|
Aim of the Toolkit: |
|
This
is an tool to facilitate communication between the VLE Architect |
|
during
the discussion process with the e-content provider/subject matter expert to
produce, |
deconstruct or adapt a VLE. |
|
Objective: |
|
Gather
data to validate the usefulness of the VDT for constructing |
|
case studies in this
research. |
|
Method: |
|
Use
the toolkit with a selected range of VLE managers to produce |
|
case studies and feedback
data. |
|
Induction directions: |
|
1)
Click the tab links below for the VLE component areas. |
|
2)
Read the component descriptions |
|
3)
Enter the Virtual Autonomy Value (VAV) 1, 2 , or 3. |
|
4)
This will be automatically totaled and averaged. That figure is then sent to |
|
this summary page for model matches. |
|
5)
This serves to make explicit VLE issues and act as a guide for the |
|
instructional
designer and e-content producer. |
|
6)
Next compare the profile to the charts and change as needed. |
|
7)
The total average will direct you to a GVM (Generic VLE Model) |
|
8)
Cross compare the model to the Knowledge & Learning Grid |
|
9)
Cross compare to the DISC paradigm grid |
|
10) Consider the WMM
(Web Metamorphosis Model), |
|
for
the creation, decomposition or analysis of your VLE. |
|
11)
Please do the Transitional Autonomy Model Check list |
|
12)
Please do the evaluation survey. |
