[[br]][[br]] = Welcome to the Phoebe Project Wiki = [[PageOutline]] || '''Phoebe at the JISC Online Conference 2009 [wiki:JISCOnlineConf2009Links (introduction and links)]''' || == A practitioner-focused environment to support design for learning == The aim of the Phoebe project is to guide practitioners working in post-compulsory learning (FE, HE and ACL) in designing effective and pedagogically sound learning activities. To realise this aim, we have: * Developed a prototype online planning tool that will offer users both flexible and guided paths through the planning process and encourage them to explore new approaches and tools in their pedagogy; * User-tested the planning tool for functionality and usability; and * Investigated the feasibility of further development and the integration of the planning tool into pedagogic practice by embedding it in teacher-training and staff-development contexts. The project has been carried out by Oxford University Department for Continuing Education and Oxford University Computing Services, and has been funded under the [http://www.jisc.ac.uk/elp_designlearn.html JISC Design for Learning programme]. Phase 1 (01/05/06 to 28/02/07) focused on developing a proof-of-concept prototype. In phase 2 (01/03/07 to 06/05/08) we worked on a more full-featured tool for evaluation with practitioners.
