I select the existing learning environment of the new Application for Online Course Development process. The first learning situation involved creating an information and instruction guide and then a fillable application form with electronic signatures. Beyond the creation of the guide, form and testing the form fields, this learning situation required a lot of dialogue and feedback with colleagues which is reflected in the design pattern. It was incorporated into the learning environment by providing to the deans/chairs for faculty use.
My second learning situation involved a meeting with the department deans to share the changes from the previous nomination process for course development to the new application process. The design pattern indicates that the deans received the information and informed their department chairs. The design pattern was void of dialogue and feedback. This was incorporated into the learning environment by the deans accurately conveying the changes to their chairs.
My third learning situation consisted of online asynchronous communication with the chairs of the departments via email or phone. The design pattern is also void of true dialogue or feedback. It included the initial information, instructions and application form with the faculty completing and submitting to their chairs and deans for approval or denial of a course development. It was incorporated into the learning environment as tell-tale signs that the deans initially provided enough information to the chairs for them to assist the faculty in their respective departments with the new application process.
