Activity 3.2

Section 3.2 of the module materials have been about exploring the different formats for the conference presentation in February. There are three options:
  • written paper/case study
  • presentation/demonstration
  • activity/workshop

In this activity, we were asked to find examples of each and comment on why we found them interesting. The problem is, I find lots of things interesting and some of those things bear little/no relevance to the course. Narrowing it down to find something that is relevant to my project plan, yielded few results. It's as though no-one else has ever looked at electronic ILPs (individual learning plans) before, which I'm sure is not true.

In terms of deciding on a format for my project, I'm currently torn between a presentation/demonstration and a workshop but I'm leaning more towards the former. In fact, before learners even embark on their eILP, something we need to address is explaining the relevance of an ILP to their learning. Talking to learners, they often see it as an unnecessary and burdensome piece of paperwork. So maybe a video to explain the value of it would be good. This could then be embedded in the final online area.

Yes, writing this is swaying me even more to a multimedia presentation to demonstrate my ideas.
