Presentation from Gráinne Conole based around 5 facets of a course. "The categories were Guidance and Support, Information and Experience, Communication and Interaction, Thinking and Reflection and Evidence and Demonstration." Well, yeah, but I am left wondering about the theoretical basis for this characterization. Why, for example, are 'information' and 'experience' lumped together in the first model. Why are 'content and activities' together in the second (which consists of "Guidance and Support, Content and Activity, Communication and Collaboration, and Reflection and Demonstration")? Educational theory loves taxonomy, but on most days I fail to see the benefit.
