Key conclusions from this model

• Quality learning materials are assets. Good ones take significant effort and resources to produce. Secure your investment in them.

• Investing in standards (XML, JPEG …) is cost effective, helps to prevent legacy problems, ensures long-term reusability, and allows greater vendor independence.

• It is more efficient to produce learning materials using a single source publishing solution. 40-60% cheaper overall.

• A good way to deliver best practice learning designs and environments is to work with a partner that does a lot of this.

The flexible learning spectrum

• Learning can be Individual, Cooperative or Collaborative.

• Individual learning provides much individual flexibility, but little learning community.

• Cooperative learning provides much individual flexibility and access to a learning community.

• Collaborative learning required participation in a learning community, but limits individual flexibility.

Student centred learning

• Motivation – inspire and convince the learner of the importance of the subject.

• Acquisition – absorb the knowledge from its source.

• Contextualise – apply the knowledge to a relevant situation.

• Evaluate – assess if the knowledge is properly understood.
