This project foregrounds design as a socially relevant act in which the designer is an agent for positive societal
change. This is important in the education of a design student as all to often design education tends to focus on
commercial design activities so as to make the student ‘job ready’ rather then promoting critical, reflective and empathetic
thinking

Self regulation elements in the adult literacy blended learning solution

Dr. Norine Wark

Literacy adult courses are traditionally delivered as synchronous face-to-face courses. Mobile technology introduced into literacy education enables a blended approach to learning by allowing for time and place flexibility. Literacy Uplift is a research project that aims to define design guidelines and principles for a mobile adult literacy learning system. Tabuenca, Kalz, Drachsler, and Specht (2015) explore the importance of tracking and monitoring time devoted to learning with mobile tools and their effect on self-regulated learning. Their work shows that there is a positive correlation between self-regulated learning and monitoring study-time, as well as between self-regulated learning and study-time planning. These authors also noticed that complexity of the tool has a negative impact on a learner’s ability to use and integrate the tool into their schedule, hence forfeiting the benefits of the monitoring. With tools such as Experience API (xAPI) integrated into the system, time monitoring and logging can be done automatically without additional actions from the learner beyond giving one-time permission. Time spent on learning as well as other learner analytics can be visualized using various tools. These tools can not only show individual progress, but can also present the learner’s situation within the context of a group when possible. Such information, combined with positive reinforcement through notifications and reminders, can be very motivating. As reported by Tabuenca et al. (2015), notifications and reminders have a positive impact on learner results. These authors suggest that notifications containing learning analytics and generic tips on self-regulation may positively influence time management skills and, as a result, improve the learner’s ability to incorporate learning episodes into everyday life. Such reminders create occasional “stop and think” moments that, if containing adequately contextualized messages, can support learners in the capacity of learning to learn, especially when these notifications are combined with suitable visualizations. Tang and Kay (2014) claim that rewards and reward schedules are powerful techniques that can engage users in self-monitoring and reflection. Providing possibilities for the learner to see how they do in comparison to other learners in their course can encourage the learner to self-monitor more closely, and develop the habit to maintain this behaviour over time (Zichermann & Cunningham, 2011). In this presentation, we analyze the design guidelines for a mobile adult literacy learning solution, focusing on the self-regulation and self-motivation elements required for successful learning using a blended learning approach. The analysis also points to potential technological solutions that can support implementation of these guidelines. Time tracking and reminders, visualization tools, and gamification elements as motivation and guidance tools in self-regulated learning are also discussed.

Ally & Wark (2017) Mobile Learning to Improve Access

Dr. Norine Wark

We are in the mobile era where mobile technology is available to billions of people around the world. Education should take advantage of this availability to deliver education to everyone regardless of location and status. Society has the responsibility to provide a basic education to everyone. This is reinforced by UN Sustainable Development Goal 4: “inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning for all”. There are many benefits for using mobile learning in education, but the most important ones include reaching people in remote locations, educating the disadvantaged, allowing learners to learn in context, and facilitating social interactions for learning. The implementation of mobile learning and the availability of open education resources will provide equal access to education to citizens of the world and allow education to reach the unreachable. People in many countries, especially developing countries, already have mobile technology which they can use to access education. People in developing countries are skipping the large computer age and moving directly to mobile technology. The young generations of students are comfortable using technology. This provides an excellent opportunity for educators to reach learners around the world regardless of location. The combination of mobile learning and use of open education resources will make education affordable to everyone. Education for all cannot be achieved with the current traditional education system where learners have to go to a specific location to learn. Using mobile technology allows learners to use the communication capabilities of the technology to network with people around the world so that they learn from each other and share information. Mobile and emerging technologies will allow ubiquitous access of information and learning materials where citizens of the world can access learning materials from anywhere and at any time. The technology will exist everywhere giving learners’ seamless access to learning materials. The learning space is moving away from the classroom at a specific time to anyplace and anytime. This presentation will describe how mobile technology can be used to increase access to education. It will present examples of successful mobile learning implementations. Participants will be able to identify how they can use mobile learning in their organizations to provide flexible access to education.

