10 | = Discussion Notes = | ||
11 | |||
12 | == 1: Presentation about the OSI-EDU-WG in May 2014 == | ||
13 | |||
14 | * At "PM-Connect" https://wiki.state.ma.us/confluence/display/projectmanagerforum/Home | ||
15 | ** Massachusetts government employees, project managers | ||
16 | ** OSI was invited to put together a presentation | ||
17 | |||
18 | == 2. Participation in OSI-EDU-WG == | ||
19 | |||
20 | * We'll be preparing a general invite soon, but if you have colleague who may like to participate in the OSI-EDU-WG, feel free to bring them along to the teleconf | ||
21 | * New content on project management in the Syllabus needs feedback, eg the "learning outcomes". Good responses so far | ||
22 | |||
23 | == 3. FLOW Syllabus Usability == | ||
24 | |||
25 | * It's a bit overwhelming | ||
26 | * Being able to tag the modules/items would be helpful | ||
27 | * Tag at what level of granularity?...hard to say, but that will be an emergent process | ||
28 | * Joseph will communicate with someone involved with Protege Ontology Manager at Stanford for some ideas ...if you haven't seen http://protege.stanford.edu/ take a look. Very cool for the relatively sophisticated folk who organize information. It's been around a long time (it has a quarter million users today, and had 50,000 users back in 2006). There might be one or more existing [[Projects.OSI-EDU-WG-notes-4mar2014.Project Management Ontology.WebHome]] that the FLOW Syllabus ought to conform to (or at least map to) | ||
29 | * There are a few different aspects: | ||
30 | ** "What my students would learn" | ||
31 | ** "Outcomes" | ||
32 | ** "Learning activities" | ||
33 | * It may be useful to write short "use case" scenarios for using the Syllabus | ||
34 | ** Each use case will have implications | ||
35 | ** This will help the WG to understand the audiences | ||
36 | ** And will help a course designed understand what | ||
37 | parts/emements of their course would likely be essential/useful to each audience type | ||
38 | * Basically, we now need to provide "tour guides" through the syllabus... By analogy, "Going to Venice": | ||
39 | ** ...for architects | ||
40 | ** ...for culinary arts | ||
41 | ** ...for business | ||
42 | ** ...for etc. | ||
43 | * These can supply some audience-tailored guidance | ||
44 | ** granular (bullet point level) | ||
45 | ** tags would enable the separate views | ||
46 | |||
47 | == 4. FLOW Syllabus Scope == | ||
48 | |||
49 | **Question:** Should "activities" be in or outside the syllabus? | ||
50 | |||
51 | * This would help to outline the topics and sources | ||
52 | * Courses include activities | ||
53 | * Educators/community can create courses and share those | ||
54 | * Activities help learners engage and practice the use of the information to develop understanding | ||
55 | * What we should not do... | ||
56 | ** We don't want to poorly usurp the role of online learning sites, rather we want to provide them useful resources | ||
57 | ** We don't want to miss engaging those partners by only having the learning activity collection distributed amongst multiple environments | ||
58 | ** Narrow the potential community because learning activiteis are designed for a particular audience (there's an inverse relationship between embedded pedagogy and reusability) | ||
59 | |||
60 | * Learning activities can form a coherent package however | ||
61 | * What is the ideal nature of content developmemt to hand-off from the syllabus and the course designers? | ||
62 | ** Technical | ||
63 | ** Conceptual | ||
64 | ** Operational | ||
65 | * OSI-EDU-WG would structure the syllabus | ||
66 | * Independent educators (including folks on the working group) can contribute supplemental content and learning activites | ||
67 | * One can't quite take the syllabus on its own and say "This is my 7-day course" | ||
68 | * One can take a section and add it to something else, or take specific items | ||
