Conducting Educational Design Research Workshop #sotelnz #ascilitemlsig #ascilite 18th Feb 2019 with Tom Reeves

Conducting Educational Design Research ​ Educational design research (EDR) addresses two primary goals:  •  improving educational effectiveness in specific practical settings, and  • identifying empirically grounded and sharable design principles and models for enhancing educational effectiveness beyond specific settings.  A third, but nonetheless important goal, is professional development for all participants, both practitioners and researchers. Since its formalization in the early 1990s, EDR (also known as "design-based research" and by several other names) has become increasingly adopted by educational researchers and collaborating practitioners working in fields such as educational technology, the learning sciences, and healthcare education.  EDR goes beyond "action research" by combining the solution of real world practice problems with the search for reusable/replicable intervention design principles. The emphasis in this workshop will be less on the theoretical aspects of EDR and more on the "nuts and bolts"…

#cmaltcmooc, #sotelnz
We’re running the #CMALTcMOOC again starting 24 September – so it’ll be great to have you on board – please encourage your colleagues who may benefit from becoming part of the community and the journey to signup at https://cmaltcmooc.wordpress.com/contact/ The CMALT cMOOC aims to mentor and support applications for CMALT accreditation. CMALT is the Certified Member of the Association of Learning Technologies (available to either ALT or ASCILITE members https://www.alt.ac.uk/certified-membership) and recognises experience and expertise in the use of technologies for learning. This is available to academic and allied staff who are interested in or have successfully integrated the use of learning technologies in the course(s) they teach. We have developed the CMALT cMOOC (https://cmaltcmooc.wordpress.com) as a 7-week online support programme/network, and the next iteration of this starts on September 24…