Participatory Design and Development for and with CoPs

Amaury Daele

The document discusses participatory design and development for and with communities of practice (CoPs). It outlines six design principles for knowledge building processes in CoPs put forth by Hewitt and Scardamalia. These principles are effective peer interactions, different forms of discourse and participation, focus on communal problems, promote awareness, build on each other's work, and emphasize the community's work. It also discusses collaborative design between CoP members, developers, and pedagogical/knowledge management specialists through the co-elaboration of boundary objects to bridge actors and connect CoP needs to design principles and tool use.

Action Research Leads to Teacher Initiated Changes in ICT integration

College Ste-Anne de Lachine

This document summarizes an action research study conducted by a group of 9 teachers at Lower Canada College exploring technology integration. Through journals, observations, meetings and questionnaires, the teachers found that action research helped shift their approach to technology from controlling to letting go and transforming practice. It also fostered a sense of community as they learned from each other. As a result of their technological initiatives, the teachers were better able to achieve differentiated learning and teach new digital literacy skills to students such as information, media and ICT literacy. Overall, the action research process helped establish an ICT professional learning community that supported trying new approaches and questioning existing practices.

Towards Design Thinking in Academic Staff Development

Daniela Gachago

1. Resolving the South African Textbook Crisis. University of Johannesburg - FADA Design Society Development South Africa Terence Fenn

2. Promoter Terence Fenn Departments of Multimedia and Industrial Design, University of Johannesburg Promoter Terence Fenn Departments of Multimedia and Industrial Design, University of Johannesburg Aknowledgements. Collaborators: Jason Hobbs and Chris Bradnum

5. The design process. Research methodologies that facilitate a systemic understanding of the textbook ecosystem are utilised to frame the problem. Groups then apply a range of synthesis tools commonly used in Information Architecture design to define solution strategies. Strategies that appear most likely to be successful are developed into digital and product prototypes. The design process. Research methodologies that facilitate a systemic understanding of the textbook ecosystem are utilised to frame the problem. Groups then apply a range of synthesis tools commonly used in Information Architecture design to define solution strategies. Strategies that appear most likely to be successful are developed into digital and product prototypes.

6. Activism and Civic Participation ddeessiiggnn aaggeennccyy ssoocciiaall ttrraannssffoorrmmaattiioonn This project foregrounds design as a socially relevant act in which the designer is an agent for positive societal change. This is important in the education of a design student as all to often design education tends to focus on commercial design activities so as to make the student ‘job ready’ rather then promoting critical, reflective and empathetic thinking

7. ssoocciiaall eeqquuiittyy Social Interactions and Relations cciivviicc ssuussttaaiinnaabbiilliittyy The project encourages students to interact with and engage with people such as teachers, learners and school principals, who are directly affected by the textbook shortage. Notions of social equity and civic sustainability were introduced, often by the students, and discussed in relation to the designer’s role in society.

8. Production, Distribution and Consumption systemic solutions A strong focus of the project was on a systemic approach to solving the crisis. Many design solutions focused on the textbook life cycle from the perspective of delivery, learning management or a combination of both

9. Skill Training and Design Education ssoocciiaall ttrraannssffoorrmmaattiioonn ddeevveellooppmmeenntt hhuummaann cceennttrreedd eetthhooss This project forms part of larger design education intervention in the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at the University of Johannesburg that seeks to promote design as a tool for positive social transformation and development. This project aims to sensitise students to the requirements of designing with and for the other 95% by applying a human centred ethos and design research methodologies

10. Storytelling and Visualisation information architecture ‘Golden thread’ from research to solution A key component of this project is the integration of a number of the design tools used in Information Architecture to analyse, synthesis and visualise data. These tools are introduced and used to assist students to manage and respond to the complexities of societal problems and to ensure that final design solutions retain a strong conceptual link to insights gained in the research activities.
