How enABLe Works
The enABLe approach is based around three component elements. These are:
The Design Needs Analysis Meeting
Two to three weeks prior to your enABLe workshop, the course team will be invited to attend a Design Needs Analysis (DNA) meeting with an enABLe workshop facilitator. This initial meeting will enable the participant team to discuss:
Length and format of the workshop
Specific focus around workshop activity
Requirements around pre-workshop activity
Expected outcomes and deliverables from the workshop
The enABLe workshop has been designed to accommodate a flexible approach to learning design around a number of specific scenarios:
Scenario 1: A programme requiring significant attention around learning and teaching and the student experience as flagged in the EQUIP process
Scenario 2: A programme requiring a refresh around learning and teaching, particularly focusing on a specific area (e.g. assessment)
Scenario 3: New programme development
The enABLe Workshop
Guided by the DNA meeting and discussions with the participant team, the enABLe workshop, designed to run in a variety of formats to accommodate maximum participant engagement, will guide participants through a series of activities to facilitate a team-approach to learning design. While the structure of the workshop can vary, a typical workshop structure covers the following:
Activity 1: Introductions and Creating a Shared Vision
Introductions and card activity to identify key course or module features
Activity 2: Module Strapline and Tweet
Creating a mission and tweet mapped to Portsmouth Hallmarks
Activity 3: Learning Outcome and Assessment Review
Review of learning outcomes and assessment based on initial DNA meeting and aligned to Activities 1 and 2
Activity 4: Activity Creation and Storyboarding
Using the Context Creator, templates and storyboard to facilitate design, integrating learning type elements and identified design principles
Activity 5: Review and Action Plan
Focus on action-planning to maintain momentum around learning design
The Review Meeting
Two to three weeks after your workshop, you will be invited to a follow-up review meeting to discuss outcomes of the workshop and subsequent progress. This meeting gives the participant team the opportunity to discuss:
Progress on action planning and deliverables
Specific challenges or barriers to learning design
Subsequent CPD / training needs – reflecting team v individual requirements
Subsequent monitoring and review
