Posted on by Keith Aquilina
  • Now start to map out this activity in CompendiumLD. Reflect on your experience as a student working through this activity as you map out the design.
    1. What isn’t represented?
    2. How much does the design match to your own experience of working through the activity?
    3. Is there a difference between representation of an activity as a design and as something a student actually works through?
  • Keep a note of what you like and dislike about using this tool and think about how you might use this (individually or within a team) in your own context of practice.
  • Save your design as a jpg file and upload it into the discussion forum.
  • In the forum, discuss what you liked and disliked about CompendiumLD.
    1. What do you think are its main strengths and weaknesses?
    2. Can you see yourself using this in the future?
    3. If so, how?
  • Look at some of the designs other students have posted based on the same activity and note commonalities and differences.
  • Discuss the different designs that have been posted and their commonalities and differences.
  • Also discuss to what extent this visual representation actually represents the original design intentions.
    1. What’s missing?
    2. Can you think of other ways in which the design could be represented and shared?

Currently my professional role is that of Education Officer (Quality Assurance) within the Directorate for Quality & Standards in Education in the Ministry of Education, Malta. After eight years teaching Computing and ICT within a state secondary school, I moved to the Department of eLearning where my role focused on the organisation of national educational events of which the national eLearning awards and conference, Malta Robotics Olympiad and student competitions. In addition to the work within the Department of eLearning, as from 2011 I have taken the role of ICT coordinator within the Directorate for Lifelong Learning where for 5 years, I was involved in the development and organisation of ICT related courses within the directorate’s adult education centres and collaborating entities. In 2012, I completed my Masters studies in Online and Distance Education from the Open University. This blog started off as an online reflective diary for my studies in the Masters in Online and Distance Education with the Open Univeristy. As may be easily deduced, my main interest is in technology, learning and anything in between. Linkedin; mt.linkedin.com/in/keithaquilina/
