Question from Prof. Diana Laurillard’s keynote session #13

The complexity of making learning happen successfully involves three dimensions of planning - 1. Frontline: Learning content and instruction. 2. Middleware: Learning designer for pedagogy, and 3. Backend: Learning management support system.  Question: How can teachers / educators be primed to tackle these three layers of complexities to comprehend, consider and construct meaningful learning experiences for their learners?

  1. Yes I agree, that's a good summary. They do those things already - (i) preparation and presentation, (ii) writing lesson plans,(iii) arranging and doing assignments, submission, marking, class resources, timetabling, course validation, etc. They are just expected to do all these. The technologies make them a little easier, if properly supported and integrated, and they need time to adapt to these new ways of doing all these things. But teachers do all these things already, it's just that they're familiar tasks, and the transition is difficult. They need time for this.
