I’ve been reviewing the most relevant literature in an attempt to identify an e-pedagogical framework from which to maybe define and establish some minimum standards for online courses.
From this framework I am looking to develop a toolkit that can be used for course designers as a way to structure learners engagement online and from which to choose a range of suitable learning activities related to particular learning outcomes and learner characteristics. The idea is that such a toolkit will be a guiding ‘architecture’ that enables flexibility and application across a range of contexts.
So far I’ve come up with a 3 step methodology and a 7 stage learning process to be used to put the right content wth the right media. The conceptual framework for this toolkit takes into account that a) different formats for delivery support different kinds of learning experiences and that b) the same instructional design principles can be used across different media.
In short, desgining online learning which has the same format and structure but different content. (Intended research outcome.)
The data I gather from the surveys will inform the development of this toolkit.

It might be an idea to try to develop some shared repository of relevant academic literature,,, or at least a shared list with links to relevant online papers or refs for inter lib loan? What do you think?

I think that’s a good idea. I have a number of articles saved as pdf files. What do you think is the best way to organise this?
