This is part of the VLE Report 2015.
What we learned about VLE design
High level issues
- Involved are content, design and technical support. A VLE project therefore probably requires teamwork.
- The design required is twofold, namely graphical design and instructional design. The advantages of a VLE include a system that supports instructional design natively.
- An aspect of the VLE from Moodle 2.6 onwards is the existence of a badging system, based on Mozilla Open Badges. A discussion with Doug Belshaw of Mozilla brought out the point that the analogue of instructional design, in other words setting up badges with a purpose linked to education, is the dominant issue. WMUK was awaiting the Mozilla badge editor (for graphical design) before getting involved. Wikimedia Sweden has set up a system for its Education Programme.
- The content will be a wasting asset unless some maintenance is factored into the plan.
Desiderata
The desired outcome is, or should be, a VLE with:
- Outline corresponding to a definite audience (stated in a brief).
- Consistent design across the site.
- Granularity of pages set at mobile phone screen size.
- The most relevant study resources available as external links.
- Videos targetted on the most suitable topics for teaching by demonstration.
- Internal linking and navigation under close control.
