Plan going forwards:
- list of people (like Wesch) and articles/readings that I need to “process”, including instructional design approaches that I come across
- scour the web for these - including Laurillard's article, Athabasca paper etc
- begin mapping the approaches, and looking for citeable literature on the ones that are important
- prepare ethics proposal before weekend
- look for articles on how the way you teach someone changes the structure of their learning
- instructional design principles/deeper theory? who to ask about this?
Basic idea
How to use digital devices (mobile + laptop) and large displays, as well as new pedagogical scripts, to enable more collaborative and inquiry-based learning in large undergraduate lectures?
Research questions
- How can we make a large undergraduate lecture more “seminar-like”
- What are the pre-requisites for effective learning in a seminar?
- Are there ways in which the large number of people in the same room at the same time can create unique learning opportunities, that could not happen in a small seminar?
- crowd-sourcing, wisdom of the crowds etc
- How can what is done in-class be supported by work done between classes, online (hybrid)?
- How can the learning be evaluated, analyzed, captured?
Bodies of literature
- Audience response systems (clickers, UnderstoodIt, etc)
- Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (right now under Higher Education Pedagogy)
- Pedagogical content knowledge
- Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning and Learning Sciences
