OULDI project aim“to develop and implement
a methodology for learning design composed of tools, practice and other innovation that both builds upon, and contributes to, existing academic and practitioner research.”

OULDI tools and approaches• Representations – module map, module dimensions,
activity (pedagogy) profiler • Conceptual tools and frameworks – these include
outcomes view (constructive alignment), pedagogical features card sort, OU information literacy levels framework facilitation cards
• Collaboration and design communities - Cloudworks

OULDI Library pilot• Embedding of library resources and information literacy
skills into OU curriculum is a key Library priority• Ran a series of workshops to introduce the OULDI tools,
resources and methodology to OU Librarians • Aimed to evaluate how far use of OULDI tools,
resources and methodology support Librarians in their work with module teams

Specific questionsDo module teams feel better supported and guided in relation to embedding information literacy as a result of the new approach?
How are online 3rd party and library resources being used by module teams? Has this changed as a result of the learning design approach?
Have the learning design tools and resources supported this process? In what ways?
Has there been a change in the way information literacy has been embedded as a result of the learning design approach?

What we did
• Introductory workshops with Learning & Teaching Librarians
• Follow-up workshops to update on project progress and apply concepts and tools to own context
• Faculty workshops attended by some Learning & Teaching Librarians

Case study 2:Using the IL Levels Framework

Impact of learning design on OU Librarians’ work with module teams
• Enables a coherent structure and approach to skills integration – framework is useful
• Makes possible a shared language when talking about module design
• Librarians’ growing expertise in learning design, together with the tools, means they are able to contribute more fully – saves time for module teams and leads to more effective team-working

Conclusionso Our interventions need to happen at the ‘right time’ i.e. early
in the design process
o Flexibility is needed in how tools and approaches are used
o Interventions need to support institutional curriculum design requirements, not be seen as supplementary to these
o The language used makes a difference to people’s willingness to buy in – finding a shared language is important
o Skills and attitudes of individuals makes a big difference to successful use of learning design tools and approaches
o Librarian can act as a ‘critical friend’ (from outside the discipline in question) and stimulate innovative thinking in learning design.

The future• Learning Design is being embedded into OU systems
and processes via Curriculum Business Models (CBM)• CBM brings learning design together with cost
effectiveness and module performance – costing tool being developed
• OU is moving to qualifications-based approach – big opportunity for skills integration
• Module production process is under review• Changing role of Librarian? From resource-provider to
educator

Activity: pick a card, any card…
• Pick a card• Read what it says, front
and back• Talk to the person sitting
next to you about how you might teach these skills in your context
