Personalised Learning– Harnessing
eLearning Potential Part 1
2. Welcome to iMasterclass - Episode 1, series 3
Hume Region presents:
Personalised Learning – Harnessing eLearning Potential
Part 1 Brendan O’Brien, Gail Stanley and Libby Delbridge
3. Purpose of these Sessions
These online professional learning sessions will:
Build a community of teacher/learners beyond your school
Provide a framework for effective PLTs
Develop an effective process to evaluate online resources
to support Curriculum Planning
Provide confidence and skills in using Ultranet
4. The Learning Intention for today is......
To understand what Personalised Learning is and how it
can support student learning
The Success Criteria will include........
1. I will know what the benefits of personalised learning
are for teaching and learning
2. I will know how I can deliver personalised learning for
my students in my curriculum planning
3. I will gain an understanding of the VELS/ AusVELS
framework changes which will effect curriculum
planning.
4. I will know that there are eLearning tools available for
students that support personalised learning
6. Does your PLT already have strategies in place
for personalised learning?
Are the curriculum activities you are planning for your students a blend of inquiry
based (assessment AS learning), explicit instruction (assessment FOR Learning)
and/or support for individual learning needs (assessment OF learning)?
9. Personalised learning is NOT differentiating
instruction
Personalising learning means…
• students know how they learn so they are
prepared for today and their future as global
citizens.
• students are co-learners and co-designers of
the curriculum and the learning environment.
• students own and drive their learning.

24. Let’s view the next 5 slides on how PLTs can work
together effectively to personalise learning in
curriculum planning and identify key eLearning tools
students can use.
via Comic Life discussions…………..
25. At the I have found some curriculum planners that
PLT include eLearning that I think will help us
meeting personalise learning for our students and support
their skills and use of key eLearning tools
O.K lets have a look at them
and choose which one is best
for our curriculum planning.
We want one that really
helps us find activities that
match our student’s abilities
26. Pooling our resources and strategies
so we can plan a personalised curriculum The activities
Lets co create a
rubric with our we plan in
students so they And include essential And give students choices in the unit can
own the questions that are relevant how they present their provide
learning and and linked to the real world understandings, the eLearning choices too
know the to make the learning tools we guide them to will egs. online
learning purposeful really personalise the learning discussion
intention and for their learning style threads and
success criteria thinking tools
27. The key elements of effective curriculum planning-
student data > plan > teach > assess
We can plan our inquiry unit from
scratch using the planners or share
the task of researching whether a unit
already exists. Let’s divide the
Some units that already
recommended resources so we each exist and include
have one to research and find the Personalised Learning are
best activities for our students the Learning Quests space,
the Contemporary
Learning units in FUSE, the
This planner includes…What Intel units and umm any
works now and What are more?
the best tools to support my
learning intention
We’ll check our student data-so
we know what our students
already know and VELs/ Aus
VELs and the developmental
pathways to see what they
need to know next…
28. We can spend some time
O.K. Lets have a now looking at the DEECD
quick look at the Learning Quests and
Intel units and Contemporary Learning units

NB/ MAKE SURE Open Office is OPEN prior to uploading ppt to Blackboard CollaborateWelcome everyone. I hope you’ve had an opportunity to grab a headset as it’s a great way to participate and also elliminates any feedback. Feel free to try out any tools and use the virtual whiteboard as we deliver the session. The session is supervised. All chat messages, including private messages are seen by all Moderators. The session is being recorded and will be published online in the iMasterclass Design Space - 139211104. If you are sharing any resources please be mindful to avoid breaching school or student privacy policies or protocols.
The purpose of these sessions is to build an online community via these Blackboard Collaborate sessions and our Ultranet Design Space – iMasterclass.The Focus is on an effective PLT approach across a school using the 4A Planning Model as seen through our modelled PLT conversations that you’ll view later in this session.
This episodewill support teachers to find quality resources that can lead to personalisedlearning for our students. Our focussed eLearning resources are found in some excellent pedagogically researched toolscreated by and/or endorsed by DEECD. They can be personalised for the students we teach based on knowledge of where students are at according to data-their abilities, but also allowing choice based on their interests and learning styles.Learning Intention and Success Criteria – Hattie “Visible Learning For Teachers maximising impact on learning”These sessions can minimise teachers need to spend time searching for eLearning tools. Knowledge of suitable resources helps teachers to create learning sequences for their particular students using eLearning tools where they best provide greater opportunities for student learning. The learning sequence can be co-created with teams of teachers and shared with colleagues. Collegial collaboration is more than the sharing of resources. Collaborative learning requires a different perspective on learning theories, pedagogy and how knowledge is transferred. And every teacher not re-inventing the wheel – working smarter not harder. Teachers can facilitate learning by guiding their students to choose appropriate eLearning tools to demonstrate their understanding or keep record of their learning, to consolidate or revise learning.
Use the tools on the toolbar of the whiteboard – pencil, Text, Shape to indicate where you are located.This session is the 1st in a series of 8 sessions The first session will be about personalised learning and AusVELs in curriculum planning and how teachers can identify key eLearning tools their students can use to support their learningFollowed by 2 sessions on creating a student eLearning toolboxThen a session on personalised learning and AusVELs in curriculum planning and how teachers can identify key eLearning tools for their planning and activities for teaching and learningThen 2 sessions oncreating a teacher eLearning toolboxThe final 2 sessions will look at the way ahead and how personalised learning and eLearning can look in a whole school approach.
Text Tool - Share on the whiteboardDoes your PLT already have strategies in place for personalised learning?Are the curriculum activities you are planning for your students a blend of inquiry based (assessment AS learning), explicit instruction (assessment FOR Learning) and/or support for individual learning needs (assessment OF learning)?

