Steven Warburton
Head of Department, University of Surrey, UK
Professor Steven Warburton is the Head of Department of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) at the University of Surrey and programme leader for MA in Higher Education TEL pathway. He is also a Fellow of the Centre for Distance Education within the University of London International Programmes where he leads work within the research strategy group. He has led and cooperated on a range of national and European projects that have included developing a methodology for abstracting design patterns through sharing expert practice, learning and teaching in virtual worlds, and digital identity and social media. Recently he has been working on building design patterns for MOOCs, digital fluency, mobile learning, and attribution theory.

Speaker
Davinia Hernández-Leo
Associate Professor, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
Davinia Hernández-Leo is currently professor at the Information and Communitations Technologies Department of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, the coordinator of the Educational Technologies research line of the Interactive Technologies Group (GTI), Vice-Principal of the UPF Polytechnic School and the Director of its Unit for Teaching Quality and Innovation. Davinia was previously (2003-2007) a member of the (GSIC/EMIC group) multidisciplinary group at the University of Valladolid, Spain, where she received the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees (European mention, several awards) in 2003 and 2007, respectively. She was been also visiting scholar at the Open University of the Netherlands (2006) and Virginia Tech (2012). Davinia has been honoured with several awards, such as the 2006-2007 European CSCL Award for Excellence in the field of CSCL Technology, Best Paper Award Computer Assisted Assessment Conference 2010, Best Paper Award of the International Conference In Advanced Learning Technologies 2004, ITWorldEdu2011. She has authored over 90 journal articles, book chapters and conference papers. Her research interests are framed in the interdisciplinary intersection of Telematics Applications, Human-Computer Interaction and Education; with an emphasis on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, ICT-mediated orchestration of activities in physical spaces, modelling techniques and (co-)design processes, specifications and standars, distributed telematics applications for integrated learning flows.

Content
Is your company, organisation or institution about to venture into the world of online education? Are you planning to produce a MOOC, an online, blended or hybrid course? Or perhaps, you have already made the leap into the online world, but feel you can improve your practices and make more effective use of technology? This hands-on design workshop will give you the tools you need.
In this workshop you will learn how to:
- Identify your learners’ needs, assets and constraints
- Articulate the aims and objectives of the course for you and for your learners
- Consider the appropriate pedagogical approaches, the effective educational practices, and the suitable technologies to support them – for achieving the aims you defined in the situation you described
- Storyboard high-level design for your course, along with models of activity flows and specific exemplar activities.
- Develop tools and methods for evaluating the success of your learning innovation.
At the end of the day, you will take home a set of draft designs, which you can develop further to produce an effective learning innovation, and a toolkit for designing more innovations.
The workshop is offered by MOOCs & Co. (moocsandco.com/), Europe’s premier e-learning design agency. It will be facilitated by Dr. Yishay Mor, MOOCs & Co.’s educational design scientist, Professor Steven Warburton, head of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Surrey, and Professor Davinia Hernández-Leo, Vice-Principal of the UPF Engineering School and the Director of its Unit for Teaching Quality and Innovation. It draws on Professor Warburton’s and Dr Mor’s findings from the University of London’s MOOC design patterns project (www.moocdesign.cde.london.ac.uk), and utilises the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE) developed by Professor Hernández-Leo.
“The workshop fulfilled all my expectations. I met other learning designers, and I have played with MOOC design. That is what I wanted! I have become aware of tools that I can use for engaging the learning community, and I have learned about different scenarios in which to use them.” – Participant in our eMOOCs 2015 design workshop.

Outcomes
Participants will develop their insights into the challenges and potentials of MOOCs, and online education in general. They will acquire an understanding of the learning experience design approach, which will allow them to develop effective learning innovations suited for their audience and their objectives. At the end of the workshop, participants will take home a set of draft designs, which they can develop further to produce their learning innovation, and a toolkit for designing future innovations.
