Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.55,0:14:57.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know today a number of instructional \Ndesigners, learning, business

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is not like the ADDIE model

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is really a model that \Nallows us to design course materials
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrapped around open education resources.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it reduces the need for students \Nto purchase textbooks
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also reduces their cost, \Nbecause in the Caribbean, which I have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-- does this work? Yeah; no, I'm pointing. \NOK, how do I go forward,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how do I go forward to the slide again? \N(Off voice, inaudible)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(DGR) Oh it's there now, OK .... (check). \NGreat, thank you --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you see a map, it's easier for me \Nto look down than to look up.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You'll see a map here of the Caribbean \Nand you will note
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I have tried to identify \Nwhere we are located:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's a little block on the map, \Nto the right.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That shows you where we are \Nin relation to the rest of the world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, North America would be up to the left \Nand Europe will be over to the right.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so these are the islands \Nwhere we have the orange lines.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those are the islands that comprise \Nthe Open Campus,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just need to tell you that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you'll see that they're small,\Nwe're scattered.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our economies are fledgling economies,\Nwe're developing countries,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're developing islands, \Nso cost is a very important element
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we're looking at students and\Ngetting them into our campus.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our campus also is not funded by\Ngovernments, because they are also
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dealing with challenges.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're very much dependent on\Nstudent fee income.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can't charge a very high fee\Nto come into our courses,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we have to keep costs down.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So hence, open educational resources \Nand our wrap-around concept
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we can just go to the next slide--\NI'm not comfortable with
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using this at all.\NI'm sorry, can you help me
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,moving to the slides?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so the project, wrap-around content\Nand support
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Content and support is really where\Nwe were before 2014.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Content and support really looks at us\Ndesigning course materials,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,working with course developers who\Nare subject matter experts,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we work with them independently.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So an instructional designer, \Nif that person is assigned to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work on developing courses in\Nthe program,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you take a Bachelor's program,\Nthat's about 30 courses,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they would be working with \N30 subject matter specialists.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We try to break it up,\Nlook at the courses by levels,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they're maybe working with 5 to 10 \Ncourses at any one time.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were working individually with \Nthese persons, so the benefits
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of all of the training and all of the \Nexperience was just going one to one.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then of course, you have multimedia designers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who would be working with our content,\Nand again that would be one to one.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you're not getting the benefit of a\Nteam kind of effort.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we realize there were issues that \Nwe needed to look at.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the things that reversed \Nwas the strategy for
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the academic division.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We were not longer able to sustain \Nsuch a model,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had to produce content very rapidly\Nand we had to find a way
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make this work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we did there\Nwas we looked at process, using
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a project management process,\Nand we by chance, we happened upon
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the agile design model.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That allowed us now to bring our\Nteams together.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all of our content experts who are\Nworking in a particular program,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we are working on, let's say,\Non courses,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they can all be together in an online \Nenvironment working collaboratively,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they're sharing, \Nthey're knowing what each other's doing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that you find that the courses can be\Nsequential, there's no overlapping
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because everybody knows what everybody\Nelse is doing and we are following
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a particular plan.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we recognized that that needed\Nto happen and we started that process of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,moving and transitioning.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, there are implications there\Nfor the departmental operations,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are looking at working differently \Nwith content persons,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are looking at our instructional\Ndesigners, working differently to support
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these individuals.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And of course, there is an impact on our\Nproduction teams to produce materials.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we found that it was easier now \Nto design our learning activities
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around that content because we \Nhad everybody collaboratively together.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We thought it would be a good idea\Nto move lessons into that way of thinking.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I can go quickly to the\Nagile learning design slide, please.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, Jasmine was just talking about \Nsome of the characteristics when you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,look at agile learning and particularly\Nwith recognizing that there's an \N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,opportunity to be collaborative.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was also an opportunity for us to\Nwork in an iterative manner.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We also recognize that we could \Nbe flexible with the model,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we could be very creative in what we did\Nin terms of helping our subject matter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,experts to design authentic learning \Nactivities.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We could be very responsive\Nbecause if we are working
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on a project management kind of \Nenvironment,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can respond very quickly\Nto the things that need to be changed.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And of course, we had to be very lean\Nbecause we are talking about developing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a number of courses in a short space\Nof time and we need to do things
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a very clean and clinical manner,\Nso that we can move ahead very, very
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quickly.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of these support strategies\Nthat we had to use was of course,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had to have an emphasis on \Ncross-functionality.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We could not just operate\None on one, so we had to look at
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bringing all members of a particular \Nteam together.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We had to have an emphasis on \Ninteractions,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people had to be able, they had to feel \Nvery comfortable,.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are in an online environment,\Nas I showed you in a map,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are scattered, so your content\Nexpert could be in Germany,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we really needed to be able to\Ninteract in a way brought meaning

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the students, it's not meaningful to \Nthe persons who are leading the courses.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We also looked at emphasis on rapid \Nand decisive response to change intiatives.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you had people who were working in \Na particular way or over a period

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you found that there are persons who \Ncould just not step up to the plate.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, we were already in that situation,\Nso the head honcho had to hold their

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we had to keep, you know,\Na kind of process going that was