Egs. TechnologyPERSONALISATION Student toolbox-free choice, DIFFERENTIATION choice of two programs eg. moviemaker and photostoryINDIVIDUALISATION program selected for student eg. you must use photostoryAssessment AS learning involves students in becoming more responsible participants in the whole learning process. They: understand the purposes of their work; generate personal learning goals that link into the broader Standards they are working towards; ask themselves metacognitive questions to actively reflect on their progress; and regularly undertake informal and formal self and peer assessment. Metacognition is the process of being aware of one’s own learning: good learners monitor their learning and thinking processes through self-monitoring. It focuses the pupil’s evaluation on his or her own performance rather than in comparison with others, which we know is more likely to maintain motivation. (Gordon Stobart and Carolyn Gipps 1997, p. 18)
Transfer file personalised learning blog post.doc also available in the iMasterclass Design Space More on personalised learning DEECD Ultranet Central 123971148 under Contemporary Learning tabJanuary 15, 2012 Posted by Barbara Bray in 21st Century Skills, Change, Learning Environments, Personalized LearningCheck out Mathtrain.tv where Eric Marcos realized that students learn best from other students.” Schools are using Khan Academy to personalize learning. Students are finding the resources and sharing them with each other. Students are flipping the classroom with their teachers. You can take university classes from MIT Open Courseware and Stanford is offering 15 free online courses. Personalizing learning starts with the learner. It is not personalized instruction. The teacher, the school, and textbook companies can individualize instruction for the different types of learners. Personalized learning means the students drive their learning and the teacher IS the guide on the side, the co-designer of their learning, and more of a facilitator to make sure the students are meeting their learning goals.

http://ausvels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/ link for chat and transfer file on AusVELS : AUSVELS handout Teach Aust.docAusVELS is a single coherent curriculum for years F-10 that incorporates the Australian Curriculum as well as VELS domains.This will continue until all Australian Curriculum studies are developed and will replace the VELS domains content.AusVELS provides one framework for curriculum and reporting purposes during this development period.AusVELS is a framework that accommodates the transition to the Australian Curriculum.The VELS framework continues to be the conceptual basis of the curriculum, however, specific content related to each domain will gradually be replaced with Australian Curriculum content.Some VELS domains currently residing in the Physical, Personal and Social Learning strand and the Interdisciplinary strand, namely Personal learning, Interpersonal development, Thinking Processes, Communications and ICT, are treated as general capabilities in the Australian Curriculum, namely Personal and social learning, Critical and creative thinking, literacy and ICT. As is the situation with VELS, knowledge and skills related to the general capabilities need to be explicitly taught to students. This teaching can take place in a ‘stand-alone’ subject, e.g. ICT or it can be integrated within another subject e.g. Science and Critical and creative thinking. This is a school decision. Whatever the decision, explicit teaching of the content of these capabilities needs to occur.
AusVELS will be phased in over the next three years, starting with F – 10English, Science, History and Mathematics in 2013. For 2014, it is anticipated that Geography and The Arts will be ready for implementation. The question marks indicate a level of uncertainty about scheduled timelines being met. For example, Languages is scheduled to be implemented in 2014 but this maybe extended to 2015. The Technologies, Health and PE, Business and economics and Civics and citizenship subjects are scheduled to be implemented in 2015 but this maybe extended to 2016. These implementation decisions are contingent on the curriculum development progress made by ACARA. The VCAA will continue to support schools implementing the AusVELS curriculum, including the early release of new AusVELS learning areas prior to their implementation, to assist schools in their curriculum planning.
The decision to remove the word ‘year’ from the curriculum reflects the emphasis on the curriculum being viewed as a developmental learning journey. It acknowledges that within any one class there will be students demonstrating a range of abilities. For example, not all students coming into a year 3 class will be at the same starting point and not all will finish the year at the same level. While the curriculum has been constructed on a sequential basis, calibrated over 11 intervals (levels), the speed with which children move through this continuum varies. The curriculum within AusVELS is not set out according to nominal year levels that equate to particular school grades but to developmental levels that point to current levels of achievement and allow for appropriate planning for expected levels of achievement.In VELS, with the exception of Level 1, a level covers two years. In AusVELS a level covers one year. This means that for assessment purposes where the standards are from the VELS domains, a student at an ‘odd’ (year) level would be working towards the next level. For example, a year 7 Art student would be learning the content of the VELS Arts domain for level 5 (aligned with year 8). However, using AusVELS terminology this would mean that the student would be considered as ‘working towards level 8’.
