FOLLOW UP WORKSHOPS
| Wednesday 2nd November 9:30 - 11:30 12:30 - 4:30pm | Research Workshops Doctoral Workshop Learning Design Workshop | A number of workshops will also be available the following day (Wednesday 2nd November) to give the opportunity to focus on specific topics and themes. This workshop is primarily designed for prospective doctoral students who are thinking about embarking on either an EdD or PhD in the general area of Digital Learning. It may also be suitable for current doctoral students who are still developing their research proposals, wishing to seek advice on their study, wanting to meet and network with other Irish doctoral candidates, or people considering transferring from another institution. You must register for this workshop. This workshop will explore some of the challenges of learning design in the digital era. It will introduce participants to a number of design tools and techniques for purposeful planning and course design and development. More specificially, the workshop will anchor the creative and iterative design process around the 7C Framework for learning design. The workshop has three majors objectives: (i) to help participants better understand the complexity of learning design; (ii) to help participants more seamlessly integrate on-line and off-line activities and resources, and (iii) to help participants plan, design and develop their own courses using more contemporary models of learning design. The Workshop will be facilitated by Dr Grainne Conole, a leading expert in learning design. You must register for this workshop. |
