Creativity and design (again) - Learning Technologies presentation

I presented at the Learning Technologies conference (London) yesterday. My talk was called "Re-learning learning design" and if you've read what I've written over the last few years, you'll probably know what is was about.

But here's the presentation anyway. It's not particularly self-explanatory, so do get in contact if you want to know more about it. Alternatively, I understand there will be a video of the presentation on the Learning Technologies site at some point.

What I've found in giving these talks is that there's quite a bit of interest in expanding them into workshops. So that's what I've done. I've currently got one called "A creative tune-up for learning designers" (outline here), and another, based on yesterday's talk, called not suprisingly "Re-learning learning design".

I've not been blogging for the last few months because a number of personal issues got in the way. But many thanks to Clive Shepherd yesterday who introduced my session and, whether he meant to or not, encouraged me to re-start.

Really enjoyed your presentation at learning technologies. Just wish you'd had more time to expand your ideas. Could you post a copy of the spiral design model you mentioned?

There are lots of accounts of Boehm's original idea of sprial methodologies. Have a look at http://www.hyperthot.com/pm_sdm.htm or http://infolab.stanford.edu/~burback/watersluice/node53.html. Basically it's all pretty obvious, despite the elaborate explanations. Also google SCRUM methodology. It's interesting that although this area is no longer a really hot topic for debate in the software development mainstream, (you learn about it in basic undergrad courses now, and have for some years), it's very unusual around e-learning.
