What it takes to teach with technology
The teaching workload is increasing in terms of Planning for how students will learn in the mix of the physical, digital and social learning spaces designed for themCurating and adapting existing content resourcesDesigning activities and resources for all types of active learning Personalised and adaptive teaching that improve traditional methodsProviding flexibility in blended learning optionsGuiding and nurturing large cohorts of studentsUsing learning technologies to improve scale AND outcomes
BUT: Institutions and teachers do not typically plan for the teaching workload implied by these learning benefits the need to collaborate to innovate with technology We need to rethink our approach to what it takes to teach

What is the teaching design
equivalent of the journal paper?
The Learning Designer: Browse
The Learning Designer: Adopt(interpreting Tudor portraits)
Details of: learning context, topic, aims, outcomes, student numbers, duration
Details of the pedagogy: types of learning activity,
group size, teacher presence, attached urls, duration,
student guidance
Analysis of the learning experience calculated
dynamically
The Learning Designer: Adapt(experimental design for Psychology)
Note the designed time is much greater
than the allotted time
Every section of the learning design can be
edited, and new resources attached
Analysis of the learning experience adapts to
your edits

I was a little disappointed that in my particular case nobody had done any review.
It's quite disappointing if you work on your LD, then try hard to do good review for someone else, and no-one is reviewing yours.
