Our post-it notes: What did you like about the format and content of the workshop?

• groupwork
• great people, great ideas, and play time
• room made for discussions
• playing with the tools
• introduction to new tools and ideas, and discussions
• group discussions and ideas
• using and learning about 2 new tools: cloudworks and compendium LD
• large group, lots of activity
• loose and interactive
• I like taxonomies, e.g. a taxonomy for collaborative activities
• flexibility, netoworking, new tools
• great prep, doing what we are learning, discussions with colleagues
• enthusiasm of Grainne, great to meet with other colleagues!
• relaxed atmosphere
• instigated some good dialogue with colleagues and came away with some new ideas
• lots of experiential activity
• great networking and sharing of ideas
• format and content of the workshop was ver relaxed and intriguing at the same time. Loved the pace!
• room setup, informal nature
• prompted interesting conversations
• homework, making design visible, real examples from colleagues
• covered a lot, choice of what to pursue
• venue, networking
• I liked how flexible Grainne was - always getting feedback for what next
• open discussions
• flexible format, options, conversation, practice, applications
• oppportunties to discuss and work with others
• the workshop was very interactive
• very organized presentation, pedagogy views, design views
• opportunity to experiment, sharing ideas with colleagues from other places, seeing what others have done
• discussions were extremely useful!
• group activities and discussions
• workshop was semi-structured and responsive to learners' interests
• provided plenty of time to share in semi-directed tasks
• chat time, intro to tool, format

Our post-it notes: What didn’t you like or could be improved?

• more time to explore both tools
• challenging to learn new technologies
• need more macro design at program level
• need taxonomy of pedagogies, relevance to field of study
• need to see compendium map side by side with finished product
• barely scratched the surface
• need tighter timelines on group discussions?
• hmmmm, not sure
• perhaps of layer demo on compendium ID to better understand value
• assumed understanding of cloudworks and other technologies
• don't like (what seems like) overly reductionist view of learning design
• would have liked more practical discussion vs tool concentration
• more structured tasks, program so large could only skim
• feel like I need an LD coach
• examples of cloudworks focused on specific outcome, not topic
• need more discussion of lace of impact of ed tech
• learning curve to cloudworks (while figuring it out hard to focus on presentation, activities)
• complexity of activity
• good to know about the tool but less time on it and more on actual patterns would be great
• intro to compendium left me hanging - didn't really know where to start
• not sure how cloudworks fits into ETUG context
• need to see where slides/sites are during presentation
• not easy to hear or see
• would have been nice to have a summary
• need more modelling before use, as was done for pedagogical patterns

Our post-it notes: What action points are you going to do as a result of the workshop?

• better understanding of faculty support and engagement
• some great resources (love that I can go bck to Cloudscape)
• use compendium to create a facilitator guide and other curricular supports
• looking forward to collaborating with peers and implementing a framwork at my workplace
• explore wikieducator and evernote
• be more conscientious about documenting and sharing maps and visualizations of programs, courses, and resources
• determine methods to carry on learning in both Cloudworks and Compendium at a distance
• collaborative patterns will be useful
• learn to use Compendium LD, play in the clouds, share with co-workers
• explore Compendium LD some more, find an existing course to map out
• expand my PLE, connect with people I met today
• learn more about compendium to see how can use with SMEs during design, explore more clouds in Cloudworks
• map some existing coures using Compendium, create some example activity plans for proposed courses using compendium, tell others about cloudworks
• play more with Compendium
• learn Compendium
• will use Compendium with a SME to map out an activity
• consider design visualizers as templates
• think about research, alternatie holistic learning design models
• learn something about learning design theory
