Abstract
This interactive workshop will introduce a virtual personal learning environment for creating, organising, and sharing media-rich documents. This environment was developed to address issues in online education around student engagement and enabling academic staff to author their own teaching content. Its implementation was informed by design-based research undertaken from an interaction design perspective with bridging design prototypes. Its educational foundations are drawn from the fields of study skills for academic success, good visual design that facilitates metacognition, and networked learning for promoting connection between people. The implementation of a same interface for students and teachers to use has broadened participation in the creation of resources, facilitated opportunities for interesting individual and collaborative study activities, and administrative tasks have been reduced. Inspired by the feature design, these changes in study behaviour have transformed students into co-designers of learning, and teachers into facilitators of learning. These pedagogical innovations have mainly taken place in online medical and health science higher education programmes. However, these could potentially happen in contemporary design education.
