Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Stephen Downes) So, hello everyone.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd like to state and for the record,\N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love the blue dots.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(LAUGHTER)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been sitting there\Nwatching the blue dots.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I've been cast in the role of \Nthe person who finds the problems
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the topic that we're all praising.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do like agile design, I like it a lot.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I like the concept of \Nagile {\i1}learning{\i0} design,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like it a lot.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, you know, I've been in the field \Nof programming for many years.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been in the field of learning design \Nfor many years.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've worked on small projects,\NI've worked on big projects,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been the peon \Nat the bottom of the pile
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and currently I'm the program leader\Nresponsible for producing outcomes.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I've seen it from different angles.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there's so many ways it can go wrong,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially when we move from the \Nfairly static domain of software design
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the far less static domain\Nof learning design.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's learning design.\N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the least agile thing \Nyou'll ever see.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's actually a graphic from IMS
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which produced the learning design \Nspecification.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's supposed to be \Npretty open and flexible,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's like a play with a director and roles\Nand all of that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, you know, once you're into the thing,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there isn't a whole lot of flexibility \Nhappening
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it leads to questioning just \Nwhat is it that we're up to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we are talking about \Nagile learning design?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are we talking about \Nagile 'learning design'
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or are we talking about \Nthe design of agile learning?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Two different things,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it seems to me that \Nit doesn't make sense
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to give the instructional designers\Nall that freedom and flexibility
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we're going to march students\Nlockstep through
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a predefined kind of process.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's what agile learning design\Nought to look like.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a flow.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is agile design generally, right?\N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's an iterative thing,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and yet people don't talk \Nabout that so much
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's an iterative thing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Each iteration is like designing a full\Nand complete product,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you might spin off \Nsome side things, some prototype things
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as you need to, but, you know, \Nversion 1, version 2,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're doing the same thing over again.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No course in the world,\Nwell, maybe not no course,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but few courses in the world \Nare designed that way.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Courses progress from Lesson 1, \NLesson 2, Lesson 3, Lesson 4.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't cover all of geometry \Nand then all of geometry in more detail
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all of geometry in more detail.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a different way of thinking\Nabout the process.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, one of the major concepts\Nin agile learning design,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in agile design generally, it's the Scrum.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Scrum is basically a self-organizing\Ndevelopment team.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is originally drawn from the idea that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,programmers are the smartest people \Nin the world and do not need management.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, I'm just kidding, but there is \Nthe idea here that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the programmers know how to program, and\Nthey know how to produce the outcomes,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if they're left to do the job for \Nthemselves, to organize for themselves.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And indeed, in the Scrum meeting,\Nas you are mapping out the task,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,each of the tasks, in the Scrum itself,\Nselected by the programmer.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they're volunteering to jump in,\Nto do these things.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're taking commitments on themselves,\Nthey're specifying how much time,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how much effort will be required \Nto produce the commitment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, OK: that's good\Nbut this doesn't happen by magic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It takes time, and
