Learning design and feedback processes at scale: stocktaking emergent theory and practice

Abstract

Design for learning in scaled courses is shifting away from replication of traditional on-campus or online teaching towards exploiting the distinctive characteristic and potentials of scale to transform both teaching and learning. Scaled learning environments such as MOOCs may represent a new paradigm for teaching. This workshop involves consideration of the how learning occurs in scaled environments, and how learning designers and analysts can assist. It will explore questions at the heart of effective learning design, using expert panelists and collaborative knowledge-building techniques to arrive at a stocktake of thinking.
