A 'learn'ing space for lecturers

Abstract

The change to a new Learning Management System (LMS) combined with the restructuring of teacher education programmes has led to the need for additional professional development within our College of Education. An online "Educational Design Classroom" has been created with two major goals in mind: to help prepare faculty to design their online spaces for the new courses, which at times combine different subject areas within the same course; and to develop those spaces for teaching both flexible learning (distance) and oncampus students within 'Learn' (powered by Moodle) the new LMS. This poster highlights elements of the "Educational Design Classroom", the theory behind it, and its use. © 2009 Susan Tull and Barry Brooker.
