Under the Hood: Learning Design Behind Georgia Tech\u2019s Degrees at Scale<\/strong><\/a> — from evolllution.com by\u00a0Shabana Figueroa and Yakut Gazi<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Rolling out the MM program in May and the degree program in August meant design coordination and creation of eight new online courses in less than a year. We needed a new approach that employed strategies for efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\n

The Learning Design Team
\n<\/strong>GTPE\u2019s learning design team partners with faculty members to develop their online courses from start to end, providing the heavy lifting for course production. A director of learning design oversees both the instructional design and production aspects of the course production across the entire program. This cross-functional team approach eliminates the silos created by independent instructional design and studio production teams, which in turn, minimizes hand-off points, decreases friction among teams, allows for long-term thinking that leads to smarter course design and development decisions, provides fluidity of talent and roles within the team, and fuels productivity.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

…the paradigm shift to a learner-focused, team-based approach to course production and delivery, and collaboration of campus partners and groups…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nNote the use of a team-based approach here. I think that the team-based approach will be the most beneficial to the world at large. Those teams will be able to deliver a high-quality learning experience, with high production values and carefully planned\/crafted instructional designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Learning How to Learn: Anatomy of a good MOOC<\/strong><\/a> — from linkedin.com by\u00a0Bill Ferster<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

Barbara Oakley\u2019s MOOC, Learning How to Learn [2] is the exception to this trend. It is well-produced, informative, and fully embraces the new medium. With over 2 million registered students and completion rates of over 20% [3], (the average MOOC completion rate is 5%), Learning How to Learn is clearly resonating with its audience.<\/p>\n

The question is why is it so popular? Intrigued, I enrolled the short MOOC to understand why it was so popular, and what lessons it might have for other MOOC authors to make their offerings more effective their \u201cfilmed plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Oakley has clearly bucked the overall MOOC trend and has made good use of the inexpensive technologies with well-lit scenes that are clearly edited and make use of the green screen overlay technologies found in her Adobe Premiere video editor. She used a large teleprompter to ensure a fluid delivery of her message and high-quality audio.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Learning to Learn is effective because Oakley put a significant amount of effort making it effective. Good content, coupled with high production values, and sound pedagogy take time to produce and clearly pays off in the final product.<\/p>\n
