Modeling Learning Environment Layers

Modeling Learning Environment Layers

The sample learning environment that I selected was a Collaborative Conference Proposal from the ILED Pinterest board.
The Outcome layer is the Conference Instruction and Guideline (Info) and Ideas and Roles (Dialogue). It provides the details necessary for collaboration.

The Strategy layer is the Notes, Comments and Edits (Feedback). It transcends from the dialogue and is more concrete
The System layer is the Draft Proposals 1, 2, & Final and Submission (Practice, Practice & Evidence). It allows for the organization of the ideas and for revisions to the final proposal.

The Experience layer might consist of the collaboration portions (Dialogue & Feedback). It is formed from the collaborative efforts with the potential to encompass all ideas from each role.Collaboration ensures that everyone feels their input is valuable and matters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
The design process incorporated all of the layers to a degree. It changed the way I thought about the design process because I felt the need to re-use some of the content blocks. Therefore, the outcome, strategy, system and experience layers are important elements to consider when creating a learning environment model.

Exploring Design Layers in Learning Environments

In my newest role as project manager, I assist in the process of identifying the task for each strategic goal, assigning a project lead (and other assignee's as needed), creating a status system, projected budget and timeline.

The outcome of this learning environment is designed for the purpose of awareness and to enable team members to complete their goal(s) as planned.

The strategy consists of a detailed spreadsheet shared among team members to assist with efficiency and time management.








The system is comprised of an overview session with the project lead, a brainstorming session (that is specific to the deliverables) with all team members and for developing the task.

The experience should provide a sense of collaboration, ownership, and accomplishment.
