Title: The CILT Design Principles Database: A New Form of Synthesis for Technologybased Curriculum Design


1
The CILT Design Principles DatabaseA New Form
of Synthesis for Technology-based Curriculum
Design
  • CILTs Design theme team Discussant
  • Yael Kali, Michele Spitulnik, Marcia Linn Nora
    Sabelli

.
2
Synthesis A Growing Need
  • Numerous technology-based learning environments.
  • The knowledge and experience of designing such
    environments is distributed.
  • Design experiments outcomes include tacit
    knowledge gained through the iterative process of
    design.
  • There is a growing need for synthesizing this
    tacit knowledge, to make it useful for future
    designs.

3
Issues concerning design principles and Solutions
in the database
  • Issue 1 Connectedness
  • Issue 2 Grain-size level
  • Issue 3 Limits, Tradeoffs, Pitfalls
  • Issue 4 Where to Start?
  • Issue 5 Importance of Discussions

4
Issues Solutions
  • Publishing in the database requires connecting.
    Interface encourages connecting to others
    entries.
  • Issue 1 Connectedness
  • Design Principles are meaningful only when
    anchored with example software features (and vice
    versa).

Issues Solutions
  • Issue 2 Grain-size level
  • Need to be specific enough to guide new designs
    but general enough to cut across contexts.

9
Issue 2 Grain-Size Level
Meta-Principle
Help Students Learn from Each Other
Design Principle
Collaboration Requires Common anchors
Scaffold the Development of Classroom Norms
Combine offline small-group discussion with
online larger group discussion

Issues Solutions
  • Issue 3 Limits, Tradeoffs, Pitfalls
  • When does a Design Principle stop working?
  • What do you gain and what do you lose when
    designing with the DP?
  • How can others avoid your mistakes?

Issue 3 Limits, Tradeoffs, Pitfalls
Design Principle
Provide dynamic visual aids for perception of 3D
phenomena
Possible pitfall Dont forget to encourage
students to create mental images

Issues Solutions
  • Issue 4
  • Where to Start?
  • Features ? Principles?
  • Principles ? Features?
  • The database allows different entry points for
    connecting data

13
Issues Solutions
  • Issue 5
  • Enabling Discussions
  • Public discussions about design principles are
    at least as valuable as the principles
    themselves.
  • The database connects each entry (Feature,
    Principle, Meta principle, Connection), to a
    discussion within the database.

14
Future directions
  • Add Data Online Workshops
  • Establish an editorial board
  • Initiate public discussions
  • Highlight controversies
  • Merge, connect discriminating between ideas
  • Widen the audience
  • Teachers
  • Graduate students
  • Improve Application
  • Research
