As part of that, I’ve been looking at elements such as pedagogy in pre-, in-, and post-class sessions so that there are principled reasons behind the design. Of course, there’s an introduction that both emotionally and cognitively prepares the learner for the coming learning experience. In thinking through how to design courses that lead to both engaging experiences and meaningful outcomes, I’ve been working on the component activities.

And one of the things that has been of interest to me is looking differently at pedagogies. I think this makes sense cognitively, but it doesn’t make sense when we start considering the learner’s emotional side. This is the pedagogy that drives the interest in serious games, embedding meaningful practice in a compelling context.

More and more teachers are beginning to realise that creating environments and possibilities where students make things is a very powerful pedagogy. Seymour Papert ''s work on constructionism outlines the cognitive gain that occurs when we create something new rather than simply repeat knowledge that has already been acquired. American educator Jackie Gerstein makes some important observations about how teachers can change their perspectives and embrace maker pedagogy.

So, performance-based learning seems to be focused on assessment, having the students actively demonstrate their ability. This is, to me, an important aspect, as cognitive science recognizes that passing a knowledge test about something is not likely to transfer to the ability to do (we call it ‘inert knowledge’). I frankly want an activity-based pedagogy and curriculum to support all of these models.

Increasingly there will be a move to quality in pedagogy ; to what effective online learning requires, to use research to inform online practice and to an overarching learning design best suited to taking your discipline online. The creative disciplines challenge learners to analyze and interpret procedural knowledge (the type of knowledge exercised in the performance of a task) rather than only the logico-deductive and linear cognitive process which dominate other disciplines.

This is known as our ‘ pedagogy ’. Since the taxonomy’s first volume ( Handbook I: Cognitive ) was published in 1956, Bloom’s name has been synonymous with lesson planning for teachers across the world. In Handbook I , Bloom and his committee identified a number of cognitive levels at which humans can function. Bloom’s cognitive levels are commonly displayed as a step pyramid, with the lower-level functions located at the bottom.

The first is cognitive load - i.e. the amount of information we can process and absorb through our primary senses; in this case, our audio and visual channels. A closer look at cognitive load theory (Sweller, 1988 ) reveals that human processing relies predominantly on visual and auditory stimuli, but this is limited.

There is nothing wrong with any of these approaches, provided they don''t get in the way of good pedagogy. The main problem with most MLEs is that they are so complex to use, students often spend more time and cognitive energy working out how to get to the content, than they do actually learning. Or is it because you have actually sat down and worked out what problems technology will solve, and how pedagogy will be enhanced by its introduction?
