Carly begin our working session on GSWG Learning Pathways. She shared this Google doc with information about how to construct learning pathways.
- She explained some of the ways that learning pathways can be constructed.
- She reinforced that they are definitely designed to be audience-specific.
- Judith commented:
- BLOGs, will eventually be down in the history of ToIP posts. But on a learning pathway, the most important points will always be available.
- YES: Different Audiences!!! So perhaps pick an audience you are writing for for the first one.
- I might suggest: Creating a master path way, with the content that is relevant to all. And then audience/topic specific objects (in learning development, they are called "learning objects").
- The languaging for different audiences can also change (because they use different vocabularies).
- Carly used the analogy of creating "oil drops" that can be parts of a pathway.
- We discussed a progression from Google docs to the Confluence wiki.
- We will create a Google Drive folder under the Ecosystem Foundry WG shared drive for that purpose.
- However we agreed that we as soon as we had a home page ready, we could move to the Confluence wiki since it does not yet have much "outsider" traffic (in fact it's hard to find from the ToIP website).
- Then we will continue building out new learning pathways on the Confluence wiki.
- DECISION: We will create the initial learning pathways on the Confluence wiki.
- ACTION: Carly Huitema to work with Judith Fleenor to create the Learning Pathway home page.
- ACTION: ALL - coordinate via Slack over the next few weeks to fill in the first complete learning pathways for the GSWG deliverables.
