflections in whatever way works best for you. 

  • Why have you identified these weeks or areas of study for development?

You may want to look back at your reflections from 'How might you approach designing a learning experience?'

Activity completion

Once you have completed your reflection mark this activity as complete and progress to the next section in this unit.

4 3.2.4 How have you approached the learning design of your course?

Now that you have had experience of creating a design within the BDP. It is time to think about how you might address the learning design challenge you identified earlier in this unit. 

Activity: (estimated timing: 60 min).
  1. Revisit your reflection and the feedback you receieved from 'How might you approach designing a learning experience' (3.1.3) about areas you might want to improve in an existing or future learning design.
  2. Create an an artefact which summarises which resources, pedagogies or approaches could be implemented to address the area of change or development you identified in 3.1.3. 
  3. You may want to use the resources from earlier in this module as well as from 'How to ideate learning design' (3.1.2) of this topic and your reflections from task (3.2.3) of entering your design into the BDP.
  4. Share this artefact in the forum and provide feedback to another course participant.

The artefect can take whatever form you like. For example you could submit one of the following:

  • Written reflection of no more than 250 words.
  • Audio file which is 1-2 minutes long. 
  • PowerPoint slides. No more than 3 slides.

Once you have created your artefact, use an accessibility checker to ensure that it is as accessible as it can be. Then create a new discussion topic in this forum. Give it a title which links to your course or learning experience. In your post share your artefact, a link to your BDP Tool space and some context (no more than 100 words) which summarises the course or learning experience you are focusing on - you could use your reflection from activity 3.2.2 here. 

Once you have done this:

  1. Go to one of discussion topics created by another course participant, ideally one which hasn't yet received any comments. 
  2. Use the Peer Review checklist to give some feedback on how they have and planned to use the learning design materials (ideally between 50-200 words).
  3. Read through any feedback you receieve and make note of any changes you might make as a result of it. 

In your artefact include the link to your BDP design. If you have created an audio file please upload the link to your BDP design in a separate document.

2 3.3.2 How might the BDP analytics help you to understand the effectiveness of your design? (OU)
Activity: (estimated timing: 60 min).

For this activity you will be using the BDP analytics pages to review the learning design (3 weeks of course content or 1 ECTS, 25-30hrs) you have entered into the BDP. You might find it helpful to have the peer assessment checklist open while you complete this activity. 

Use the BDP analytics to answer the following questions: 

  • Does your design follow the principle of constructive alignment (i.e. do the activities sufficiently scaffold the assessments?, are the learning outcomes being assessed?) If not what would you need to change?
  • Is there a balance of activity types across the learning journey?
  • Are there any other areas that are highlighted by the analytics that you may want to look into or address?

You can present your answers however you like. For example you could submit one of the following:

  • Written reflection of no more than 250 words.
  • Audio file which is 1-2 minutes long. 
  • PowerPoint slides. No more than 3 slides.
